Have a look at this!

I wonder who's selling it? Although the user name might be a clue

Sadly, I've just binned mine as the elbows were wearing a bit thin!

Here's a piccy of the infamous jackets in all their glory!

Does that garden centre (that has a problem with its spell-checker) sell ride-on lawn mowers? I think I'm gonna need one soon.

Perhaps you can pick one up whilst you're there young Billy - the exchange rate is very favourable at the mo.

BTW, I know all the names but refuse to do a Botty!!!!!

ANDY... Please stop interupting the Horn section when they're having their own little reunion...It's really bad manners, and they'll teach you new words most unbecoming of an honourable Bassist....
