      Cheers guys, I can get "Carrs leather oil" from my local Timpsons, anyone herd of that or used it? Should that do the trick?

      Thanks again!

        A while ago I remember someone posting a link to a book about fly fishing in cities and the like.  I searched all over and can't seem to find the post in question.

        Anyone by chance remember the name of the book? Giles maybe?

        I'd like to get a copy of it for my father…

                    How do you all fell about selling items rcvd as gifts or deeply discounted?  I think it's kind of slimy (especially when the person is/was part of a loosely-tightly-knit-informal-formal-organization-clique-squad) but wanted to see if someone could help me to look at the matter in a different light.

                    Thanks

                      Personally, I have deeply discounted stuff for favours given and I get feckin mad when I see the item/items selling for more than I sold it for.  I think that it is bloody bad manners…..

                        unless the sale price is a nominal fee to cover shipping and trouble I think it's shady

                            i think it's bad manners/form as well, & will give my brief perspective.

                            many moons ago we had a pretty interesting discussion about the forum dynamic & the concept of "mates" & "family", "brotherhood" & all that kind of good stuff. i said we aren't all "mates" to the person i was speaking with & unfortunately that practice falls into selling "gifts".

                            for most of my life i've been a part of numerous organizations which have very distinct honor system which for the most part puts me at odds with a large segment of the population.  although I'm pretty laid back, most of those things really stick with me & governs the way I interact with people. it's also one of the reasons i actually admire forum members that aren't always popular (injun & one of the adams come to mind) but are true to their own value system.

                            any ways, just thought it was worth getting a different perspective

                              A good post to think about Monday.  Thanks for that.

                              I run into it most often when searching ebay.  When someone on an actual forum does it, they usually get called out.

                              Buying/selling records is a good example, but I've noticed it with clothing/shoes as well.

                              Out with the new! In with the old!

                                I have a fucking distinct honor system right here, it's called being half-Korean.

                                  I have deleted a series of posts.  I came back from holiday in a good mood, now I am in a distinctly bad one.  If you children can't behave yourselves in public, I will throw you out of the playground.  I have better things to do with my time than clean up after you.

                                      Injun, you'll never know and that that is precisely the point.  Thus your post is completely redundant….
