For some reason, not at the moment, use army surplus combat trousers instead. I am now considering getting a boiler suit though: ship's chandlers used to have the best ones, with handy pockets, well stitched button fronts, etc.</p> <p>Boiler suits were "in" with art students in the 1980s. And dungarees.</p> <p>Oh, and the 'plup plup' can <em>has</em> to be made of brass.

I'm talking about red oil, in a bottle, with a squirty nozzle at the top. You even have to wipe your hands with a rag afterwards, that's how garage mechanic manly this stuff is. Oh, and don't forget to don overalls, work boots, and tuck a pencil behind your ear to complete the look. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4573#post-48676 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:24:52 +0000 Stepdoh 48676@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Today was a quiet chain WIN!
