    Any news on the jacket? Though I think OLM had it in Bury this weekend.

    Maybe we're overdoing the jokes about Sterling's lost weekend. Perhaps we should jacket in.

    I was wearing completely appropriate jacketage at Bury, along with my very fetching flat cap, the problem was the hailstones hitting my hands and face.

    I've never been to Helsinki, but I imagine it's very similar to Bury.

    The jacket has now been framed as a battle damaged token of war to forever commemorate my foray into the world's most boring ****ry. And no, ****ry doesn't have an o in it.

    The jokes are wearing a bit thin. I agree, we should give them the elbow.........(pad)

    That jokes was so bad, I'd rather watch paint dry, specifically the two coats I've just applied.

    One decent coat is enough if you pick the right material - we're still talking about painting right?

    Yeah, painting right? I am assuming the paint is fabric finish?

    I'm not a two jacket-travelling kinda guy. A thicker jumper would've sufficed. As it happened I had a hoodie on underneath so I looked a little bit like an Chechen boevik.

    Would have been more amusing if I hadn't have cocked up the first attempt at typing a message.

    Yeah.

    I did have a jacket, it just wasn't suitable. Of course, me being me I played it cool (literally), pretended I wasn't cold. They don't have Bovril in Finland, sound knowledge to have.

    I assume you were looking in the direction of The North Face? Blacks clouds overhead could have meant rain? With all that rain I bet you wanted clothing to take the Sprayway. Then back home to millets over the exciting events of the day.

    That's Bury isn't it? That's why OLM was sporting a flat cap!!

    How many hours total were you in Finland? You can't diss an entire country that quickly.
