tho it did remind me of those guys that make loads of things out of duct tape http://www.ducti.co.uk/

As luck would have it i found a roll of duct tape in the cupboard and this website! http://www.rpi-polymath.com/ducttape...allet.html#two

Thats my day sorted!

I use these - great for keeping out icy wind.

I'm still staying away from full booties because I refuse to acknowledge the fact that the weather is shit enough to require them!

What some people will pay 15 quid for a wallet made out of ducktape!? 15 quid for any wallet sounds steep to me let alone one made of ducttape. If was paying 15 quid for a wallet I would want to know at least one animal had died in it's production.

I have a 48 panel wallet. They guarantee at least one cow for each panel. It's great!
It's stitched with baby seal skin.

making duct tape wallets is really easy, mine is and iv had it for about 2 and a half years, plus you can attach an extr layer on the back just incase you need some duct tape anytime soon. plus they are really good for cheap birthday presents.

full booties, cobber.

because my shoes have mesh and nowt much else, the booties were free and I can tuck my trousers into them.

TheBrick(Tommy) · 26th February 2008

Yeah you tell your self that RPM.

RPM · 26th February 2008

I tell myself lots of things, Tommy.

mainly to ignore the voices..

hippy · 26th February 2008

Did you check the kettle at your place?

RPM · 26th February 2008
