My chihuahua would attack any bear that came near. Whether the bear is coated or not. I can't let that happen....you feed chihuahuas to black bears?
brilliant!
do you coat them in PB first?

So true... My apologies to all the chihuahuas on The Porch...unless you're a chihuahua.
My friend, who had recommended the tailor, was mortified, and demanded it be replaced. Fortunately, his waistcoat (which I paid for too) fitted, as he is the one getting married after all. There's no time for me to get another made before Saturday, and I don't think I fancy another three half-days off work, darn thing has cost me enough already. Think I'll get one off the peg next time, so much for 'made-to-measure' 
At least you didn't get this guy LoLAbout a month ago, a friend of mine, who is getting married this Saturday, told me he was having a new waistcoat made, and suggested I get one made too. So, a week or so later, we went to be measured. A week after that we went for a fitting. The tailor works from home, and lives in a rather awkward place to get to, so each visit cost me half a day's work. We went to pick up our waistcoats today. I had asked for one in a charcoal tweed, full back, 4 pockets, and notched lapels, and it was exactly what I had asked for - except it is a good 4 inches short at the front (and a bit tight in the chest)!
That's a real bugger, Jack!About a month ago, a friend of mine, who is getting married this Saturday, told me he was having a new waistcoat made, and suggested I get one made too.

One caveat - If you have a few coons in the vicinity - fuhgeddaboudit

Cad!
I thought about that too. The coons here would gobble it up before the deer got a chance at it.One caveat - If you have a few coons in the vicinity - fuhgeddaboudit
Yeah really the PB thing usually won't last more than a few days and often times it will be clean after the first night. I just like putting out a treat mostly.
Sometimes, factory made knives ARE better than Custom too
That's a real bugger, Jack!
You can tell he's a criminal type.....he's buttoned up the last button on his waistcoat
That'll do it!Yeah, perhaps that's the solution Dave, I'll just pull my trousers up to my chest!
That'll do it!
I'm definitely with the old guys on that! Yes, I've seen it on telly here, stilted and artificial I thought.
BUT some very cool caps and clothes on view
Probably more realistic than the thought of skinny pretty-boy Tommy Shelby storming German trenches!
