Its 5:30 am and i’m just up to go to the car boots. I now have to walk 7 miles to Oldham to get to the first then I walk another 3 miles to the next one. After that I have a return walk of 9 miles with a load.
Every Sunday I have to do this.

i did that one by the train station a few week ago and got a few nice bits n bobs. its abit harder to find stuff in brighton as everyone knows what they got and theres alot more dealers in brighton. i met a lad on there who had found a few good records he was a hip hop dj, not for long though coz he was also at the start of a major smack habit.

June 29, 2008 at 9:05 pm #1175391Hahahaha, that things amazing, who the hell would eat something thats come out of that?!

so the easicook pressure cooker was a very short lived thing and there very very rare. if you find one you’ve got youreself a rare piece of kitchenalia thats worth a few quid.

June 30, 2008 at 9:39 pm #1175392Yeah when you put it like that, microwves are pretty horrible things too. If I hadn’t seen a microwave before and someone said do you wanna cook you dinner in that thing that makes wierd noises with flashing lights comin out of it id be like ‘no thanks mate’. All a bit space age if you ask me!
