Thanks - I really need to take a close look at one I think, that just sounds like a fabulous thing to bond with over the years.

Still think my heart's with a Rocketeer though - somehow a 6 seems more fitting for over here, even if it's a V.
I'd forgotten you have this as well as the GSA. I've loved these since staring at one mouth agape as a young teenager through a showroom window in Blackpool of all places!! Never managed to try one all these years later - is it vintage but epic.... or just epic?
And against that sky, π
I always struggle for a comfortable fit too, but then I'm quite long limbed. Maybe it's to do with the likelihood of them moving during impact and abrasion? I suppose we need them to protect if the worst happens rather than be super comfy the rest of the time π€·ββοΈ?

13.12.2025 14:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thanks, really interesting - and a bit worrying too. So with the house spiders, if I need to find somewhere to relocate them I tend to use a dry leafy corner of the garden but I worry that I'm placing them in danger. Any tips, given the family pressure to move them out of the house?
13.12.2025 14:04 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Fab, thanks. I didn't recognise it without the background of a screaming family π. Interesting about the false widows, cos we get a few of them in the garage too. Is that a species competition problem, or something a bit more "murder-y".
