Jack Wolfskin Get Back

Advantages: Stops your other foot getting muddy.
Disadvantages: It gets muddy.

...Unfortunately I seem to have dirty hobbies. By that I don`t mean disgusting or kinkiy, just dirty as in mud. Not that much mud really, just muddy boots (usually). I often end up with muddy wellies or riding boots and to remove them I used to either get the door step muddy by using that or get my clean foot or slipper muddy by removing the remaining one when you have used your other foot for the first one. Some clever person obviously realised that boots can be difficult to remove if they are tight around the calf and don`t have a zip and invented the boot jack. What is a Boot Jack? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A boot jack is a clever little device designed to make the removal of such boots much easier.

...I realise that I have already written a review on riding gloves, but they were completely different gloves so I will make the reivew different from the other. It is nice to have a selection of gloves to enable you to make a choice depending on what you are going to use them for and of course, what mood you are in.

...Creaking away in my back passage. I am in the habit of going to the gym of an evening and providing the tube is running properly I can get home, make Boyf dinner (trust me, it's safer that way), get changed and scoot off down the Lloyd. Of course, several evenings of 'signal failure' annoyed me to the point that I decided to buy myself some kind of exercise gadget to use when the Underground decided to misbehave. My criteria for this as yet not-sure-what-to-get gadget was that it must be :- 1) Compact. 2) Easy to store (who wants an assembled cross-trainer / bike in their living room all the time?). 3) Reasonably priced. I did buy myself an exercise DVD but it's still in the wrapper, it's a Nell McAndrew one and Boyf said that he'd watch it for me to see if it was any good. I strongly suspect his motives. After...
