What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[B-Man2]

We had a cold snap today with a very chilly wind. I went out this morning with my BR B-15C. Figured this is likely the last time I will wear it until late Fall.

Becoming a pattern of late, El Cheapo and MASH A-10s.

Funnily enough I was in the supermarket and an air force guy (we have a major fighter base here) came up to me and said (in Norwegian) "Nice old A-2 jacket".

Steve I just learned Keith Richards's prized guitar is named Micawber, any coincidence? It's quite an unusual name (word?)

I know nothing about Kieth Richard's guitar. However, Micawber is a character in the novel David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. The character was said to be based on the author's own father who was always hard up for money and in debt. Wilkins Micawber's overriding belief and expectations are that "something will always turn up" ..and I suppose I live by that maxim too.

You beat me to it. I love most of Dickens works and have read quite a bit about the man himself ...I also like wearing top hats and tailcoats but that is a whole different story

"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery"
