[15:33] <penguin42> if it's in Dublin it's probably a few hours from here
[15:33] <daftykins> oh that reminds me, i was gonna try and scope out a new rain jacket whilst here... at some kinda outdoor shop i can find

[15:34] <daftykins> ah har
[15:35] <daftykins> i have a nice North Face one but one layer over the shoulders has broken down and peeled away, so i just get soaked on there now
[15:43] <penguin42> I ordered the XL, even though I'm only M-L - and I'd still like them longer
[15:58] <penguin42> some could say I just want to cover my arse, which is true for the rain we get here
[16:05] <daftykins> heh
