Hi, I travel a lot overseas with work and meet folks in my profession a lot. They are quite senior, and there is a culture of giving small gifts.

I'd like to change it up by giving flies that I've made in some kind of simple display. It would need to let a full hackle stay at its busiest, rather than pressing it between plastic. Something simple and repeatable would be good.

Are there any options for a wooden disc with a hole/slot to wire or glue a fly into? That way I could get the disc engraved with a note.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi, we are thinking of building with GJ Gardner Wellington. Has anyone here built with them? How was it?

I have a ticket to Homegrown this afternoon but I'm too sick to leave the house. I'm gutted to miss out on Shihad's last ever show, but nobody needs me coughing or dripping on them.

Fuck my life my head hurts.

It cost me $190, but I'll let it go for $120.

Hey Caps fans, I'm at my first game in 2 years after moving back overseas. Can anyone tell me:

1. Who throws punches for us now?
2. Does Roy know where the puck goes when he's in opposition territory?
3. When beer at Cap One needed me to get a mortgage?
4. Is it possible to tend goal without a tache?
5. Did Protas get bigger or did I get closer seats?
6. Was that the slowest moving puck to ever cross our goal?

I don't know if recent events change things, but I couldn't help wondering if this gives a Hillary campaign the chance to rise from the dead?

The fact that he has been dead for 16 years probably counts against him, but he could knock another bugger off.

What do you think?

I have a Gold ticket for a friend who can't make it. First in gets it.

Hey diehard Phoenix fans. Tonight, you get the superpower of a massive group of bandeagoners and fair weather fans behind you. That includes me.

How do you harness this superpower to manaaki you, rather than just cheering when the home team gets the ball and booing opposition possession? (Booing is the lamest form of sports fandom)

What are your chants? Who are your impact players? Who should we be screaming for off the bench if we are 1-0 don at 75 minutes? Who in the opposition played dirty at some point, and needs to be reminded of that? When do I take my shirt off?

Here's my jacket. It's pretty much unplanned apart from the studs. I've added the patches organically as I've seen bands live. I've kept some space on the back - probably for Maiden and Metallica - but may change that if I see a show that goes hard enough.

Thanks to the sub for inspiration and ideas. Especially the guy who posted a link to stud patterns.
