An improbable tale from Mr Moon

You may have heard of the apocryphal "black dog" story, Dear Reader, where some schmuck provides the unlikley explanation that the vehicle accident he was involved in was the result of having to swerve to avoid some stray animal on the road (in this case that pesky black dog).

Well, I never really believed that people actually would try this exceptionally lame-sounding excuse out.

Until now.

In the the new, out with the old...

So, Dear Reader, you might recall I was feeling a little hurt because I had been described as 'rough-looking'... Well, turns out he might have been right!

You see, one of my favourite pieces of kit is my 5.11 Tactical Covert Vest which allows me to cram all kinds of toys tools into its myriad pockets.

The problem is that this has been my favourite piece of kit for almost 8 years and it was starting to look decidedly shabby. Worse, holes were appearing and things had a tendency to just fall out.

Um, yeah, I really was that rough-looking guy.
