    Ah now, you had me until you mentioned the iPhone.

    That, I'm afraid to say, is very very wrong; the iPhone is just about the worst phone I have ever had the misfortune to hold in my hand.

    So true. V10s and V12s would also be acceptable!

    A large flat head screwdriver that can equally be used for opening things, levering, scraping, digging, as a straight edge and occasionally for screws.
    Also known in my family as a bodger.

    Mechanical watch, leather wallet, Swiss Army knife and a decent pen.

    There are others, but these first spring to mind

    Supposing a man has MIND, BODY and SOUL, the following can't do any harm
    - lovely wife
    - decent outfit
    - serious watch
    - comfortable car
    - nice dog
    - vintage straight razor and badger brush
    - Fender Stratocaster and Marshall Amp
    - Nicon camera
    - ............................... etc.

    Lacking M,B&S, nothing can help, not even a dog.

    No real man would play a weedy Stratocaster; one should play a Gibson.

    All of whom, except Chris Rea (for obvious reasons) also played (and much preferred) Gibsons.

    What's the infatuation with shoes? Only women care about shoes! It's the one thing (ok, handbags too) they irrationally collect the way men do nearly everything.

    As long as mine don't give me blisters and keep my feet dry, they'll do!

    Oh dear - I cant tick off 1 or 6... I have a chocolate vending machine and a real shotgun though, does that count?

    Also, I have quality art, but people tell me Tennis Player Scratching Her Bum should not be classed as such - how do I get a Ruling?
