Pretentious nobbery

[Gunk]

Back to footwear, do Dune Suede boots count as further nobbery or are they just cool,

Oh and BTW I've never owned a pair of 'trainers'

Shoes count, coming from Northampton I have a weakness for posh shoes, I’m currently sporting a pair of Crocket & Jones suede boots.

My dear other half has just brought home a pizza-cutter. It's all shiny steel and from Tesco (which I never visit). I've never owned one before, so I'm feeling quite pretentious (wot's wrong wiv a knife?).

In fact you don't have much going for you at all. Have you even got a brain?

Nasty nasty

2 pairs of italian made zamberlan gortex walking boots. Best Italian leather money can buy. You peasants could never afford them.....maybe the present ones, which are cheaper because they have to compete with the crap you lot buy. One pair has been resoled 3 or more times.
PS bought second on Ebay as I am to tight to pay the original price!

A hand made case pen knife £40. Although pen knives can cost £1000s so not that pretentious!

Does this count?

A pizza cutter is handy if you like a pizza the size of a dustbin lid.

Oh I just thought 2 Santos travelmasters. Alas again bought on Ebay. First one receipts supplied £3300 second the same bike with lots of extras. Both cost £1300. So cheap pretentious/posh.

Also a half price £ shop one does the job just as well. Although you could use my pretentious £40 case pen knife.

Piquadro leather attaché case with retractable handles and carrying strap

Expensive but I use it all the time I'm going to meetings and just need an A4 pad, pens etc

Used to be a briefcase guy when i was younger but this is much cooler

Drago flask is a poor man's flask anyone could afford a cheapo like that.

This pile of shite does not even come with a cup. It does have carrying handle though

It is also leak proof....really that's extra, you don't get with other flasks?
Also dish washer safe.....how would a dish washer clean the inside?
Also BPA free.... no idea
And finally...car cup compatible
But no cup to pour into.
I except no responsibility for the purchase, nob head brother bought it for me. Also bought me a pair of hunter wellies Brill......not. Canadian hunters with an astonishing amount of insulation

Can't find the boots this is the insulation. He has the common sense of a doughnut

Do you own an item that is a blatant piece of pretentious nobbery?

A coffee machine modelled on the Sizewell B reactor?

A turntable manufactured by NASA for missions to pluto, with a stylus made from a virgins fingernail?

An Apple XXXVIX mobile phone in a custom case, plated with gold from Steve Jobs teeth?

Then this is the thread to tell us all about it.

Being such a down to earth ruffty tuffty sort there's not much jn the Drago household that fits the bill, but I did find one item. Being the Desperate Dan lookalike that I am I can't just have a Thermos or a cheap flask from Poundland. No, a stainless steel behemoth, made in America by rough men with names like Lance and Brad, from a design that has remained more or less unchanged in 107 years, with a lifetime guarantee, a design so long lived that pre war examples are still in daily use 4 generations on from their original owner. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the Stanley vacuum flask:
