Catalogues

[Ludwig]

Do you get any catalogues sent to you and you have a favourite catalogue? Catalogues I have got at the moment are the Axminster tools, Viking, Tool Station and Great Art to name but a few and some some I get sent to me on a regular basis. Some are really thick and really fascinating. I don't know if there are any cycling catalogues but there is a cycling section in the Argos catalogue. But the cost of producing catalogues, the printing and paper and ink and doing all the photography and sending them out must cost a fortune but I guess they must think its worthwhile. Can't hang around here because I have some serious catalogue reading to do, currently working my way through the router bit section of the Axminster catalogue. I was looking for a forster bit and there is a dizzying array of forster typebits which are things for drilling large diameter holes in wood.
In the great art catalogue there is a pastel set for £750 and a single paint brush for over £300.
Must go because I have some serious castalogues to read

I receive a thomann catalogue ( thick brochure ) every few weeks, thomann are a big musical instrument retailer in Germany.
Despite the poor pound/euro exchange rate there are some great deals available

Its a shame the goverment haven't thought to tax catalogues like they do petrol, the harm all the colour printing etc etc must do will be far in excess of car polution.

It seems everytime that a clothes company alters a price they send out a new catalogue I forget which group it is but they send out the identical catalogue under maybe six or seven differant company names so the same person can end up with 6 identical catalogues bar the front cover!!

I get a Cotton Traders catalogue every six weeks or so.
It goes straight in the bin.
I actually order stuff from them reasonably often, but always via the website.

Bear-Family catalogue, German record label, mainly country, rock and roll and the like. Quality stuff. I never buy direct from their website though as it's such a pain to use - German efficiency mein arsch!

I'm glad I don't get that one - it would bankrupt me! Bear family is the crack cocaine of record labels.

Betterware or Lakeland Plastics... they have so many WTF products. Hands up who needs a tea bag squeezer!

You can always go to bear-family.de - check out the new Buck Owens 8 CD set, only €157!

Go on, you know you want to...

Isn't that what the Trangia pan gripper was designed to do as a secondary function? Mine has a tanin coating that masks the underlying aluminium.

I used to spend hours with my nose stuck in the Radio Spares catalogue.
