Hi


My other half has been in desperate need for some new cufflinks and every birthday, anniversary etx he's been asking for them but I've never been able to find any decent ones. Can anyone recommend where to buy decent cufflinks up to ?80-100?


I think I've always avoided buying them because I have no idea on what constitutes as 'nice' cufflinks (im the same with ties!). He works with lots of clients and consults a lot - would something like plane or car shaped cufflinks be too novelty / tacky looking? Been looking at Paul Smith - are these OTT?

I understand it's personal preference but any constructive advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Agent Sunlover,


Paul Smith or Ted Baker are fine for that price range.


Plain and or Silver are safe as Stevo mentioned, but you can venture away from this as long as the branding is absent or very subtle i.e. avoid a Moschino look.


Your instincts on vehicle shaped are on point.

Am I the only one who loves this Henry guy?


All above is great advice...Avoid novelty...blingy....and branded unless really subtle also good advice. Also avoid too large/chunky and ones with a chain connector which are too fiddley for every day use.


Plain silver is good as it's classic...I also have some great silver squares with a simple amber stone from Portobello market which are great and were approx 40 quid.

Planes/cars can be nice but rare and I wouldn't advise you buy for someone.


Go for something plain, preferably silver and rectangular - there's a shop on Northcross Road - Rigby Mac? - that sells some nice plain ones.


Lastly you shouldn't have to pay more than ?50 unless you're buying gold

Had to be careful how you displayed the Pepe Jeans key ring as well...

Standard 70s/80s although in the 70s you got called a 'poof' fairly widely if you had an earinng full stop. Hardly any blokes had both pierced, except trannies (am I allowed that word? I don't fookin know). Silver or gold Hoop/Hoop & cross or stud were the choices.


At 30ish mine went. Unless you're Kieth Richard, it's a bit sad beyond 30 :(

    • bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac) "Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them"... green & purple mohican with accompanying buffalo 🦬 horns through the nose might do it; or simply hairstyle, skin colour, sartorial outfit... 🤔 "and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?" eyewitness reports? 😏    
    • Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know. 
    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.
