In reply to UKC Gear: The Date is???

In reply to Bulley:

0/10 and you fell for it!

In reply to snoop6060:

To be fair, I take that 0 back! They have put quite a bit of effort into that site and its pretty funny to read.

A bit too much effort me thinks, but funny none the less.

In reply to UKC Gear:
Now I have read the site properly its brilliant. I wonder if ryanair will be pissed off or even notice another company pointing out how shit there website is?

Love the boots 99p (laces only).

In reply to snoop6060:

In reply to grubes:

Im sure O'Leary is loving it, it fits in with his usual way of getting attention.

In reply to Bulley:

In reply to UKC Gear:
I like it as I've been looking for an ultra light weight sleeping bag with no outer and no fill for a while, this seems ideal. I just hope it isn't going to be like the jamalots, I ordered mine about 2 years ago and still haven't recieved it.

In reply to UKC Gear: Love the customer service

I hate april fools but the content that Alpkit have put on their "new site" is actually pretty funny, so kudos to them.

I also like how they have just taken the www.ryanair.com website and re-skinned it. It does really show what a horrific looking website it is.
