when i first started as a messenger i was staying with my girlfriend in twickenham and would commute in by train one friday night i got hammered in soho and had to catch the last train back, feeling a little queezy on a train that the windows didnt open yep, puked in my messenger bag
i used the same black timbuk for about 4 years then my last summer i had to wash it coz it smelt so bad and was starting to 'chalk' from all the salt that id sweated into it even after 1 hour of scrubbing and never got rid of the smell
suck spunkfarts..........it seems that you are deficient in most areas..........bombing, intelligence, humour and now memory have been proven upto present

I used to show dogs, and the way we would get them to not smell like wet dogs was to use a spray bottle of one part anti-septic mouth wash and two parts water. Years later I would use the same spray bottle on my dreads instead of showering.
I reckon it would take the wet smell out of a courier bag as well.
sorry, i own a real bag (under the weather), not a royal mail bag, muppet. i think your orange evening standard bag would be alright in the wash, though.
tofu, sorry mate no disrepect, i started out with an evening standard bag when i was 12 when i had a paper round, then a royal mail bag 14 yrs ago when i was a muppet, then moved onto timbuk hyperlon lined bags, which once in the washing machine cracked the lining making it non water proof, so im just talking about my experience so i dont know what you gents are using these days, maybe technology has gone past me.....; ) but nothing beats the essential black bin liner waterproofing if you are that cosciencious about your POB.............am i a muppet?
overdose, i dont belive you clean anything unless its to hide the evidence
Greg don't worry about disrespecting Tofu, he's in Toronto whats he gonna do?
You are dead right about the bin bag, although cyclone's clear, thick bags are even better (one thing they still do best), get people to drop in and lift out their packages and your soggy gloves needn't even soil them.
Washing machine did cross my mind but I have a little padlock with no key and a cog on my bag.
bill, i never had my tongue far enuf up eriks 'arris to ever get a Zo bag, and im pretty sure that most other non brown nosing couriers never had the chance to even get a sniff of a real Zo bag on our modest wages so are you saying that you arent still sporting your "1942 alley cat winner" timbuk? i thought you must sleep with it coz that was the last time you won a race..........hahahahahh....xxxxxxxx
josh, my first was really a chichester observer bag, proper rural boy
No, it was the rainbow Zo I lost when I was alseep in Shoreditch Churchyard, not the T2. I would gladly trade the T2 for a rainbow Zo, tho. Just in case anyone here has one...
