Has anyone got/looked at the cotton taper chinos for this season?

Any comments? Particularly on the fit, how much of a taper are we talking?

The regular fit UJ jeans are up on the UK site:

Are these the skinny ones?

They're not marked as UJ but they seem to match the description.

My flatmate uses the washing machine/dryer pretty much every night, then goes out in the morning and leaves all the stuff in there. In the evening that load gets taken out and another instantly put in.

I hate this shit for two primary reasons. Firstly, I can't get near the fucking washing machine to do my laundry most of the time. Secondly, the dryer makes a fucking loud and horrible noise that keeps me up at night. I'm a pretty light sleeper and have chronic problems getting a decent amount of sleep as it is without this dryer fucking me up all the time.

It's always at least a half, usually a full, load of washing too. Who needs to wash that much shit every day!?

More often than not it gets to lunchtime and I regret having wasted my morning.

Today is no exception.

trickers?

damn. heard they take forever to break in

Yep, Trickers. They certainly feel as though they'll be tough to break in; the leather is thick and damn stiff.

I'm liking the general public cameo concept going on today.

Why don't exchange for the same UK7.5, but with size 6 width?

After wearing them around the house a little this afternoon and this evening they feel a lot better, in fact, they feel very comfortable. Maybe it was just the stiffness of the leather at first that had me concerned. A UK8 would probably be too big. Can you get Stows in a 6 width? I've only seen them around in the 5 fitting.

I hate not being able to get to sleep. Haven't had a good night's sleep in nearly two weeks now, and I'm becoming more and more of an irritable/miserable bastard during the day as a result.

Coincidentally, someone I know also thought Equatorial Guinea was in South America.

I got my Tricker's Stows in the post today. Went for Espresso Burnished with a dainite sole.

I went down a half size to a UK7.5, and while the length is perfect, I feel they are a touch snug in terms of width. I'm not sure if I should go up to an 8 though and risk them being too long. Any thoughts?

For once it's actually sunny here.

I've never fainted/blacked out.

I've (still) never read Ulysses (despite the fact I've owned a copy for years now).

I've never seen any of the American Pie films, and I hope never to see any of them.

I've never been arrested.

I've never had a speeding ticket.

I've never bought a lottery ticket.

These are just some things of the top of my head. I'm not sure how vital any of them are to my overall life experience.

Edit: I would like to/intend to read Ulysses, though.

I have a dark navy denim shirt that I realise I don't want any more. It's size S, never worn with tags still attached, if anyone wants it for retail (£25) plus shipping, shoot me a pm.

I'm about to order a pair of Tricker's Stows and I just can't decide on the colour. I'm torn between Acorn Antique (top) and Espresso Burnished (bottom). I'm drawn more towards the Espresso Burnished, but I'm concerned they'll be too dark and look like black boots half the time. Has anyone seen this colour in person?

I've ruled out black as I already have a pair of black boots, and also Marron Antique as I have a pair of brogues in a similar colour already. There is a burgundy version that is also available but I'm not sure I'm keen on it.

Hangovers. Seriously, fuck hangovers. I remember years ago when I was eighteen and could drink as much as I wanted without getting a hangover the next morning.

Other associated shit I hate:

The realisation that those heady hangover free days are long gone.

The postman delivering stuff on a Saturday way earlier than he would normally on a weekday thus waking me up and exacerbating the aforementioned hangover.

If I could get a 31 I'd probably go for it. The problem is that I'd have to order from the UK webstore, which only has trouser sizes going up in increments of two. I suppose I could get the 32s to try and send them back if they don't work but, like you say, I figure they'd be too baggy to match the blazer.

I didn't realise how slim the trousers actually were. I got some of the grey flannel ones today in a size 30 (my regular size) and they are very slim in the top block and thighs. I mean, they fit but it just doesn't really seem right for a suit trouser to be this slim if you know what I mean. I'm not sure if I should consider a 32.

Considering the amount of work I have to do tomorrow, it was probably a bad idea for me to get drunk tonight.

Bollocks.

I dated one of those for a while a few years back; constant drama and a pain in the arse from start to finish.

You've definitely got the right idea only going in for something casual.

Met this girl for lunch yesterday, she says she can't stay too long as she's meeting some friends later. She's all flirty with me and complimentary, chats about her clit piercing, tells me I have to come stay at hers soon (she lives far away), tells me I have to come surfing with her and that if I get hypothermia she knows how to deal with it (get us both naked and jump in to bed with me) etc etc etc. Then when it comes to time for her to meet one of her friends, says "Oh, just so you know, I'm kinda dating him". Great, thanks for telling me that. Du did not look impressed to meet me, lol.

This sounds pretty fucked up. She sounds like a massive cock tease. I don't mean to cause offence if she's a good friend of yours, it's just how it comes across from the point of view of an objective observer.
