    Only wearing Lycra if you’re well-endowed, otherwise you’ll look like a little prick

    Seems it’s a limited edition version of Southern Comfort and Aitch isn’t the annoying one from Steps but a rapper from Manchester

    Just saw this in Sainsbury’s, I’ve never heard of it before!

    They spent it all on coke and child maintenance payments and are now struggling to afford to bring up kids from their second marriages!

    BBC is decentralised with regional offices but the main hubs are in London and Salford. Just did a quick poll around some friends who have bikes and confirmed that mid-life crisis makes do pay upwards of £7k. A couple of mates who actually own this type of bike didn’t comment so I don’t know how much they paid BUT they would definitely baulk at spending £200+ on a pair of jeans 😆 High paying presenters and execs aside, typical media jobs don’t pay anything like they did 20-30 years ago. Most people will earn a fraction of what was available then, so I believe @ATWM is right. It’s the finance bros who generally have the most spending power.

    Shows how much out of the loop I am but £10k is an extreme example in anyone’s books and shows how futile this whole thing can become. Also, Londoner’s don’t necessarily have much more disposable cash as there’s a lot of poverty here and for those of us fortunate enough to buy a property, we pay much higher prices than (most of) the rest of the country.

    Unless you’re a serious athlete or need specialist equipment, it doesn’t matter much. So many (usually men) are sucked into this world as part of their mid-life crisis - they have a bit of spare cash and can afford a £3k bike that they’ll never use to anything like its potential but do it anyway. I don’t have a bike anymore but if I decided to purchase one, I’d buy something cheap and ride it for a year to understand what, if any, sort of upgrade I’d want/need. In London so many bikes are stolen and, in certain ‘hotspot’ areas, like the Regents Park Outer Circle, riders of expensive bikes are frequently violently bike jacked by criminal gangs on mopeds.

    I used to go drinking on Lower Marsh years ago, in a seedy boozer called The Camel iirc. EDIT: It was called The Walrus Social!

    Enjoying The Cut and Lower Marsh I see!

    My Mitsubishi was an A6M Zero
  12. Maynard Friedman
    They seem pretty good. Buy them, wear ‘em in a bit and report back!

    ^ That’s what she said!

    I used to have a Mitsubishi too but it was stolen so I threw the key fobs away. I didn’t think they were that nice.

    Good tales from good times la… But about that shirt, alas, I think @Sansome1877 dug that up long ago on a secret visit to Blighty and sold it on to Heller’s Cafe for a vast sum, splitting the proceeds with Phil Redmond who tipped him off.

    No, it’s working for your local H2O supplier - in your case I assume that’s Yorkshire Water.

    ^ Although if he wore one of his usual pairs whilst being water boarded, the process may create some interesting artificial distressing to his jeans. As well as quite a bit of distress to his person…

    The Corkhills - probably a style inspiration to a young @MJF9

    I wouldn’t buy them but I don’t think it’s ‘cheating’ unless you’re trying to sneakily use them in a contest and pass off the ‘wear’ as your own. Wearing denim in general isn’t a competitive thing so the idea of ‘cheating’ doesn’t make sense, it’s about what you like or don’t like.

    So not only are Japanese jean manufacturers repro’ing old Levi’s, now Japanese denim mills are repro’ing Cone’s business decisions!

    It’s a lovely jacket and the fact it used to belong to Ronaldo makes it even more special!

    Alternatively, our Betty is looking at Neal’s grail jeans and denim jacket from a different perspective, mistaking him for an unemployed waster, spending all his universal credit on luxury build your own Morrison’s pizzas. She considers him a potential excellent socio-demographic match and also a bit devil-may-care exciting.

    My first draft had her as Tracy! Old episodes of Coronation Street influenced my final choice though, especially as @MJF9’s bit on the side is Mavis.
  24. Maynard Friedman
    You and Betty (or whatever her name is - and apologies to anyone with an important female in their life who shares that name) from Morrison’s can go on a double date with @MJF9 and Mavis and talk denim details, what a lovely pair of arcs you boys have and how they’d love to checkout your selvedge fly plackets, etc. Mavis and Betty might even know each other!
