It feels cold back here in the UK so i wore a pair of jeans for the first time in ages.. Hakusan Orgueil Sack Coat Dapper's Indigo Dot Devi's TMC Railman

We often ate breakfast at Monogram at the end of our street ..iced rose (or white) tea and freddo-espresso (sadly, it didn't come with a chocolate frog) was the drink of the morning. ..in the footsteps of Anthony Bourdain, one day i walked from Old Town to Bougatsa Chania, most of the city is pedestrianised so i just left the car on a dirt banking on the outskirts of the city for the week and walked everywhere.. Bougatsa dates back to Byzantine period and became popular in Crete following the Greco-Turkish war in the early 20s when a population exchange saw Greeks living in Turkey returned to Greece.. Anthony will elucidate.. It only cost me 3€ ..kid didn't fancy it so he went to the Greek Football Museum instead ..he said the owner was super-passionate about football shirts. Soon as he walked through the door the owner said "what country are you from?" and took the boy to the vintage England section, showed him photos of Pele, Maradona and Cruyff wearing shirts then let him hold the actual shirt in the photo .. lots of amazing donations in here. ..again, gmaps was great because i could just pin the boy coordinates and say.. "i'm eating lunch here do you want to join me" ? This was Dominico's .. the only hand rolled gelato on the island ..mixing ..it's stainless steel with liquid nitrogen underneath ..spreading, i had espresso (with a shot of espresso) Sarah had pistachio ..offspring had strawberry and mango with coconut milk and yogurt base ..rolling ..a couple of days before we left, his friend Oli turned up.. we didn't see much of them for the last 2 days. fin.

Have you missed me?.. We've been visiting Crete so get yourself comfy for a mega-post I picked up this Suzuki Ignis Hybrid in the airport.. small cars rule here, the last thing you want driving through villages on narrow roads or passing a local in a battered old pick-up truck on a mountain pass is a big-ass car.. It wasn't as enjoyable to drive as the Fiat's i've driven around Italy, but decent enough. This is the first year i've had a modern smartphone.. google maps is just a revelation for travelling! .. the places where we stay are often on "unnamed roads" which i can't type that into the Nav.. additional confusion with the Greek alphabet with their Pi, Omega and upside down f'kin triangles!! .. it's more like a maths equation ..I dropped a pin on google maps and it took me straight there.. our house was here. ..before we left, I was trying to build a gmaps itinerary of addresses so i didn't have to worry about typing confusing shit in while i was there. I was struggling with one aspect so I called the offspring over (he types with both thumbs simultaneously) .. he said, and I quote “Oh my god, you’re such a fucking boomer" (I’m actually Gen-X) "give it to me” .. 10 seconds later and he’d sorted it Then he said “this is an impression of you trying to use your phone“ and started repeatedly poking it with his index finger.. .. Just wait till he wants his laptop fixing! This is our first house in Kalami* (more of that later) nestled in the trees on the outskirts of Kalyves ..the view from our balcony, the cicadas were deafening! .. the mantis were in their millions! The first night we drove into Kalyves looking for somewhere to eat.. it's a very traditional Cretan village, i spotted some tables and they invited us in, we were starving having not eaten since leaving the house at 6am.. we ordered lots of food, there was just us, a large Greek family and a young Greek couple having a romantic evening meal. A small band set up, a guy on keyboards, a guy on guitar and a guy on bouzouki, i thought 'Ow! i hope this isn't going to be some tourist shit' but i couldn't have been more wrong, it was very traditional Greek, folks were taking turns to sing songs, even the restaurant staff came out for a sing. ..after a couple of hours Sarah said 'i wish they'd clear our table' so eventually, i asked for the bill, at which point they cleared the plates immediately and brought out a small vase of ice-cold Raki and 3x shot glasses.. we obviously didn't know the etiquette. Kid was like, "Hellooo!!" I've never really liked Raki but this village Raki was different, no aniseed flavour, made with herbs.. when it was gone, they brought out another bottle and 3x free desserts.. The Greek dancing started, just the old fellas then the younger women joined in.. i was applauding at the end of one song.. an old timer came over and said "i'm glad you liked it, our timing was a bit out, the old folks dance a different style to the younger folks" .. What the!? .. I'd drunk 2x 500ml Mythos and 9x shots of Raki.. like i'm going to understand the intrinsic nature of Greek dancing.. We had to leave to car and walk home through the dirt.. we got home at 2.30am.. having walked off the alcohol, the boy and i went night swimming. Deserves a quiet night This is another village where we ate called Aptera, every single meal in the villages ends with lots of free Raki ..nice view of the mountains Hello I wanted to explore this abandoned village while we were in *Kalami.. it's not mapped so i spent hours searching satellite images https://filmfreeway.com/1385354 ..eventually i found the coordinates on a Greek hiking forum, it was a different 'Kalami' at the other side of the island .. the fk! no wonder the sat-nav doesn't work properly. .. 5 days later we moved on from the peace and tranquility of Kalami and i drove to our next destination on the outskirts of Chania Old Town. We rented this fancy-ass house for 5 days (it cost more to rent this place for one night than the previous place cost for all 5 nights).. top balcony was the doors from our living space and the bottom balcony was the doors from the front bedrooms. Kitchen.. ..out of the doors was the roof terrace to the top right you can just see a minaret which rang a bell around 6pm.. ..it slept 8 ..The street view below our balcony Chania is a mix of Venetian and Turkish with traditional and modern architecture, old town has historic monument status.. it's built.. according to the archaeological research, on the ruins of ancient Kydonia, Kydonians are supposed to be a pre-Hellenic tribe. During the ancient period (3.000-2.800 B.C.) the old harbor was used by Minoans, as a crossroad of all five continents.. it was conquered many times during the past by Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Turks, Hebrews, Egyptians, and Arabs, till the end of the 19th century, when it was liberated... so a good mix. The city comes alive at 11am and goes to sleep at 4am.. (my teenagers preferred hours) i took these photos at 10.08am and the streets are still deserted. ..harbour panorama This was part of Chania Film Festival, it was an exhibition of album artwork ..crumbly old Cretan mixed with urban hip. ..street market ..herbs ..A yawning cat photo which the boy took featuring my Dapper's shirt, Supreme shorts and Nike 78 Elite ..tourist shot of the lighthouse at sunset More Later...

It looks fucking awesome Congratulations!

You could have just looked at a pair from your own collection...... Oh no forget that

Considering how many varieties there are^.. i'm surprised Jett Rink has slipped us by I know, it's only a matter of time before the hosting becomes unsupported.. i'm tempted to start backing it up for posterity It's too good to lose..

I had to scoure the 4 corners of the interwebz ! http://jeanspavilion.web.fc2.com/ http://jeanspavilion.web.fc2.com/indexrepricamenu.htm The layout alone brings back such happy memories

Thanks B.. i've sorted it. I've just managed to trigger the 'block response' again.. copy/paste of the image triggers it.. i got the image to work in the Unknown thread by screen grabbing it instead.

Testing.. NOS JETEXAS https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=t1187027268 edit- it says submitting a certain word of phrase could trigger it

What have i done to offend y'all ..i mean, apart from that? @Maynard Friedman @beautiful_FrEaK @Broark I'm posting one image and a link to Zen Market but the forum keeps blocking me?

My kid bought it for his mums birthday.. he spotted them on TikTok, i think it's following on from the Dubai chocolate trend with the green pistachio cream..albeit, this^^ is nicer.

Yep, ‘Denim Gallery’ survived up to around 4 or 5yrs ago, coleslaw posted a link to it earlier in this thread, but it’s dead now .. it was one of the first sites i used to use as source material for searching out unknown brands.

Proper old school denimheads too @beautiful_FrEaK .. there is mention of meeting Takashi on the subway from 'Takashi's Denim Gallery' ..and mention of 'Jeans Pavillion' .. i'll have a more in depth read tomorrow.. where did you pull that from? edit- looking at the url .. ryu ..? is that Ryu who used to post here with the dragon type avatar ?

Oooh! ..awesome I've not seen the JD, the JETEXAS or these 鐘馗堂　大和 .. which look pretty interesting

All i can offer for this weeks thread contribution is Japanese candy's Peach juice gummies Banana / Chocolate Miniture strawberry cheesecake Jigglypuff peach soda 2x sticks of gum.. one turns your tongue black, the other turns it red and some non Japanese angel hair chocolate

Don’t accept a Scottish fiver they’re only worth 3 quid

It's all the crazy instagramers, they want to park as near to the peak as possible, take a selfie and go home, like they've accomplished something.. my neighbours have been living in a van out there, they've said there has been an increase in parking tickets, to dissuade them. I like it when you see a car club out on a Peak District run out.. a convoy of Impreza WRX's for instance. The best car is always at the front, the worst at the back.. 40 something yr old men with 17yr old girlfriends.. alas, 40yr old women don't tend to hang out in B&Q car park on Friday and Saturday nights so their options of finding an age appropriate partner are limited.

I've just got back from the Peaks.. you're right, there are a lot more tourists out today, it's sign it's the school holidays. Good and bad experience for me.. the bad part was, i had an argument with a National Park (i thought he was more of a national socialist tbh) Ranger about whether or not i should be riding where i was riding.. a fat rambler joined in taking his side.. i showed them on my phone that i was indeed right.. they said, "ah, but that's the internet.. it was probably written by a spotty teenager".. well that's where you're wrong, i can tell you who wrote it.. it was Derbyshire County Council .. F'kin little Hitlers! The good part was.. i was so annoyed, i pedaled faster to get it out of my system and did a PB for the route Where did you get the parking ticket @MJF9 ?

Looks wonderful MJ! It's not gentrification.. it's always been a fancy-pants neighbourhood.. back in the late Victorian period, wealthy steel barons (the finance-bros of their era) fled the pollution of the east-end seeking out the fresh air of the Peak District.. building their houses in the S10 / S11 districts.. Old photos show kids walking to school nr Sharrow Vale in top hat and tails.. even 20yrs ago, S10 was still considered one of the most affluent postcodes outside Kensington and Chelsea. Regarding the accent.. My immediate neighbours are from Hackney, Lowestoft, Belper, Devon, Sydney, Taiwan and Holland.. so not many earthy Sheffield accents there .. the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys lived just a stones throw from where you're eating your sandwiches.. so entirely faux-Sheffield accent Sadly i'm not one of the winners from all this postcode-prosperity.. when i bought my first house.. i desperately wanted to get out of Sheff.. it was just depressing, most of my old friends had either died, been incarcerated or sectioned due to the heroin boom of the post rave years.. We could have bought the tiny house we live in now for less money than the massive barn conversion we bought out in the sticks.. When our boy came along.. he would walk to his junior school through the farm across the street, stroking lambs enroute, it was idyllic but having been to a god-awful secondary school myself, i was determined to send my kid to a great secondary.. which meant moving back into Sheff and into S10 / S11.. but after the austerity of the Cameron / Osborne years a lot of house prices stagnated, ours included.. it took us 4yrs to sell it, we had 8 viewing during that time, ..i had to drop the price by £70k to secure a sale.. Austerity had no effect on the middle-class folks of S11 which meant the house we bought had 130 viewings in the first week and i had to pay £17k over the asking price.. so i was already £87k down before we moved in .. with Sarah's health issues, she wouldn't have been able to get a mortgage so i had to use my savings to pay off the old mortgage and start a new one from scratch under my name.. which is why i'm currently at work on a Saturday afternoon.. i'm overpaying like a mofo tho!.. i'm equally determined to pay it off while i'm in my 50s ..

Are you still after a 60/40 mountain parka @julian-wolf ? Check this out.. might be one size too small.
