  1. Hi brains trust , I bought an old Art Deco dance hall a few years ago that I am going to move into soon as a residence and am looking for some insperation to remodel .

    ATM it is built on three boundaries so I can't have Windows except on the front and on any additional floor that is added and skylights .

    so would like recommendations for sites to look at .

    cheers .

  2. CYCLING TOURISTS  , now that I have you're attention , am going do do a cycling holiday late this year or early next year with my brother who is working in Tokyo who will take some time off . So what would be nice is not only some meal recommendations but maybe some drinking company and share some adventure stories . Anyway direction not known yet and could involve a train/ferry journey so am open to suggestions that I can correlate with what my brothers interested in doing as he will be on the ground and have a better lay of the land .

    cheers and thanks for reading .

    Hey Everyone,

    I'm taking a trip to Japan in April, Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka. Is there a particular samurai store that's best to visit? I was thinking of going to the kyoto store since it's close to my hotel but wasn't sure if there was a better one to check out along the way. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Also hoping the 20th anniversary S526XX are available by that time too to try them in person

    This is something I'd be interested in knowing also as I'll be visiting my brother who will be doing a two year stint in Japan and while I'm there might as well take the plunge on some local denim that shipping and sizing has restricted me from buying in the past .

    On Hamilton - I really like them. I prefer their khaki designs, especially the non date, over similar priced seikos. Yes it’s part of a bigger conglomerate - but that’s just the reality of the watch buisiness. At least they use their scale to deliver good value to customer (khaki models can be had retail for £250ish), other companies use the same scale to push up margins and pretend they make ‘luxury’. So overall good value I think.

    I have the Hamilton khaki the date model that I use for work and travel as it has the 24 hour which is useful when traveling . My only gripe with it is that as the leather watchband has worn out an original replacement is pricing dearer than the initial watch price , I have found a guy in London that does a close replica that I'll purchase in the near future . 

  5. So even though it's been announced I'm still having trouble finding info like are they button fly or zipper , boot leg , straight ,  and a fit picture as I'm not familiar with the 888 .

    I'm not allowed to say anything just yet :ph34r:

    Can you at least say what ounce they will be as I'm in the market for a new pair and I'd hate to miss out on something if they were in the realms of what I'm looking for .

  8. Just to change the pace mention a few that are not represented here yet

    I'm two episodes into " The Brink " with Jack Black based on a stand off between the US and Pakistan and I'm hooked so far ,I just hope they can keep the momentum going .

    Another is " Glitch " an Australian take on all those returned from the dead shows that seem to be flooding the box of late , iv watched season one in one sitting , be warned this one is a slow burn but hopefully setting up for a good season two .

  9. It's a shame , I'm loving what I received .

    There was a lot of flak about this company , justified ( who knows ) but the underlining truth is that it filled a gap in the market that people were willing to throw money at hand over fist .

    Maybe someone will fill this now open void in the marketplace or at the very least modify what they sell to benifit from someone else's loss .
