I only popped on here to look at the jeans.

Newbie here, so hopefully nobody offended by this one.

Sister Mary entered the Monastery of Silence. The Abbot said, “ sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so.”
Sister Mary lived in the monastery for 5 years before the abbot said to her, “ Sister Mary, you have been here for 5 years. You can speak two words.
Sister Mary said, “Hard bed.”
“Im sorry to hear that” the Abbot said, “we’ll get you a better bed.”
After 5 more years, Sister Mary was called by the Abbot. “ You may say another 2 words Sister”.
“ Cold food”, said Sister Mary. The Abbot assured her the food would be better in future.
On her 15th anniversary, the Abbot again called Sister Mary into his office. “ You may say 2 words today”.
“ I quit” said Sister Mary.
“It’s probably for the best” said the Abbot, “ you’ve done fuck all but moan since you’ve been here”.

A husband takes his wife to a disco.
There’s a guy on the dance giving it large - break dancing, moonwalking, back flips, the works.

The wife turns to her husband and says “ see that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down.”

Husband says “ looks like he’s still fucking celebrating!”

I recently replaced the leather strap with a bracelet on my 15 year old Railmaster. It’s changed the whole look of the watch and I love it.

@HalfPastNever if you still have tags on it and it’s within 30 days of purchase then any decent retailer should offer a refund or exchange.

I own the jacket in olive and love it, but my collar is perfect. Just looks like this one slipped through QC.

I don’t know if the IH team can offer any further guidance?

WTF just happened in Washington??? Unbelievable end to the game.

@goosehd salt, vinegar and chip shop curry sauce! Food of the Gods.

I can barely discuss this subject without raging at the self inflicted stupidity of it all. Some of the rationale from people was bewildering.
Some treated it as a protest vote , without giving a second’s thought for the impact that it would have.
Elderly people who had rose tinted memories of a country that no longer exists, and would never live long enough to see their perceived benefits of brexit. Their grandchildren will pay a high price for their shortsightedness.
People who blamed ‘foreigners’ for taking their jobs, even though they don’t want to do the jobs themselves. They have no interest in picking fruit, or working in hospitality, or working in hospitals or in the care system, and are now shocked that pubs are closing, food prices are through the roof and they can’t get a doctor’s or hospital appointment.
And the stupidity of believing in some of the biggest charlatans in UK politics in my lifetime.
I could go on but would be banned from the forum if I said more.

@Crispy-Heron if it’s not a ball throwing device, then it will have shrank considerably in this weather!

Just ordered a pair of these. First ever pair of duck so really looking forward to receiving.

Brilliant assistance as ever from Bailey re sizing

@Brandrea I blame Iron Heart! I used to hate the cold weather until I discovered this brand.

@goosehd if you want to dip your toe into a Dehen style cardigan at a lower price point, check out North Sea Clothing. Similar styles made for inclement weather. They restock their core items regularly and have a sale each year.

@Matt food of the Gods

@Matt That was a good listen. On the basis that I didn’t want my last day on earth to be a work day, I retired early too. Never regretted it.

We need to up our game in the UK. Santa only gets a mince pie and a glass of sherry here.

Never mind a pyramid, @denim-dawg would have worn it while scuba diving!

@goosehd great photos and loving the colour coordination. Glad to see Santa received the memo!

It sounds like a calendar to hang above the mantelpiece to keep young children away from the fire!
