      @Giles:

      It's a completely unnecessary soak after being delivered, but Tommy had seen Gav doing it in a pair of Raws, so was not going to be dissuaded…..

      Do we talk about the 21oz denim?
      I have two 634s pairs, the first pair did not get a soak, the second pair got a soak. I have to say the second pair lasts longer, no ripped threads, pocket bags are still intact, and the denim fades slowly and nicely. Maybe it's just me, but I think Tommy did everything right with the soak.

        We do.  The thing is with the 21oz, it is sanforised and we one-wash it anyway…..

          In my innocence, I thought swimming would miraculously make me fit.  Imagine my disappointment when I started to hurt, and for weeks on end, dared not swim.

          I had an MRI last week.  @Madame Buttonfly and I went for the prognosis tonight.  Yes, not only do (did) I have a deformity of the toes, I have a deformity of the spine.  Interestingly enough, related issues.

          In my neck I have 3 fused cervical vertebrae.  This basically means my neck is nowhere as mobile as it should be (and, as my darling wife says, makes me look like a tortoise) and the swimming has effectively exposed the problem.

          Expert advice.  Take a couple of Nurofen before you swim and a couple a few hours later.  Which is 100% fine with me.  Now I know what the issue is, I can stop worrying and get on with swimming etc etc…..

                  Good for you Giles!

                  Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                  Well, I have others.

                    Exactly.  I'm actually very relieved…..

                        Thanks.  There is no getting better.  But there is almost nothing I can do that will make it any worse.  I just need to work out how to manage the pain - which is not awful, just bloody annoying….

                          Good to hear.  It's a nuisance, but manageable nonetheless.  Keep up the good work.

                            wow G, you don't do things lightly. Wonder if anywhere in your past it's surfaced for a bit and receded, only to come to a head now. Can't wait to see you back in that wetty now you know you can manage and move forward, carefully, of course!

                              I have had one and off issues with my back/spine since my early 20's.  Pain will come and then go again within a day or 2.  This time is different, it will not go away, hence me going for expert advice….

                              3 or so miler planned for Sunday, then a week later is the swim itself...

                                  I wouldn't be so sure about that young Megatron1505.

                                  @Winchy is the only person that really spends any quality time with me nowadays so I expect that G-san's back problem was caused by hunching over that young hipster-tart of a Macbook Air that he's always prodding away at.
