It's Texas man… Can't expect everyone to know how to write, y'know!..

I know you're joking, but sadly you're right.  A former coworker of mine once bragged to me about getting someone who didn't know how to read to sign a lease.  That was about 2-3 years ago.

At least my current problems stem from the disposition of an estate in 1885.  Folks back then had a bit more of an excuse for illiteracy.

Blown out the pocket bags in my Busters for the second time in a month 

[Seul]

Do you keep dynamite in them, perhaps?.. Or rabbits?..

[injunjack]

probably playing pocket-billiard all day long

Ha ha, nothing so dramatic or perverse I'm afraid….just keys, coins, and my iPhone. I have to say, in all honesty I think that this is the weak point of the jeans, as these are the only jeans that it has ever happened on, i've carried the same stuff for many years in other jeans without a problem. Still, it's a relatively easy repair.

[injunjack]

did it rip around the pocket opening??

[Megatron1505]

Nope, at the bottom of both pocket bags, one pocket only ever has my iPhone in it, nothing else at all.

[injunjack]

Strange….

[Giles]

We used a special herringbone twill on these, perhaps that was a mistake…...

[Megatron1505]

It's not a major issue G, more of an annoyance. I'd rather deal with this than a split seam, or a crotch blow out, such as I have experienced with other jeans.

Can you load pics Mega?

[Megatron1505]

I can, but to be fair it wouldn't make any difference. I think we can all visualise a pocket bag with a big hole in it

Went to this winestore for a li'l degustation… Guy maintains a system where you have your own card, buy credit for it, enter it, press some funky buttons et voila... You get a nice sip to try the wine... I figured since he was having a discount and had sent an e-mail saying it's a special day and so on, he'd let us try the wine for free... No Sirree Bob... Had to pay to try the wine... That's like Haraki making Giles pay for a sample... Well: I'll take my business elsewhere...

[rocket]

can understand you, think thats a pretty strange behaviour….

[bagley920]

I have never, at any store, had to pay to sample wine. You don't get much, but enough to taste it. That's just crazy from the start.

[Seul]

Quite. Mind you - he didn't have any good wine either… Always open to try new stuff, but it'll be back to me usual store for now!..

[bagley920]

In general, anyone charging for samples won't be in business long.

[Megatron1505]

FML!!!

Busters - Busted

Sams - Slaughtered

Poor lad  I feel for ya though… First I had to have me two months old Tricker's fixed, now this:
