        I love Persol, I used to have a passion for Effector glasses, but despite their reputation for quality I found them a little flimsy. Quite the opposite with Persol, I half expected them to be flimsy, but they're really solid.

          I sat on a pair a week ago.  Massive deformity, bent them back into place, re-inserted lens (well had to get an optician to do that) and you would never know.  And I mean the arms where 80 degree's from where they were supposed to be.  Astonishing…..

            So this morning, I am minding my own business when a guy parks his car across the front door of the office.  Popped my head out of the door and very politely said "hey, you may want to move that, we've got a number of deliveries coming in today". 
            Rest of conversation

            Eejit "It's a car park innit". 
            Me "Yes it is, but you're blocking the door to the office and your car may get scratched when we take stuff in and out of the office"
            Eejit "It's not my car"

            At which point I blew the feck up…..

                        Shipping was 1,29 €, so don't expect a Ferrari…  😉

                        No Ferrari but the look on my face and the feeling I had when opening the mail was priceless! You certainly know your customer.  😞 Seul let me just say thank you. The Photo says it all…

                            I hope you didn't blast the seller too hard. I think you misunderstood my above photo/ post. I have had that thing for a month or two. I had no clue where it came from. Bwahahahahahahaha

                              I had the guy ship it directly to you, so wasn't able to add anything. Figured it got lost in the mail. Anyway: these will go great with some office gear…

                                  I got mine today too and it's definitely a beast. It can easily pass for a light early summer jacket over here where I live. Perfect for the scandinavian climate except for when the summer really kicks in. I don't understand how you guys in tropical climates (anything over 25 degrees celsius counts as tropical to me 🙂 ) can handle anything but shorts, tees and flipflops but I guess everything's relative.

                                  Oh and since we're ranting, we had feckin' snowfall this morning… Luckily it melted away already.

                                  AIAN HA-TO!

                                    I guess I should count my "blessings" for living in North America (i.e.  Canada specifically).  The gamut of weather conditions allows us to wear pretty much of everything in the entire IH collection.  The only problem is to get $$ to fund this hhhmm…..expensive habit.

                                      Raleigh Denim annoys the shit out of me.  Their cuts are starting to get too tight and they are super trendy. They had a frigging fashion show in NYC for fashion week this year.

                                        I've been waiting for 5 weeks now for some MRI scan results, for some weird shit I've been experiencing. So I called the hospital today to be told that my consultant hasn't looked at my scan yet, only works on Tuesdays, and might not have time to view it next week either as he is "extremely busy". The secretary was very polite though, even when I asked "if I should die in the meantime, who do I sue?".

                                        These results are all that is holding me back booking for NY, so fucking frustrated, I've missed out on a couple of good apartments this week, and flight prices are rising  😞

                                          Not to make light of your situation, but there might be a problem with this statement…
