[Beatle]

[davito]

lovely pics and wonderful gardening work Mrs G. and you wear that jeans beautifully

[Sugar Mountain]

You should get in on this tour Davito. The jeans haven't been to Zurich yet as far as I can remember. Make it happen!

[davito]

Would really love to mate, but since I am a waist 29/TTS30 and I am not sure what the current size this WT jeans is, I would probably not feel comfortable in them and could not give them enough love they deserve since I wear all my IH not over tagsize 30 and like it not to baggy around my skinny ass…

I would be much honoured to be part of this but I think sizewise I'll have to pass unfortunately...

[Sugar Mountain]

Ach, they may be too big. Depends if you wanna roll with an anti-fit look for a month while you show us around town.

[davito]

unfortunately I am not an antifit guy when it is getting too big,…sorry...but hei anyway I will show some pix of Zurich around whenever I can :-))))

LOL, yes the bag gets lots of rough treatment!  I’m not so heavy on my jawnz… (note to self, must move more!)

I thought I was at end of WT stint so have washed them ready for the handover to EmCeeQ, I enjoyed wearing them, they are extremely comfy    Not sure I added much to the evo but I feel very privileged to have unexpectedly taken part in the tour.

That said, nice to be back in my everyday Beatle Busters which were abandoned for 4 weeks

Drying off…

[emceeQ]

Great leg Mme B, and those jawnz are looking fantastic.  Can't wait to hop in em and start my leg of the tour

I see you emceeQ. Hope the WT's are making it to Curry…

[emceeQ]

Both the handoff and curry are imminent.  Be prepared…

The Mme B/emceeQ WT handover…

Awesomeness! Stoked to see Round 2 go down. Now, I have to get this list in order…

[Guest]

if they make their way to the east coast, im sooo down! give em a hair color thrashing, should only take a few hours. haha

[MikeC]

emceeQ, u lucky bastard, looks like your wearing the 666D sample. If they are, they look damn good on you. It pretty much sold me on sizing up to a 38. I measured my chopped 811s today and found out they are a 38 waist but tagged at 36. Those world tours even look awesome folded up.

Thanks man, you can be expecting to see a lot more of them.  The 666D will be getting heavy wear this summer…

and to continue with the world tour...

Dinner from last night was great.  G and P took me out to one of the local curry houses

Only a few hours in and already starting to get the WT's dirty

Expect fit pics later today

[Sugar Mountain]

So excited to see this thing rolling. Looking forward to moar updates EmceeQ but get that curry cleaned off the leg!

[Giles]

Mike has just left to spend the day in Portsmouth Dockyard.,  That is unless we decide to go fishing this afternoon, then he has to get back here pronto…..

[emceeQ]

Here are some pics from my trip over to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyards yesterday

First actual shot of the jeans on me.  Some proper fit pics will be up as soon as I get em of Giles' camera.

First order of business for the day was going aboard the HMS Victory.  It was Lord Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, and I believe the oldest ship still in commission in the Royal Navy

The sun was so intense I had trouble getting decent pics from the outside, so this was a model of the Victory I found near by to give you an idea of what it looks like.  It was currently undergoing some maintenance, so the tops of the masts were removed

Here is what is currently left of the masts

The Victory had 104 guns on board.  This was one of the smaller 12-pound cannons

and one of the larger guns on board

Kept hitting my on that low ceiling the whole time I was in there

The officer's dining room, with Nelson's uniform in the background

The crew's sleeping areas were hammocks set more or less above the cannons

These were some surgeons tools from the ship, used during Nelson's time.  The doctors were particularly brutal, and could amputate a limb in a minute thirty

Next I hopped on a boat and took a tour around the harbor, seeing some of the newer ships the navy has.

The owner of NCP car parks also keeps his super yacht in Portsmouth Harbor.  He'll apparently let you stay there for a week in the harbor for a mere $500,000

This is Spinnaker tower.  It's got three observation decks up top. The top is open air, and the bottom has a glass floor that you can look down through.

This is the HMS Warrior, the first iron hulled warship
