has anyone tried adding rivets to their jeans for suspenders? i don't want all my current jeans to go to waste, and plus, i can't afford another, so i was thinking of just getting some rivets and doing them myself. but i'm not very sure where i can get such rivets from..

^ you´d need some extra buttons mate, so you that you´re able to add the suspenders. i already heard of someone who did it, gonna see if i can find that post! give me a few minutes/hours!

It's easy.  And you don't want rivets, you need small buttons. (best) or ordinary waist size buttons (second best)  Check out eBay for a selection:

^or try to get that Lightning Mag (around last summer / fall) where they added suspender buttons plus "fastening tool"

And there are a few vids on YouTube that show you how to do it….

Has SELA ever carried Sunny Sports socks? Been over a year since I've been there…

Not sure about SELA, but Context Clothing has some: http://www.contextclothing.com/brand.php?brand=Sunny+Sports

My first pair of sunny sports came from SELA. They most likely still have some

New TV shopping soon, do I go bigger (51") or smaller (43") but with more features (SMART TV, 3D etc…) ?

Got two sets in mind, both are in the same ball park cost wise, although the smaller TV is the more expensive by £40ish.

The big one is a Samsung plasma, the smaller one is a Toshiba LED.

Don't forget a plasma needs to be "recharged" over time

bigger

[Finn666]

the bigger the better (as the US guys tend to say!)

on the other hand, with the "right" features, i wouldn´t mind my TV being a tad smaller as the other one…

[rocket]

go for a LED and ignore the smart TV features, they are usual slow, stupid to use and you have a PC to go to the net anyway… You will play a day with them and thats it... imo.... The Toshiba 3D works fine with the glasses, but is only useful if you have enough Blu-ray's available or have access to SKY 3D stuff, if there is a programm...

I disagree with bigger is better. Picture quality is priority one.

^right

was only joking mate…and o/course you´re right!

And the picture quality on a plasma set is generally better.  Color reproduction is more accurate, no blurring on motion, better off angle viewing…

I have two Panasonic plasma TVs and we love them.  Not familiar with Samsung's offerings, however. Smart TV features are largely useless.
