On our journeys to become qualified counsellors, both myself and Black Orchid had to spend a good few years at college and university. One element of our training was developing the skill and art of listening which is fundamental to counselling and psychotherapy. I was surprised at how much "stuff" can get in the way of active listening.

I read something along my journey which I have remembered and use often; "Awareness, Process, Reflect, Transform".
Develop more Awareness of what people say to you and you say to them
Process what you hear in these exchanges
Reflect on what was said by all parties
Transform ineffective beliefs / attitudes / feelings / behaviours / actions for more effective ones.
It really helps and works for me. However, being human, this only works when I am "consciously aware" and not "asleep, dreaming that I am awake"

@madmonday:

Has anyone ever actually listened 2 anyone & changed their thoughts on a subject, course of action, opinion, anything?

My opinion is that 99% of humanity is selfish scum. Won't bother with 'm. The other 1% are either dead, in jail, or are mates.

@Giles:

I'm always changing my mind when persuaded by decent logic…..

Dito. I frequently go into discussions and arguments with a very strong opinion and come out, based on better data/logic totally against what I started. I hold strong opinions, but fold easily :).

Is there a thread for the 633N?  My search skills are intermediate at best, but I can't find one.

Thanks Chris!

@TrickHell:

Is there a difference between the military chinos and the work chinos other than color?

if you mean 707 and 710, the fabric and the colour are the same.  May be tiny variation due to bing from different rolls.  Cuts and design are different…

What shirt is this?

It's IH? Couldn't find reference to it anywhere but I'm sure I can see a blue tag on the left pocket….

IHSH-10 - http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=644.15

[JCMx800]

Re-run it with black snaps and black tags. Should be enough improvement.

[MastersOfDeath]

Thanks. I imagine it wouldn't be a slow seller if it was released now…anyway, it's very nice.

The infamous IHSH-10, of which some shirts had upside down patterns IIRC.

Your memory is a lot less shot than mine then…...

Unless they're the 44 or 16 or 27 or 46 or 67 ?

[Finkster]

Re-run !!!

[Finn666]

all i´m talking about is flannels/uhf´s with a nice pattern (i.e.more than 1 or 2 colors)… @Giles
and btw. i´m not so sure about the 44, 27, 46 or 67 being "classics"

[Giles]

You can't have your cake and eat it.  You can't unilaterally decide what is a classic and what is not.  It's OK if we re-release something as long as it has no more than 1 or 2 colours…..?  I'm confused now....
