So every year at this time my company plays the "will we or won't we" game with our annual bonus, which is "meant" to be payed October 1st but never is. This year I was planning on booking our family holiday for next year with the money if they gave a bonus, which they usually do.
For weeks I have been watching our perfect holiday for next summer, available at a great price, and for weeks the company has delayed telling us if we have a bonus or not. So finally this week they confirmed the bonus, I go to book the holiday andnthe price has gone up by almost £800 !
So we found the same break elsewhere for £400 more than we wanted to pay, all due to my company delaying the announcement…..again
Wait.....this should be a first world problem

Yep. Guess we should have seen this coming a year ago
Indeed. Acquired by a private equity firm and will likely have its assets stripped/sold. Scumbags of the highest order. Kinda surprised a company like Levi's doesn't come in and buy the plant. It would give them complete control of the US denim market.
I wonder what this will mean for US denim companies that rely on Cone?

The definition of a first world problem, you insufferable tosser… Where are the mods when you need 'm?..
(Although that really sucks...)
Can't you feel my pain? I had to spend "a bit" more to get my expensive foreign holiday
-
Regarding Cone, their denim actually manages to capture the flat and even characteristics of true vintage denim better than most. It's really not my thing, but as a part of history I'm sad to see it go.
-
Shame to see Cone go, long history! I have some RRL which which uses their denim that I like.

Oh and as for trucks, Hi-Lux. IF you really must go absolutely anywhere, then Mercedes Unimog.
-
The Unimog is at least in Europe a Truck and because of that you need a Truck License to drive it. The G-Wagon went the same Route as the American Offroad Cars, from a usuable Workhorse for the Army to a Luxurs City Vehicle, the chepeast Model is Around 80k Euros. The new X-Class Pickup is a Nissan Navara in a different Packeing.

CLUTCH haven't released a magazine with original content for some time now…
Now they are showing their greater lack of originality by opening a store just a short walk from a well established London retailer...

Spend fortune on IH gear.
Spend most of my life in $5 scrubs.

when ladies ask for a work shirt at work. and i'm thinking "oh work shirt", before realising their layman meaning of a shirt for work a.k.a button up..

Scrubs seem to look basiclly the same all Around the world, the only way to look cool in them is to be really jacked

People who don't pay attention to what is going on around them might be some of my least favorite humans on the planet. Never ceases to amaze me how oblivious to the world some people are.
