      Lost 5 kilograms in 5 weeks. On a diet of beer, wine, cognac and cheese.

      6 in 6 weeks. Replaced cognac by whiskey. Works for me…

        You might be the coolest guy I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Seriously.

        IT guy emails a handful of Japanese denim craftsmen and the one that responds is Haraki-San. IHUK is born and you get involved with and grow IMHO the best clothing brand on the planet. The brand evolves and becomes what it is today…full of unlimited potential.

        About a decade down the road, through happenstance, you get involved with a fucking Fiji fishing lodge...just, wow!

        Forget Yvon Chouinards, when is your biography getting published? (If you need a writer, let me know ;))

        Quoted for the truth. Gives me hope for the rest of my life too. It all seems risky, but also the good kind of crazy risk that you may as well as you only live once kind of thing. Kudos to you for living good sir!

            Weird. I used the exact same diet and I gained five kilos.  Only instead of wine, I had Red Bull, instead of cognac I had pizza, and instead of cheese, I had cheeseburgers.

              Blush.  I just do shit that I like and have a wife who is prepared to put up with my idiosyncrasies…..

              Are there any good stories of ideas that she shot down?

                  Great story and after meeting G and Paula, the couple of times that I have, why I felt compelled to help celebrate Giles' Kanreki.

                    I believe @Seul meant to say beer, swine, cognac and cheese.

                          Proud father alert: Number one son (14 years old) went on a «study date» yesterday evening (how much studying was done with young Sofie, I am unsure about). He went out of the house wearing his first bit of Iron Heart, an IHTP-04 that was too small for me. I choked up a bit…

                                  I was just about to say… neph's list reads like:

                                  • 1 billion children: check
                                  • 78 billion grandchildren: work in progress

                                  Have you told Sofie you expect a full soccer team worth of offspring from her?..

                                      I’m sure Sofie isn’t that kind of girl (yet) and I don’t think Noah is that kind of boy (yet). But he’s had the talk. He also lives in a house with his eight month year old and two year old little brothers, so if that doesn’t scare the shit out if him, nothing will [emoji23]

                                          The Japanese tend to replace older houses, but this article from The Guardian suggests that things might be changing.

                                          Incidentally, they need to get @neph93 to give them lessons. Their population is set to fall from 127 million now to 88 million by 2065. :o
