[Finn666]

back from switzerland again and i have a pretty good feeling…just need to talk to my professor again about some facts for my bachelor-thesis cuz the project I should be a part of could be too "easy" for a whole bachelor-thesis...
If this is the fact then I have to split thesis and traineeship...we'll see!

Thx though beats and paula for crossing some fingers and toes

el - Ray Ban's are nice looking!Get'em…

Beats - Eric's the man! Who would have thought that he would made 10k in just 2days…awesome! And I love the dog

We've just been told that out house has been nominated for "Restoration of the Year" by the local conservation society.  We're feeling rather smug…............

[Max Power]

congrats!

[Geo]

nice work !

[Simon]

You deserve to win; for anyone that hasn't seen it, Giles & Paula have done a amazing job of sympathetically restoring a beautiful [ & enormous] 180 year old Georgian military residence. It had been abandoned for 30 years and was in seriously bad state when they purchased it. It now looks like a feature in County Life, simply beautiful!

[Giles]

Thank you Simon…............

[jacoavlu]

Much congrats G!
Deserved recognition it seems.
Just don't let those society folks catch you firing spuds 'round the neighborhood with that cannon.

[elclintor]

I really really like these.. They are terribly expensive though…

But they will be on your face every day.
Someone once gave me the great piece of advice that when faced with multiple price options, for the things you touch and use and feel every single day (faucet handles, knives, glasses, shoes etc.) always get exactly what you want.  You will not regret it…

[hectic]

excellent words, Kat.

[Geo]

worth every penny - i'm just waiting on these arriving

[elclintor]

Yeah, it looks like the Dita's will be the winner.. I hope to try them on before purchasing though.. I hope somewhere in Austin has them in stock. There's not a dealer in my area.

Those look great Geo… Same model?

St. Patrick's Day is upon us.  Proper end of the rainbow vessel:

Be safe.

lol i like that pic

[Geo]

yeah El, it's the statesman - i had tried them on here in uk, a while back but then couldn't get my size - so nameness stepped in to help out (amazing guy - going straight to No.1 on the Heroes board)

the pictures don't do them justice . . . quality is well beyond any other glasses I have tried (Mikli, ic! Berlin, Tom Ford, Moscot etc . . . although I'd be happy to recommend any of those!) - only other brands I have been equally impressed with are Kaneko Optical & Effector . . . and they are as rare as hen's teeth - at least here in the EU!

downside is there are very limited number of outlets selling them - i think they are carefully controlled by Dita

there are a few brands that make similar styles for a bit less cash if that's what you're after . . . Shuron and Moscot have a lovely vintage feel . . . JimmyC and Monday respectively could probably give a view on those, Anglo American Optical and obviously Rayban (that you posted), and as a one-off these are pretty cool too:
