      The vast majority of folk who drive Renault Scenics and BMWs drive like c**ts.

      How is this an unpopular opinion? This is a fact.

        Yeah, the internet has democratized music and empowered musicians. Record companies and corporate radio are no longer the sole route to discovery for fans. So I'd say the exact opposite is true. If something is killing music it's something else. Like society imploding in general.

        Opinion: aisle seats are lame. Only thing lamer is a middle seat. I wanna lean against the fuselage while I sleep and to not be awoken by the old chap with the enlarged prostate. Since I'm a piss camel I'm not worried about getting out. But come time to leave the plane that isle asshole better be ready.

        Think it, be it.

          You must be my long lost twin.  I feckin hate aisle seats.  I can easily do a transatlantic flight with no piss.  I sit down, put my earphones in, have too much to drink and ignore everyone (including Paula)….The first time we flew long haul together she thought she had done something to piss me off, now she just takes the piss and tries to make me reluctantly interact with her and other human beings.....

            I feckin hate, really feckin hate Christy soles….

            I understand what they are good for, and if you need them for that, cool.  BUT why fuck up a perfectly good pair of boots by putting a Christy on when it is not needed......?

                Perhaps we are long lost twins, I'm completely with you here. I think I may have griped about them previously. Are they comfortable? Sure, in a way. I prefer a bit more firmness. But they look so trashy. They just ruin the look of anything above them.

                  Kinda funny, I think Christy soles have a place, as do cap toes, but they are getting blown out by improper placement.

                  To this end, the Engineer is becoming one of my least favorite boot styles.

                    I feel the same about service boots, fed up of seeing them.

                    I like some of the more vintage style engineer boots, weirdly I think they look better with a thicker sole. I really like Rafas but never saw the fuss about Road Champs at all.

                      Flat toe profile engineers are the best. The toe profile on davito's Viberg horse engineers are exactly how it should be done. I don't like the bulbous lasts, though I understand the necessity with steel toe versions.

                            I've been tempted with a pair of Wesco Boss, but I'm sticking with Bounty Hunters as my favourite boot style.

                                  See, I think they are nice boots, particularly considering I love a pull on. However I have seen the style done to death, so I wouldn't get a pair. I like classic looks as much as everyone else, but you gotta have variants somewhere. It's like Meg with the service, burned out for me.

                                    I'm ready. I'm even many rows up the plane already. If you have any kind of shoulders on you, and are flying on 2-4 hour hops, even coast to coast in US sometimes, the window seats on those smaller planes don't cut it. Your shoulder is hunched the whole flight, and if you are an old geezer like me, you go lame. Younger days, I didn't mind and agree there is more peace stuffed into the window. Weirdly, the middle seats are often the best. No shoulder cramp from the convex fuselage curve, no aisle walkers and carts knocking your other shoulder, and sometimes the seats, on certain planes, are outfitted to be at least an inch or more wider. Then again, I sometimes just suck it up and stand in the back of the plane til everyone's on and take the most open seat left…forward. The engine noise at the rear is brutal.

                                        Flying, I just wanna drink and stare out the window. The experience isn't usually a great one for me, so just leave me the hell alone. Cass is scared to death of flying though, so thankfully this isn't a normal thing.

                                            I will never enter a plane in my life. Basically anything that goes up in the air can go fuck itself. Wasps, balloons, Superman, planes,… Only exception is birds. Birds fucking rule. And bumblebees.
