@bryaneidins70 if time is on your side, Sapa north of Hanoi is an absolute amazing place to spend a few days. The hospitality of the Hmong people that host guests in their own hand built homes is one of my favourite experiences every whilst travelling!
Also, Phong Nha is a great stop on the way down south from Hanoi for its caves and natural water parks. It was also my favourite spot for riding as the roads are so wide and empty with the most beautiful rolling green scenery.
@Denman-John Damn John, you've faded the hell outta that!
Love to see 
@Matt I've never been disappointed with imported American fast food than when Taco Bell came to the UK...
There's been a few hits though! Popeyes is ok, and Dave's Hot Chicken has become my new favourite filthy treat...
@don_pipone good to know, my machine has the same setting..
Thanks for the info!
Can anyone comment on how the worsted wool used in Dehen cardigans/shawl sweaters handles delicate machine washing? Thinking of getting one for the winter but I don't really wanna have to hand wash it..
@WhiskeySandwich oh don't get me wrong, I share the same 'separate the art from the artist' mentality too...
I wasn't actively following the sport during his come up and prime, but of course he was always on my radar as a sportsman and cult figure.
There was a part of me that hoped he'd pull of a miracle yesterday so could I could experience a fraction of the hype I'm sure you guys felt back in his heyday with the potential of them building towards a fight with Islam, but after what happened, I think fans are just gonna have move on from the idea of what they hoped he could be again.
I hope he manages to find peace, stay sober and gracefully move into whatever chapter comes next in life for him.
@jordanscollected said in UFC:
Please McGregor just go away forever. Maybe a boxing match with Jake Paul as a farewell.
I think Paul would accept an MMA fight on MVP after last nights 'performance'.
I struggle to find sympathy for the guy given his past indiscresisons, but from an objective standpoint the whole thing is like a greek tragedy...
Hubris, greed and ego kept him in the game longer than the body he continuously abused could handle, and now the only big payday he can hope for as a 'sportsman' is being served up as a sacrificial lamb for somebody that would have once been considered so many leagues below him.
I have no doubt he'll continue to make millions, but I don't think it will offset the cost that this setback will have had on his soul...
@jordanscollected agreed, and I think the Paddy/Ilia fight will be undeniable if Paddy wins! Genuine beef there, but I fear for Ilia's sanity if Paddy somehow pulls off the upset... 
@Nick looks likes it gonna happen, we have Mauricio Ruddy as a back up though..
The whole card is stacked, but I'm looking forward to Paddy/BSD the most. Such a difficult fight to call, but I have Paddy by decision.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole card.
I wanna see Ilia face the winner of Paddy/BSD before a rematch is considered. Ruffy can have the loser as it'd still be a step up for him (and potentially an opportunity avenge to avenge his loss to St Denis).
Arman should face Gaethje at the start of next year if he doesn't retire. Can only ignore the rightful number one contender for so long without it becoming a farce...
@WhiskeySandwich I won't be mad if Gaethje somehow pulls it off though, it'd be an iconic moment made sweeter by the fact he's never been undisputed before.
I got the following parlay going...
Garcia
Nickal
Zahabi
Hokit (First Round KO)
Ruffy
Pereira
Topuria (KO)
Couple underdog picks, but I like to live dangerously.

@Alex apologies if I wasn't clear in my words, but I never meant to insinuate that you were trying to deceive anyone.
My reference to product photo was intended to illustrate my point that this issue with the pockets seems to be consistent across this run, rather than one off QC misses.
I acknowledge Giles' points posted above, and appreciate that these hiccups in manufacturing must be extremely frustrating for everyone involved but I just wanted to give my honest opinion as somebody that respects what you guys do and the products you help to create.
In 3/4 years on this forum and after 1000 posts I can only recall expressing anything less than unbridled positivity on 2 occasions, so I would have hoped my feedback would have been taken with better intentions.
Respectfully, given the price point of these shirts and the brands reputation for quality/attention to detail, these asymmetric pockets are unforgivable imo.
I can understand how inconsistencies in the hides/scarring could be spun as a unique quirk of the product, but this is clearly a construction error that appears to be consistent across the entire batch (it's even off in the product photo which was probably the best of the bunch).
I hope this gets taken as constructive criticism that it is intended to be.
@Denimhead-0 damn, seeing them side by side makes my silly brain say they're different enough to warrant both...
Great photos and post, Andrew. I always knew you'd pull off this jacket
