Sorry to hear about Mrs Betty, I wish her a speedy recovery

She's still in ICU, but changed to a different ICU today - I have to head up there shortly. F'kin nightmare, frankly...

Oh bugger. Sorry to hear. Best wishes to yer good self and Mrs Betty.

Thank you, Gentlemen - it's day by day at the moment. A couple of days ago it was hour by hour, so while not out of the woods, there is some progression.

You fellas should buy yeeself some Momotatos as a self-gift, to feel special - you're worth it...

Best of luck to the missus and yourself, Betty.

Man BB. Best to her on a speedy recovery.

Btw, the jeans look a bit poofterish. I have had my Levi's for years. 514's. Made in the US. I basically live in them here. $39 a pair when you buy 2. I think you got ripped off.

Back in the day when I was alive, I used to splurge on Armani jeans and the like.

Now I usually settle on a decent pair of Levis, but they're usually the best part of 100 quid or so in the UK.

They do last me years though.

They do. I pick up a few pairs in the US every few trips, some for my BIL and a few friends. For me, it depends on the pairs I have. Most of mine are pretty stained from yard work and ATV and moto riding so I keep a couple for casual nights out. I have found them with sale coupons to be $60 for 2. 514s are great. Same with 505's. 514s are lighter versus 505's.

^ Yeah, that's about when I stopped wearing them.

That was my point.

Sheesh.

Still, no problem finding available TD members in Seoul.

Might as well have a fkin road sign pointing to his back passage.

^ I missed the Liverpool goal doing that bloody post. I really don't know why I waste my time giving you fellas advanced knowledge when you'll ignore it all and go out buying your Chinese knockoffs for £20 squids.

These are nice, Tax:

Prolly bigger than we need but was on sale HomePro so impulse took over.
Damn lopsided pics!

Nice fridge.

But, the real question is: have you thought about buying yourself a pair of Momotaros, Norton?

Gee Tax, I didn't know that Levi's are a fashion statement. Of course you likely live in pajamas or a robe all the time being all you do is shuffle from the couch to the shitter.

Nice 'rator, Norts.

Sometimes if in a pickle, you gotta take stock, and if it cuts the mustard, keep cool and milk it.

At 40 outside only labourers would where jeans, shorts/sarong or commando order of the day.

I did look over at me nice robe and consider wearing it and nothing else today, but opted for me daily uniform of a pair of Decathlon shorts and nothing else. Besides a quick dash to cover up me chiseled abs n pecs when the Lazada lad came, it's purfect.

Spring in Korea - 20 degrees, cool breeze - lovely for jeans and a t-shirt. The only questions are:

1) Which one of my 5 pairs of Momotaros should I wear today.

2) Which man blouse to show off today?

3) Can I afford a new fridge? Hmmm, probably not.

I haven't worn a pair of jeans for over 30 years. Too hot for SE Asia IMO. I just prefer lighter weight trousers to jeans. Also much better in the wet, just quicker to dry out.

Anway, my impulse buy for this week was a Samsung soundbar. wife has been moaning about an upgrade, so I had a browse around and ended up with the HW-Q810. Easy to setup since we have a Samsung TV and wifey is happy, which makes me happy.
