Is anyone familiar with www.volls.de ? Have you ordered from there? Legit? I sent them an inquiry about an item two days ago without a response. Just wondering if it's a safe place to order from.

I've tried that Prorsum trench on, it fits TTS, really TTS actually. Fits really slim as well. I like it, but it's about 3 big ones over here, so forget it. Cotton sateen btw, I think the fabric is nice but nothing to write home about, APC has used fabric like that before on much lesser stuff.

You need to step up your stylist game. I kind of feel today was a waste for the WAYWT Discussion thread, I completely derailed it and I apologize

I drink a half cup of coffee in the mornings with tiny bit of sugar and powder creamer and about 3 glasses of tea (earl grey or english breakfast) a day. I only drink coke at the house with certain foods maybe half a can 3x a week but when I go to restaurants I usually have iced tea and water with a lemon in it. There is a guy at my office who uses 7 of the little creamers in each cup of his coffee.

If you want to lose weight drink green tea twice a day for a month or two and you'll drop weight. Tastes like garbage so I don't do it personally.

Kona coffee huh? I think it tends to be over hyped, over priced, and less intense tasting than the best African coffees. Can you recommend an outstanding one for $30/lb or less? I will certainly try it again.

I've often wondered why there was so much hype for Kona. Best explanation is that it's partly deserved, partly due to the idea that high price equals "best quality", and partly due to people's romanticism about the location. Ethiopia invokes images of starving babies, whilst Hawaii (or Jamaica) invokes images of a tropical paradise and thus seems an appropriate locale for an exotic coffee.

If you think that's a crazy explanation, then try asking people whom know very little about coffee if they'd like Hawaiian Kona or Ethiopian coffee. Nearly all will choose the Kona.

Agree 1000%, Ethiopian ftw. That is what I ask for every time, if it is available. Don't care for Kona at all. Big dissapointment.

Lion's Gold is a 100% Kona that's less than $30/lb but I'm not sure where you'd get it except in Hawaii (possibly a online source?). Amazingly smooth and not bitter at all. They also do a lot of blends that are good tasting, though not as refined as the pure Kona (vanilla macadamia, chocolate macadamia, etc.). I haven't tried any other brand of Kona though, but I'm sure any Seattle roaster would upcharge to that $30/lb. I'm don't hate Ethiopian coffees, they just don't hold my fancy, and if I can drink better I might as well do so.

Finally have a decent photo of what I've been wearing, even though it's only the top half. I had my graduation ceremony today. Went straight from work so I decided to forego a rental tux. I was all covered up by a gown anyway. To think if I was still in England, I'd still have another year left.

Students actually rent tuxes to wear under their graduation gowns in Canada, eh? Since it's sunny in your picture, I'd assume this is a daytime event? Us sloppy ass Americans are more practical and just wear jeans and a t-shirt.

Underneath the gown? Hm, my school had a proper dress code which they enforced pretty strictly. Made a kid find shoes because he came with sneakers.

Thanks nicelynice. Yeah, we have a history of dodgy keeping. Most recently Paul Robinson, but also Seaman being caught out by Ronaldinho in 02.

BB1 some students rented tuxes, most of my friends were wearing black suits. We were told to wear a dark jacket and trousers and a white shirt.

I went to work wearing a beater pair of desert boots but brought a pair of white bucks with me to change into. Was putting them on when a teacher told me to keep my boots on as they were darker. Some students walked across the stage wearing black af1's and vans!
