Elvish, I'm somewhat keen for the breakfast if you and or others are still interested.
On double monk have we heard anything on prices?

Was a pleasure Plestor.  For someone who is still new here and still learning a lot, todays catchup was yet another learning experience. 

Look forward to the next one.

Thursday was a 38 degree day here in Melbourne which meant it was still pretty warm by the time we got to the bar. When I got there, CheckStar and Lennier were already well into it.  Eventually, we were joined by Appolyon, Akula, California Dreamer (good to see the shoulder has healed) and Aaron from Herringbone. All very good company and the drinks flowed. The talk went all over the place from food to matters sartorial to Appolyon's previous track record at The Aylesbury 

The night passed pretty quickly in a blur of alcohol and banter and Appolyon and I stayed on for a few drinks after that.

I wish more people could have turned up. Still, it was a pretty decent crowd and a great night.

Thanks to CheckStar for organising it!

Good to hear that everything worked well GN!

A guy from work made this Click Frenzy parody using the Hitler scenario:

Enjoy :).

The Wallet to carry the minimum.

After reading hear about various Wallets and Bill folds and whingeing about postal charges  I ended up purchasing this through fleabay which holds 3 Cards Credit/whatever a nice concettina  section which will easily hold some folded cash and some loose change.

I don't want to be rude, but I and others always have the same message, if your feet are in any way a bit hard to fit in grown ups shoes - don't order online - go and get fitted - in a low to mid range shoe first and then SEE HOW IT GOES before you buy more on that same last or brand or online or in shop.
There are plenty of good brogues in Loakes lines. Sure you won't get a picture you can post on WTFexpensiveshoesI'mWearingToday but you will have some high quality shoes that will look good, wear well and fit you.

Thanks; had a sleep and tried to figure this out last night (shoe-crazed-persons-worst-nightmare) and decided to send my tracing to Herring :)

EDIT:

Gil; what would you think feels sexier; shell or calf (personal preference)?
