  Another vote for Swrve. I've been pretty much wearing almost exclusively Swrve jeans for over 15 years now.

  Only problem I have with them is the dye fades over time a fair bit compared to other brands. Would love it if they made some ever-black jeans as that's the only thing I buy other jeans for.

  Also "reinforced gusset" is a fun thing to say.

  Are there many games you want that are exclusive to it?

  I guess you had a regular PS4 rather than a Pro? Many of your existing games may now run higher res / higher frame rate.

  And then they let it go

  "Please don't go, we want to investigate you for a serious crime. Oh no you left, please, come back"

  Maybe they should have written the captain a more strongly worded letter.

  Or, y'know, seized the fucking boat.

• What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

  I want(ed) to be a hipster. The closest I came was during the pandemic when I grew a massive beard and rode around Douglas prom on my fixie.

  Because it was the Isle of Man no-one noticed or commented not one "you fucking hipster!" was uttered which made me sad.

  I got a mullet recently and have been disappointed by the lack of piss taking from my friends.

  STRONGLY recommend upgrading that chainring at some point.

  I went from a Stronglight to a Zen and it was like I was riding in a lower gear, except I was actually in a higher gear.

  Just got back myself, also thanks to Crow!

  Know what you mean about the presumed liability, was weird to not stop to let turning vehicles knowing that apparently they have to wait for all the cyclists to pass before turning.

  Public transport is also a bit shit there. I mean, you can get about on it easily enough, but its hot and always takes WAY longer than expected due to delays. Journeys that would take 15m by bike would take 45m by public tranport, especially if you needed to take the train.

  Also unlike 90% of the people in the queue I got in to Berghain so that really made the trip for me lol.
