Completely wrong in my case. In one particular shop in Crouch End, the manager gave a talk about his current line up of jeans, why they were special in terms of fabric and manufacturing. He also played some great Soul music during the time. Just goes to show how people with great taste in music have great taste in clothes. I'm pretty certain ????s will confirm this.


@Ms B


I believe in self-empowerment and my comments on stylists were geared towards your self-empowerment.


I also fully agree with your comments on bullying and a group of people bigging themselves up on this forum thinking they have a god given right to be the forum's mouth piece. The other thread involved passive aggression towards me but at the same time they were exposed for being a group of people bigging themselves without having any particular skill, talent or knowledge themselves.

I can confirm this for you UDT. ???? dresses in the finest Italian suits with a high thread count and silk content. He knows too well that the mix of fibres should be sufficient to maintain the shape of the cut whilst cooling in summer and providing a subtle aesthetic/luxurious feel. But catch him on a Saturday and he looks like a man who's been dragged through a Las Vegas poker house via Sports Direct.


His taste in music is however always impeccable.

UDT and new best friend ????, get ready to tear up the Lane...

''Yeah, but are you sure this boot polish won't wash off in the rain?''

Nah, Loz, only the style challenged thinks that.

I am most definitely style challenged! But not really too bothered by the fact.


I don't think soul music's crap or pretentious though. I really like a lot of the northern soul stuff (not really a fan of disco or all that 70s club soul stuff though).

Everybody's taste = different


Different taste does not = superior.


A lot (not all) "commercial music" is commercial because it's good and a lot of people wanted to buy it and listen to it. Not all commercial music is produced by the likes of Simon Cowell.

Indeed and many of us learned a long time ago that if you buy your clothes at Asda you have a lot more money to spend on Genesis tapes.


As demonstrated by the picture you posted earlier.

Show me a commercial music bass player who can play the bass better than Louis Johnson?

Back on topic.


I'm pretty certain I will never go into some west end shops because they are playing really loud, crappy MTV muzak. It's supposed to entive people in but just has the opposite effect on me.


But that's because I'm that 35 year old guy still wandering around River Island gradually realising that I cant wear any of it any more (and should have quit at about 27). When you get older it gets much harder so most people (if they ever cared about clothes) just become boring and play it safe. A personal shopper sounds poncy but they can help with that and find stuff in places you wouldn't normally go and break you out of a rut.

You think you have "special taste" in that you are somehow more enlightened than others.


Pretentious Bollox.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
