Dunno i would gladly go back eight years in time and buy them off him for £150 a bottle.
I just got a HTC Desire HD today. Looks pretty cool so far..
Re: Best things that you have bought
I just bought a new pair of dress shoes....expensive but should last for ages and should look very nice with my new suit.
I think I am going to look into getting a fine hat, perhaps a strawboater or a nice fedora :toff:
Eventually I want to get a Brooks Brother's hand crafted suit....I also would like to get a 3 piece suit as well....eventually, but now my focus is on a good top coat

We'll see about that...as soon as I can afford a Brooks Brothers' custom tailored suit I'll post a picture of it he other stuff is nothing terribly special though it seems mighty expensive now. In truth, my most treasured article of clothing is an authentic Smoking Jacket that my Great Uncle had but never wore (as when I found it the price tag was still on it...and it fit me perfectly and my Great Uncle was a lot smaller than me) the cost on the price tage was $30 which was a ton of money back in the day I'm guessing 1930's or 1940's. That along with my Grandfather's cigarette case/lighter has almost made me want to start smoking cigarettes on the regular....I usually will have the occassional cigar, but those times are few and far between.

You will look dapper, (that is cool in English terms)

I will avoid the obvious comment about those two things essentially meaning the same thing... ;)... but if he's a boxing fan that dapper may mean to look like Ian 'Dapper' Napa. Short, black and permanently wearing sunglasses.

No longer shall I think of you as a Fop Lyle. Your choice in suits now tells me you are clearly a Dapper Dan man.
As for me, I'm afraid I'm neither. I have one suit which lives at my parents' house and only appears during funerals or job interviews, and hasn't been worn in three years, as I am not particularly fond of either of those things.

Well I never used to like wearing nice clothes...I was always the kid getting the dirtiest and tearing things up. But now since I am in the professional world(well actually since my days in college) I get to dress nicely each day so I am more used to it.
My whole view on life is that there is a reason simple things or the old fashioned style of doing things is so great. Take shaving for example, though many strides have been made in making shaving better, easier, more comfortable...but to this day nothing beats a straight razor shave. I know not many (if any) of us have the time or skill to do that, but I'm just saying that's the old fashioned way and it's still the best way (when done properly). The same view can be held for cocktails, food, comedy, movies, and in the case of my postings style of dress.

You forgot you need the suit to go to court as well. :)
