I wonder what the administrative costs of it all would be vs the expected gain. I am sure consumers will be impressed when their stuff sits at customs for a week or two because they implemented a new system without properly resourcing it the alternative is it relies on the honour system in which case the most popular retailers will be the ones who put a fake price on the item as is the case with some of the more popular laptop sellers overseas on ebay...that $2000 laptop just magically becomes less than the 1K threshold.

Every which way you go the only people benefitting from this are Gerry and the like, who rather than spending time reducing their internal costs prefer to just cry for the government to help them compete which flies in the face of the very free trade 'ideals' that allow them to import all their crap for sweet fa.

Word on the street has it that WW Chan is doing their first Australian tour next month.

The bad news is that it is only Melb and Syd (and I now reside in Brisbane).

Im not sure what the pricing is like these days, but highly recommended for any of you that haven't used them before.

I bought a pair of Kent Wang Swim Shorts, size 34, and they are a bit too small for me. I think they fit a 32-33 (not vanity sized at all - see measurements below).

http://www.kentwang.com/swim-shorts-dark-blue.html

Paid $75 USD + $13 USD shipping, so about $110 AUD all up.

If anyone is interested in them at a slight discount, let me know. Otherwise I'll do a return.

Shorts are brand new of course, and are essentially a copy of the much much more expensive Orlebar Brown shorts

Chicks from Brisbane who visit Nepal are so much more fun than their Melbourne counterparts those who don't.

Fix that for you. Hope the trip is going well (sounds like it).

love those double monks

thanks guys for the feedback re MTM,

An update on the Australia Post shopmate delivery service, my parcel was delivered to them on the 26th November I am still yet to receive it. They deny its lost claiming its in customs. I received a package on the 29th December from Monsieur Fox that was posted on the 23rd it was thorough custom in less than half a day.

After I find a job I'll probably order some M2M business shirts from SS (x5 white, x1 pale blue).

When our dollar recovers I'll slowly replace my 3 shoe wardrobe with Herring stuff.

And fingers crossed Jason will sell a red grenadine this year in a fina weave.

No light pink to make it 7?

I'm pretty well sorted for business wear these days, so my 2015 wish list is more in the realm of casual wear. This includes:

2. selvedge denim jeans fo ar fat bloke. Edwin seems the likeliest choice for cut, although that need a bit more research
3. pair of sneakers a la CP Tournament Lows. I have charcoal, considering maybe white or a dusky red
4. Long-sleeved linen shirts. Quite liking some of the BB shirts in that area.
5. Oxblood calf belt
6. My usual search for long-sleeved tee shirts that fit in the shoulders and sleeves.

All this is contingent on

1. Get a job.

First day in shell today. I think this might be the start of a beautiful, expensive friendship.

Now to figure out the care routine.

Spotted any double monks yet? (more drinks may help if only single monks are visible).

Edit: just noticed PS beat me to the joke, and had pictures. Doh.
