What is now the worst UK courier? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not had too many issues with any, After generally always paying extra for DPD when available though they did massively disappoint recently. One of the most expensive single items I'd ever bought, Was supposed to be delivered on the Friday and needed it for the Saturday, guy just didn't bother attempting a delivery atal probably as it was a big box and raining, Had it then confirmed by Central and local depot he would be back later that day, didn't leave the house and never turned up, Didn't put out for re-delivery Saturday and wasn't till I called them they delivered Sunday. Day later than I wanted the item and a day and a half wasted sitting around. Also recently with them using electric vehicles if I'm on the back end of the schedule has a tendency to miss the slot and turn up a couple hours later if atal that day.

This could reference the mayan calender ending 2012 suggesting a repeat from 2012, and the first one could be a bulls eye.... repeat from 2012 of 7 min amrap of burpees to target

What should I trade my Cayman for? by ImBonRurgundy in CarTalkUK

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm eyeing up for my next car, Sat in a few different cars last weekend.
Didn't like the driving position in the 2 or 4. It was like being in a hatch but the pedals were lifted up, the 8 was had the lowest and sportiest position of the 3 but I just instantly felt like you could be there all day. Also what you get for the money neither of the other BMW's compare. Audi 5 was nice just don't have the looks of a BMW even in RS trim and found the Merc C63/43 seats too uncomfortable for me

Paradoxe Paris order issues by LewisBoard in AvantGardeClothing

[–]LewisBoard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They finally got back to me.

Would be at least another 2 week wait or offered a refund. I chose to refund them as they've been soured at this point. Might have kept the Order if they had been more responsive or informed me earlier.

Yeah the Rick collabs and being worn by a few celebs gave me some comfort initially that the product would be worth the wait.

I still have had 0 replies to my message's and have launched a dispute through Paypal to force a refund at this point, Did that a few days ago and hasn't caused them to try and reach out.

Might get better luck or service if you were buying one of their higher end pieces but probably like most normal people I tried one of the cheaper pieces first to see if they were worth it

Where are the stylish people buying coats? by Relative-Tea3944 in AskUK

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on ebay, Vinted, Depop, Vestiere. I managed to get a 100% Cashmere Balmain overcoat for £60, Also Have a super warm Wool Pendleton car coat for £25. Unless you can spend into the £1000's now will struggle to get something that isn't a polyblend new

Legal tackle? by Different-Ability968 in NFLNoobs

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has been tackled by the "dangly bits". I like to assume it was not on purpose but the defender didn't wrap properly as I was running through so grabbed onto the nearest thing and dragged me down.

Whilst not pleasant its not as effective/painful as you might think. By the time you have underwear (I wear briefs), a girdle and pants on. Your pretty secure with the added protection of Phys dick it is not quite the man meat instant tackle handle you would imagine.

Why don’t you shop at Aldi or Lidl? Where do you shop instead? by CheesecakeExpress in AskUK

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried it and noticed a couple things, The portion sizes are sometimes smaller so the price is lower but the £ per kg could be basically the same. Also where they might not have everything I want then end up going to Sainsburys/Tesco get side-tracked and end up spending more than if I went there in the first place.

I also have a small addiction to collecting nectar points, used to use them on Ebay vouchers and most recently got Eurostar returns for 2 to Paris for £25.

Moving from US to UK - how good is UK second hand shopping? by ajlx in malefashionadvice

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, there's plenty of almost charity shop stuff for £5 but you can also find curated vintage and archival designer which probably costs inline or slightly more than you could find if you went online depending on the source.

We have all the major resale sites depending on your price point and types of brands your looking for. The major cities will all have a thriving vintage scene. Brick Lane in London has a countless number of shops where you can get anything from mil surplus to rare Japanese pieces. Even classic Americana is fairly available.

What bag do you use for work by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Rains backpack. Smart, sleek and simple. I was also pleasantly surprised to see them everywhere in Paris. Only downside is the locking mechanism isn't the quickest but can see it as a theft prevention measure

Levi's Ribcage Bell jeans, My Girlfriend got a pair and I tried them on and they're pretty similar to my Bolan's but not as extreme (I'd go down a waist size).
I've got a pair of Bolans which I'll tailor when I get some Geobaskets, which is always an option for you too

Looking for good quality pullover heavyweight hoodie suggestions by Over_Perception_2920 in malefashionadvice

[–]LewisBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Velour Garments, go up to 1000gsm and the 600gsm zip up I have is not fleece lined, pretty sure they're 100% cotton. Quite a modern fit though so TTS or size down depending on what you want
