Gosh. I had no idea that you were a lanky streak of piss, Psycorp

I wish I was a lanky streak of piss. The fact that I'd need to lose a good two stone to be a lanky streak of piss as opposed to a fairly well upholstered streak of piss grates somewhat on my mind.

How tall are you? Are your legs in proportion with the rest of you? I have a righht bugger finding most types of clothing- 6'7", 36" inside leg, size 13 1/2 shoes, It's a nightmare.

I'm not some freak with huge legs and a tiny torso Egon, it's all in proportion. Shoes are a nightmare, I'm size 15...

I'm a freak with short legs and a long torso. I'm around average height at 5'10" but my inseam is only 30". I get it from my uncle... he's also got only a 30" inseam but he's at least 6'1".

That would make you the right proportion in terms of body to leg length to be a champion swimmer

All the great - Michael Phelps, Ian Thorpe, Grant Hackett - had stumpy little legs

Just 3 pairs, 2 which are generally wearable outside the flat - just where do the crotches go anyway???

Much too hot for jeans anyway.

Count Zero: "100€? I think $50 is too much to pay and I buy a brand sold at the sporting goods chain store for $20."

that was my way of thinking too... every trip to the states (every 2-3 years) i'd buy 2 pair of $20 jeans... but now that i'm down to 2 pairs both giving out in the crotch, i realize the $20 pair lasted 2 years, and the 505's (about $35 these days) have lasted almost 11 years...

Levis do last (unless you get acid or stonewashed). The Austin brand I usually buy do wear out after a couple of years, but I have an easier time finding a correct fit in Austins than in Levis.
