Re: ASOS
I love ASOS. I use the English site not the Aus one though, it works out cheaper and it's free postage

Re: ASOS
Hmmm. Asos don't look too bad. 27 quid for branded, designer shirts, and plenty of short sleeved ones too. Sort of like TK Maxx, but without the feel of being in a jumble sale.
I may order something, though I can't let my GF catch me buying more shoes - she already thinks I'm batting for the other team...

Last weekend we were shopping for a new laptop bag for a laptop he doesn't yet own. 
Even the iPad has its own Tumi.
Looking promising for the Aus site then!

Re: ASOS
Oh dear - I'm not that bad, but I do actually really enjoy shoe shopping - managed to buy 7 pairs while back in the UK in July - had real problems with the packing, which annoyed her a bit I think...

Re: ASOS
on the subject of shoes, do you think I need a new pair of work shoes? I bought them about 5 years ago I think, and they now have massive splits under the soles. the wife was on at me about it this morning. I told her I just wanted to get maximum value for money out of them.

That photo's reminds me of the special needs ramblers group I used to belong to.

There's always room for new shoes - imagine the fun you will have getting maximum value for money out of a new pair!

Re: ASOS
I do similar, but usually on my stopover in Singapore. This year was great as I offloaded a ton of luggage on The Geek, he came straight home and I went shopping for 3 days
Depends - are they good shoes? Otherwise OK? If they're Church's, Loake or the like, they've got a good few years in them yet with a new sole. Just go to a proper cobbler and not Mister Minit.

I never polish them, my wife sometimes does out of frustration

Re: ASOS
Likewise. I'm still wearing a pair of brogues I've had for at least ten years . . . new sole once a year . . . they're beginning to wear out but from the inside.
