2 suits? How long is the frigging baptism?

I took the plunge a few years back and had a three piece suit custom tailored for me. It fits me like a glove, as I haven't expanded or contracted since high school. But it doesn't work for every occasion, because I chose brown polyester, no lie. I look like a banker from the 70s, but I like to think I pull it off.

Nope. I absolutely hate dressing more formal than a t-shirt and jeans lol...

I had a suit in early high school but I grew out of it. Have not needed one since.

Weddings, funerals, court appearances. That is all.

I've got a tux for xmas work do's, and just bought a 3 piece suit for my wedding this saturday.
£72 from Jacomo with their 25% discount on first orders

i wear a suit everyday for work. I currently own 14 suits (seven summer / seven winter) so i can have two at the dry cleaners every week while rotating through five. Then I buy 2 new suits every 10 months and ditch the oldest. Even though i live in Philly, i have a tailor in NYC who makes them for me. The pricing all depends on materials selected and since i go through them so quickly, I generally get a medium grade. Custom suits are the way to go because a good tailor can hide some little weight changes.
Oh, i also own three tuxes. Not custom, just bought them off the rack but good names like Burberry, Hickey Freeman and Boss. Had them tailored as well...

I love suits! Most of my jobs i've had through the years requires me to wear a suit, so i don't really have a choice. But i love them so it's not a problem.

I wear them for work.

I own 2 suits, one black and one blue.
If anything I have two extra pair of dress pants to wear to rotate in with my khakis

I can handle wearing a suit, but not every day. Usually ill just wear a polo and khakis.

Swag!

So a while ago KanYe West dropped some shoes... now the Air Yeezy's those were kinda fail, but the KanYe West x Louis Vuitton... yeah.
I wanna get a pair but at the same time, don't have $1,000+ to blow on a pair of shoes that I'll grow out of in a month, so I have 2 choices;
1) Get soe knock-offs for like, $100 - $150.
2) Get another kind of shoes that look just as nice.
That's why I started this Thread. I don't wanna do Option 1, but if I have to, I will. So Option 2, can anybody help me out and show me some nice shoes that would go really really nice with skinny jeans?
Go to the nearest footlocker and buy yourself a pair of Chuck taylors. They´ll go for around 50 bucks, and they look great with skinny jeans.
I go the way of my ancestors and just don't wear shoes.
Just walk into a Louie store and demand every pair of Kanye West x Louie's they have in stock. That's what I did.... They were really generous!
Uhh. Chucks are soo... ehh. 8th grade.
Oh yeah. I hope you trip and a rock cuts off your big toe!
Hmm. Maybe I should. I'll go for it!

Evil Stepmother.
15, had a single mother at the time and she bailed, didn't wanna be a mom anymore. Lived with an older couple for a couple months then the school counselor helped me get emancipated to make it all legal. I was signing my own school paperwork and permission forms, bills, loans, and student aid papers before I could buy ciggs.
15 originally. My mother didn't like me spending nights with my GF of that time; so i moved in with her instead! Guess what i was doing at a time when i should have been doing my exams?
Anyway, that ended so i moved home until i was 17 when i moved out for good. Been supporting myself ever since.
Those of you that have a supportive family and good home life should stay there for as long as they'll put up with you. It's the easiest way to save money for your future.

Hell freakin yeah. Amen. It's cool to live out on your own, bring chicks back to YOUR place. But you'll be regretting that move out when you're paying for college, rent, electric, gas, insurance, booze and weed at college with the money you're making flippin burgers full time just being grateful they give you a free meal once a day. Chicks don't like dudes with no money, even if he is living at his own apt. Bring em home to the spider man sheets. Most don't care and Mom is alot more understanding than you'll ever give her credit for.

People usually move out when they pass out of school..
I passed out of school.. got into college in the same city so didn't have to move out.
Passed out of college and got my first job close to my home so still living with them
Will move out if my work sends me else where or if I take a job elsewhere
moved out of home when I was 18 for stydies and work then came back at 25 cause of financial crysis at my country. No job no money
Finally got a decent job and trying to save some money so i can plan my next move but it's not an easy thing cause my family bussiness is preety much ruined by this situation so i got to support them too
I'm 25 now and living at my parents house. We've been moving 3 years ago, now the whole family has to help out on that farm stuff, which will take maybe 1 or sometimes 2 weeks in a year so nothing special.
I do not have to cook myself which is probably the best thing cause when u get home after work, pretty tired and u have to cook - that's probably one thing that goes for days but not months or years
I'll stay maybe one or maybe two years here, then I'll find myself a place - atleast that's the plan, cause it's not always good to be here, and some day everyone has to go it's own way.
Wow interesting answers... I was 17 when I left. Dropped out of hs and started working 3 jobs...Couldn't stand my mom stealing all my weed and she hated me taking all her box wine and store brand vodka..hehe. but if I had a "normal family" id still be living there!

I'm thinking of moving out in a few years. I'm still in university and working, I'm 19 I turn 20 by the end of the year. My mom's always been a single mother since she came to Canada, so I want to be able to help her out as much as possible and even though I'm 19... I get spoiled, hahaha so I still live with her.

Not necessarily. My mother is the most shallow, obnoxious person I know. Not to mention racist and close minded.
But if someones mom (and/or dad is good (speaking generally here) THEN STAY A LONG, LONG LONG TIME... like til your thirty... Seriously. Do it.

Tim Hortons cup sizes?

Not sure how many people on this forum are Canadian but after about a year of planning my friends at YEAH! Films have put together some commercials in parody of Tim Hortons. This first one is a spin on the new sizes. If you guys enjoy them, I'll post the rest as they become available.
Large Hard
Hahaha. Good one. And I wish we had more Timmy's in the States. There are like 3 in NYC, but their coffee is SO MUCH BETTER than Starbucks. Actually the Timmy's in NYC tastes like crap. I got it once. I drank it in Canadia and holy ****. Best coffee I ever had.
LMAO!!!
now on the serious side of things...
all these "new" sizes are fake, it's just an optical illusion the actual amount remains the same as the old size large
Haha 10char

Not so sure about the new size being an illusion, As someone who always drank XL before I can say the new XL definitely has more coffee in it

I hate planes. Being 6'2" might be the reason.
I took a 9 hour trip by train to Niagara Falls, and I enjoyed it. I had internet on it, though very slow, and had A LOT of leg room. ANd it was cheaper than a plane.
Longest trip about 18 hrs, ~7,500 miles. 1 stop and wasn't able to get off plane for that stop. Long day!
I was traveling last week. I was flying home from Malta, so i "had to" fly to Rome, missed my next flight to Oslo, so i had to buy a new ticket, almost lost that flight too. Got to Oslo, had to wait for two hours there and then it was off to Bergen.
Total time = Around 12 hours (it could have taken 4 )
I love flying, and it's fun with free wifi 10000 feet up in the air, but i hate Airports. After this trip, i've added Rome's airport on my blacklist of airports to avoid in the future. It was the worst thing i've ever experienced. Stay away.
Speaking of Airports, the Dublin airport is awesome. It's like a Guinness Wonderland, with bartenders wondering why you are drinking a few pints of guinness at 5 in the morning.

Many a time I've been sat at the bar in an airport at 6am, waiting for it to open so I can start my week-long drink binge that involves a flight, a week somewhere hot and nasty, and then a return flight. It's pretty much drinks ahoy the whole time! I might add that last time I did that we were at the bar till 6:30 when our plane left at about 6:45. How dare the captain interrupt our pints!
I do love flying, but I agree with LM. Airports are a pain. Anyone been to the airport in Bodrum, Turkey? It was nice enough when we landed but it was like the most packed out oven in the world when we had a 3 hour wait for our plane on the way back. I was out of cash too so couldn't simply drink my way through it!
I actually like airports. I like how everything works there. They did loose my baggage at Heathrow though, which ended up going to France and getting to me 1.5 months later, and I was leaving Poland in 2 more weeks.
Also the Dusseldorf airport is nice and clean, a lot of walking though.
And I wanted to drink on the plane, but they had those tiny cans of heineken for $10, of which I only bought two, and on the airport I still don't know how much I paid but I gave the guy $10, and he gave me back €1 lol. On my way back, I somehow paid with USD that I was left with €15 which was enough for some awesome toast and 2 more pints of Guinness. the last pint I just took the glass, and went to chill at my gate waiting for the plane, and everyone was looking weird at me. I think it was 7 in the morning.

lol yeah, you do get some funny looks knocking a few back when it's not even double figures o'clock.
I like airports when they're fully open, and especially if they're air conditioned when in a hot country. My problem is we always go for cheap "lads" holidays and the flights before about 7pm are always the cheapest. We get to the airport typically about 3am and there's nothing open except a coffee shop that doesn't sell anything other than coffee, tea and yesterday's leftovers. Now that I don't like.
Bummer about your luggage at Heathrow. I've thankfully never had that happen yet. Hope it never does!

Well my stuff was lost because my flight from JFK was late 3 hours because of heavy rain and a fuel spill. lol. I had to wait in a line for 2 hours to book a room in a hotel.

I searched and didn't find a thread like this, so i figured i'd start one.
As stated in the title, this thread is for people going on vacation/traveling to places. Post your quires about a city or country here. Need some recommendations of places to visit, post here.
I'll start, since I'm going to New York, Philadelphia New Jersey and Boston next month, I need some recommendations of some places to go. I will be going with my family, so any places that are family friendly will be welcome.
Thanks in advance

I think it's got something to do with taking time off work and then travelling to places where you don't normally live. Rumour has it people crowd into public transport and onto planes, and then arrive at even more crowded places to spend a week or two crowding into 'tourist attractions' and queuing to see things.
And they pay a lot of money to do this.

Strange isn't it? When i drank i could usually find a pub/restaurant/shop within a mile or two of where i lived. Never had to jump on a plane to find alcohol. Or food for that matter!
Apparently some people go for the 'sun'. Funny thing is, i've noticed that the sun often comes to me, wherever i am at the time. They'll kick themselves when they find that out!

			
				
Also, i hate the sun. Travel Agents should sell 'Rain Breaks'. Perhaps a week or two to the Amazon during monsoon season. Now that i could get on board with!
