8:55 PM Arp As requested by iP, here is a snap of Da Jaaackeeet:  It's not very thick, but that's ok because I don't feel the cold. I'm quite capable of going out at night in only a shirt on a freezing winter night (well, troosers too) without flinching. Also my feet are permanantly cold to the touch no matter what season it is. It's khaki, and has a high Chris Martin collar. FIngers crossed it will manage the transition to Spring without looking too 'coaty'. Stu mentioned at work today that it looks like the coat that John Rambo wore in John Rambo which I've managed to recreate using an empty bottle of stella and my Gap man bag:   Awesome! ----- Here's a little story about a guy called Arp. Arp wasn't lucky in love, in fact, he was the opposite. Whilst all of Arp's friends would go out and meet women (some of them nice, some not so nice), Arp wouldn't bother. Arp knew wasn't interested in the 'dating game' as such; he knew that his perfect woman was out there somewhere, and that one day he would find her. Naturally his friends made fun of him, and mocked him for not getting into drunken encounters with random drunken girls. Arp didn't really care, he knew that it would happen for him. "One day" he thought "..one day I'll be with her". A few years passed, and Arp was starting to grow weary; his friends were all in serious relationships and he was still alone. She never came along. He took a deep sigh and resigned himself to the fact she would never arrive in his life. Arp left work one Friday and missed his train home. He was always on time, and this was the first time he had missed it in years. As he was waiting for it, a beautiful woman ran down the stairs and hit her fist against the train doors on the opposite platform as they shut. She had missed it by seconds, and, like Arp, this was the first time she'd missed her train in years. Just then, a girder from the station roof fell and hit Arp. He was lying there face down on the floor, unconcious and spine crushed. When he woke in hospital, and the doctors told him he'd never be able to walk again. His breathing was severely restricted in the accident and his oxygen deprived brain left him lacking in many motor functions including the ability to speak properly. Leave a comment ::

Cool Jaaaaaackeet!
That is one seriously awesome jacket. Pity Arp didn't have one like it. It's coolness would have saved the day.
The thing about Arp is, he thought the universe revolved around him. He believed that good things were destined to happen one day, and was sitting back and waiting for it to happen.
Bugger.
Oh, IDV! You took the words right out of my mouth! It must've been while you were....
Dude, that is one helluva jacket. If I were a man, I would have to own it. Or one like it, wouldn't want to do you out of yet another outside-temperature-defence-unit. I'm loving the Rocky re-enactment, I can see him in it, even though he isn't, if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing :0)
The face/girder collision never happened - I'm free! I'm free!
iP - I'm pretty convinced that I am Rambo now. I just hope I don't camouflage myself to 'disappear' around the office and start taking people out. Actually, I hope I do.
