I'd just like to agree with Mike - the Wiretrap is the best shoe I've ever owned. I've got two pairs and I'm wearing a pair now. They're well made, comfortable, striking, you can wear them to work with a suit (and a black Timebomb and Why 3s) - what more could anyone possibly want?

They look the business - especially the speed lacers at the top.

The boot looks fantastic - and the open wall display looks good too.

Welcome back - and take it easy!

I know... they lack the true craftmanship you only find in a pair of authentic Fandangos. They're a nice try though...

At last! Fandangos on ebay!

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen - an Oakley black belt! I want one! Did they do a male version?

I don't think you'll be only one with one of those for long - it's very cool.

Oakley are branching out...

This can't be true - can it..?

Italy - I'm still waiting on one of those LE Oakley Italy world cup t-shirts from Germany.

I know! Why don't we all club together?! There's bound to be something in there for everyone...

I'd like to see him post that collection...

Once you go mac, you never go back... I got a powerbook two years ago and it's still going strong, with never a hitch. The new macbook looks great, the black especially so, although (as mentioned) it's not worth the extra cash - spend it on RAM instead. I must admit to having had a vision of owning a black OROKR with my black ipod, and whipping out a black macbook from a black SI bag... Plus, if you're lucky enough to live near an Apple Store, the support you can get from the genius bar is fantastic.

Whoops - try again:

...and Steve Jobs.

Thanks Adam! I agree with you about the strap - and the price is just about what I thought it would be.

Yes, my wallet owes my a great deal of thanks...

You're a braver man than me, Adam: I took one look and left in case I couldn't control my wallet!

Any idea of the UK price?

I'm delighted they've changed the sole. I don't know about anyone else who lives in the UK / northern Europe, but the performance on wet streets is a big deal for me. I finally got a pair in January, and the first time I walked on a wet metal drain cover... oops! Then, when I recovered my dignity and went into a book shop with a tiled floor... Squelch! Squelch! One of my pet hates is squeaking shoes, so I've been a bit disappointed (I have a pair of Hi-Tec Magnums and they've never given me grief like this) - although I still bought a pair of night camo asssault shoes 2 months ago...

I've just got a pair of Casings and I'm hoping they're going to keep me grounded.

Beautiful!

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this somewhere, but I was in the London O Store and they had O Rokr and... Time Tanks! I was quite impressed - I had to walk out though, before I asked about price or availability, in case I did something silly...

The Time Tanks looked absolutely beautiful. What a watch!

The clasp is off the kitchen sink... but what bag is this?

Considering the government famously issued guns that didn't work, I should think it's a (very wise) private purchase.

Yeah, good luck and get better soon.

Happy Birthday - and many, many happy returns!
