Man, I can hop in the car and be in Amsterdam in 20 minutes but I wouldn't go even if you pay me 1500 euros. :messenger_grinning_sweat: Hate that place.

ENJOY!!! :messenger_heart:


At best i can offer you one (hundred) fat spliff and a dinner in an italian place where they do exceptional pizza.

It would be my pleasure to hang out with some gaffers.

I've been almost everywhere in Italy but my favourite pizza place is this join in Firenze:


Whereabouts in Italy are you from?

Send me a priv message when you in NL, I might force myself to go to Amsterdam. Can't promise anything, I'm a family guy now, life got more complicated lately! :messenger_heart:

I've been to Trapani, Castellammare del Golfo, Catania, Palermo, Leonforte and surrounding areas. Beautiful vistas but yeah, it can get pretty rough. I've never seen so many homeless cats and dogs. Shit covered sidewalks everywhere.

But being absolutely shit faced in fog covered Erice is one of the most surreal experience of my life. Good times.

I just booked a flight to Maui because I saw a great deal on flights

Unfortunately prices on hotels/air bnb are pretty nuts right now, so this 2 week trip is gonna be pricy

Wife has never been and it’s been about 10 years since I’ve gone so I’m still pretty excited
I was in Maui in December. It's ridiculously expensive. If you're staying near Kihei or Kahului, there's a killer restaurant on an old planation with a very cool gift shop worth checking out. Most notably, they have a 3-course meal for $24 during lunch. It's called Cafe O'Lei at Millhouse. I would definitely recommend a reseveration.

Let me know if you want any other details.

last thing i bought was an app from the MS Store.

the app is called Cider. it's an app for listening to Apple Music. it only cost 79p. my spotify is about to end in a couple months and i got a 2 month free trial of Apple Music so i'm checking it out (again). Apple Music is fine on my iPhone/iPad but on Windows I need to either download iTunes or use the web player and both of them suck ass. Apple hasn't bothered their arse about making an official Windows Apple Music app so i need to rely on some unofficial app. It's a little buggy but much better than the last time I used it. I'm seriously considering ditching Spotify after 12-13 years.

today i also bought some postage to send a Switch game (Super Smash Bros Ultimate) that i sold over ebay. i bought it when it came out and sold it. bought it again and didn't bother with it lol. i got about 65% back of what i paid for it.

went shopping today. bought food and alcohol. nothing exciting :messenger_tears_of_joy:
A replacement battery for our vacuum. Exciting news, more to come.
what vacuum you got?

i have a dyson (not sure what model). the battery isn't easily removeable but you can with some screws i think. i've had it about a year and a half now i think and i'm wondering how it has aged. my partner has a habit of sticking the thing on at max power all the time even on the non carpet floors. that setting drastically reduces the battery life. i think it's rated at ~12 mins on the max setting. the setting it SHOULD be on those floors the battery should last 60 mins. i hope i don't need to find a replacement battery soon!

A new manbag.
Dude... I used to walk around with shit in my pockets -- bulky ass keys, bulky ass phone, etc. (Mostly an issue during the summer; every other season I often wear dressy sports jackets or other things that make the situation better).

But a few years ago I got a manbag, and that shit straight up changed my life. I don't know what the hell I was doing prior to getting one.

One of the best purchases I've ever made in my life.

I like backpacks for not killing your shoulders, but the problem is no matter how expensive it makes you look like a high school student, which is not what I was going for.

Well I get what your saying although I don't really care. My main issue with backpacks is back sweat =/

This style has been going on for like 4 years now in Holland. Mostly a fake Louis Vuitton worn to the side

I have a feeling he'll have a similar answer lol
Yeah, I'm a sweaty boi too. No Deuter Aircomfort is going to save me.

But, yes, there is also zero way that you don't end up looking like a high school student or dork with a rucksack/backpack. Nor are you going to be getting into any clubs, concerts, nice restaurants, very fancy shops even with a rucksack. Manbags on the other hand are either find or will add to your dress. It's just one of those aesthetic things that rucksacks don't look good (except for outdoorsy stuff where they look and perform great).

Hell, even in high school I went off rucksacks. No bad feelings meant, but only the dorks/nerds wore them.

Now I live in Japan and it's the norm for men to have manbags. Sadly, I've had to import one from Australia as none that I could find here suit my tastes and wants. A lot actually have the same basic style (understandably as Japan is still a very conformist society). Also, summers are humid hells here.

Sorry, that got a bit deep.

tl;dr: no sweaty back and looks good.

I get what your saying man/ woman. For real. Doesn't mean shit to me being poor as fuck though. I always wanted to visit (a dream) Japan; summer, spring, winter. Used to watch only in Japan daily as well as rambalac. Style is huge in the inner city's isn't it?

Don’t they revoke your Italian card if they find out that you think there might be a better pizza outside of Italy?

I had my Dyson for 12 years now, and had to replace the battery after 3 years. Current battery, non Dyson one lasted 9 years so far. Bought another Dyson but plugged one.

Is this the one with evacuation pipe you put out the window? Send it back, those things are terrible.

After getting piano I decided to also invest in my health - got myself Garmin Forerunner 55 to start running seriously - the goal is a semi in September and full marathon next year in April.

I know they’re not the most efficient things in the world but even if this unit will cool down my space by 3-4 degrees it will make a world of a difference. Loads of reviews, mostly 4s and 5s, I’m sure it will be fine. I don’t expect miracles.

So desperately wanting to purchase a new gaming PC but will be waiting for the RTX 4000 series to arrive. In the meantime, I purchased a new Apple Watch. It's great! Can't believe I waited so long to purchase but here we are...

I want to upgrade my old apple watch but I very much like the patina it accumulated, this kinda shows the downside of a digital watch.
