Xanatic, you are Björk?
Don't be shy, we won't put you 'down'.So does anyone wear a Canada Goose coat?
Don't duck the issue.
n Britain, you are normally never more that fifty feet away from an indoor shopping centre or tourist attraction
... There's unlikely to be an official minimum size for a continent...maybe the threshold attainment criteria for such a label should be a hybrid compound of qualifying factors. Not just geophysical bigness....
Many years ago, so I have no sources, I read that Australia was considered an island and the biggest one there is.If the largest islands are to be considered for continental status, Greenland has to be at the head of the line.
Ermm...I shall think of this (perhaps not warmly) next time atop of Britain's only Arctic plateau.
I've noticed this brand too. The people wearing it usually look quite chavvy.I haven't noticed these but I have been noticing people wearing coats with something like "Super Dry Japan" or something on them and have wondered about it.

This is my idea of a coat
Ha, this is brilliant.It's a UK brand that has nothing to do with Japan.

The company's products include frequently meaningless excerpts of Japanese text, inspired by the common Japanese practice of placing decorative English text on items to increase their fashionability and appeal, a phenomenon known as Engrish. The company explained to a Japanese television crew in 2011 that they deliberately use simple machine translation to generate Japanese text, and that they are aware that the texts often have no meaning.[12] The Japanese text incorporated in the brand's logo—極度乾燥(しなさい) (kyokudo kansō (shinasai)?)—literally translates as "Extreme dry (Do it)", the text in brackets being due to the translation software used offering alternatives depending on whether dry is intended as a noun (e.g., super dryness) or an imperative, (e.g., dry this shirt out).

Or something we should really be getting hot under the collar about. It's better just to button it, keep it zipped, and above all not let it become a hang-up.Its not an eider or issue.
Are they actually a Canadian company?

Something which contains, surely is said to be continent....and conversely, incontinent when unable/insufficient to contain. I hadn't quite thought of this resonance.The concept traces back to, and has been emphasized the most among, residents of the single such 'continent' least justified to hold that status - i.e., Europe

... And what is 'Continental' in a US sense? When 'continental congresses' are referred to, either at a 1777 or 1812 timeline? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm unsure as to the significance of the term?
The JoJo bow, she says, is "more than just a hair accessory, it is a symbol of power, confidence, believing-ness."
Apparently the Jojo Bow is annoying schools now. I remember the Fergie Bow in the 80s. My brother was given one as a joke as he had long hair. There was also a time where we wore quite large thick ribbons but I can't remember if they had a special name. I had three and I still have them!
..but not it appears, a symbol of 'cognitive ability'.The JoJo bow, she says, is "more than just a hair accessory, it is a symbol of power, confidence, believing-ness."
...Each of these companies has gone mass-market and upscale over the last few decades. By and large their products are still of reasonable or higher quality (Filson's stuff is still superb), but anachronistic in terms of technology / performance.
On a related note.....after doing some related 'jacket sleuthing' online, I'm amazed to discover that Fjallraven (which I used to buy back when I originally was still hill-fit, in the 1980s) which was a brilliant Scananavian outdoor equipment manufacturer, is now also being worn as high-end high street fashion....
Take a look at 'Carp Fishing Magazines'. Ye Gods, talk about playing soldiers, it's just a fish, get over yourselves.I suspect that currently - at least in the UK - the worst offenders in the area of crimes against the wallet are in the so-called Bushcraft and weekend warrior...sorry...’tactical sportswear’ market.

(Oh, and seems they absolutely have to be described as ‘tactical’ – I mean, what exactly is a ‘tactical’ jacket: one that can organise an L-shaped ambush in a jungle at night, followed by withdrawal to an ORP and airborne exfiltration, all by itself...or is it maybe just that they have lots and lots of pockets?) ...
...Yes, it’s all relatively expensive – but I work on the ‘buy cheap...buy twice’ principle. I still have some stuff from the early 90’s and I’ve recently discovered that there’s a very healthy market for old-school mountaineering/outdoor gear on Ebay; sometimes it pays to be a bit of a hoarder! ...

I posted this yesterday over on the Good Stuff Online threadJust f*ck it: Wildly offensive English language t-shirts are apparently all the rage in Asia
