The parka certainly proved it's worth over the weekend, was out all day on both saturday and sunday and it was pissing down the entire time.

It's the high modernism / collage type look borrowed from galleries etc where basically the less you try and the more piecemeal it looks the more edgy and deep it is. I do like how the main colour image is like a postcard just laid on top, then they slap the authentic Fifa hologram over the top of that :lol:

Absolute dogshit piece of design. It's the artistic equivalent of a fifa players attention span no doubt (not you RUK)

I wonder how many revisions of randomly positioned official FIFA library JPEGs it took for them to get there.

Guys, FIFA was only 50 quid, the rest was the flag.

Should've got it on PS5, where the value is more obvious and captivating.

Do not seize the LED light from the camera to lift may cause improper error

I really like the Chinese Amazon products, they are always identically perfected in terms of ecologically friendly (I.e. Low cost) packaging, glossy inserts, 100 word instruction manual, it's like exactly what you would get on eBay but actually trying in terms of presentation. THey are getting better because more often just Chinese businesses importing from other businesses in Shenzen but packaging and distributing in Germany or other European locations. They even hire English speaking support to answer the reviews and have emails like [brand]support1@outlook.com. Just do this on scale and probably raking in a lot of money. They know they will probably break quicker and arseholes will complain, but it costs so little it's hard to (I even saw one review reply from one of these brands saying, "Sorry you had problems but compared to GoPro our product is 10% the price. We will send you a free replacement.").

Just be careful so many of the positive reviews are bought because they include those "lucky ticket randomly distributed among every 10,000 order" telling you to give them 5 stars for a free gift.

I even had a "get free gift" instruction booklet with a screenshot of the Amazon review page that had "great alternative to a GoPro" typed into it, they know exactly what they are doing :lol:

Popped into Superdry outlet at Clarks Village on the last day before the shutdown.

£29 for the two items which was pretty decent thanks to it being factory outlet prices.

Also today, i've ordered myself a Boaty McBoatface 50p.
