    You could check at 27 Rue Lecluse or the Ecole Israelienne for a forwarding address.

    I think he's most likely to be found at the Petite Roquette.

    Surely Cat boots are officially gay, and have been for quite a few years?

    Of course. It's not yet been put to the test in really hot weather.

    I wondered how he managed to wangle that job.

    After seeing that documentary based in his new employer, where it seems
    they only employ very camp men, you have worked out the mechanism he used
    to secure the job.

    I bet he's got Grindr on his iphone...

    Talking of which, did anyone think young Fry is taking the role of the
    next Humph just a little too seriously?

    I know of at lest two textiles which have better abrasion resistance then
    leather.

    The first is special kevlar weave used by Motoport in their motorcycle
    clothing - http://www.motoport.com/

    The second is Hi-Art, developed by Halvarssons, and used in Halvarssons
    Safety Suit. AFAIK, it's the the only textile full suit that is certified
    as PPE. :) (OK, quick google reveals that Rukka Arma-X also has a CE
    certficate, so it's another one)

    All these suits have one thing in common - they're rather pricey. So I ride
    in cordura. Good enough for my purposes. :)

    I was wearing one of these jackets last week when I had an off on the
    autobahn. There's a few holes in the outer, but it didn't seem to get
    through to the armour layer.

    That's bollox, Nige.

    I didn't even bloody own any leathers for the first 10 years I had
    bikes, and I think the only hospital visits I had were after broken
    bones.

    And when I crashed my gixxer thou on a roundabout 6~7 years ago,
    wearing jeans, I just skinned my knee.
