Probably some snazzy software could accurately capture using a phone or web cam. When shopping, your browser will auto fill your sizes from your Dimnsionizer \ Measurator account.
Maybe some B&M retailers, who do significant online trade, could host measuring booths, equipped with all singing all dancing sensors, to allow quick login to add or update one's statistics.
Fully expecting it to be done already. Should be easy enough to monetize. Could save online retailers a tidy sum on returns processing.

That other landlord management stuff sounds headwrecking. I think a part of the problem is that many people just don’t fully grasp how apartment buildings should function. They see the body corporate/management compay as some mysterious building owner asking for money.
it’s not helped by Dublin planning laws that stifling good apartment design in favour of low rise units of mini houses stuck together.

Originally posted by Lazare View PostWas looking through an external hard drive and all I can find is six measly photos of my time in NY for 9/11.
Have a few physical photos somewhere but not sure where.
Definitely had a digital camera with me at the time. Was probably too dumb struck to be taking pics.
That day's plan had us on the top floor of the South Tower at lunchtime. Mad to think.
Was inside the ground floor of them about 13 hours before it happened.
Luckily one of her party was dragging her heels and they were 30 minutes later than planned on the day which made all the difference. They still got caught up in the chaos but avoided injury or worse.
She used to get very tense leading up to the day and all the docs and tv coverage didn’t help although she worked through some of it with a professional which helped.
But the good news is we’ve gone and redefined what this date will mean in future for our family as V2.0 arrived at 4.46 this morning. Apparently this means I have a gentleman’s family!

Russborough House is a stunning track, mostly trail and grass. Tough enough uphill finish.
Great to bump into you Paul.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Unreal V! Delighted! Prob wouldn't settle on the V2.0 name though. There's a lot of road in that one for the new kid to hold over V1.0.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Lol Mayo again missing goal chances galore. Congrats to v4v a gent. The night of sept 11 I was in a casino in Cairns had booked flights to Bangkok the 13th. Was down 800 dolls case deuce went on a heater on poxy black jack. Few hours later barely able to walk rocked up to the cashier bundle of chips 14400 dollars in crispy green hundreds. Woke up hungover to the shocking news. Met two lads I knew on the street next dat day asked are they out tonight said stone broke told them I had a solution. Brought them out gave them a 100 each and bought every drink. Met up with a girl I was seeing in Australia in Thailand even with all that cash for a backpacker was miserable it didn’t go great.. Could have done so much at the time but if the head and heart are gone what can you do.

That wasn't a lucky win, if you run that 100 times Tyrone win most for sure.
Someone explain the decision to go for the point in the 96th minute

Mayo always miss loads of chances, that's what having bad forwards leads to. Tyrone missed plenty themselves, if they had been level par for their chances straight after half time the Mayo penalty would have been nothing more than a chance to get back in touch.

Exactly Tyrone were no great shakes in attack either. Both were average. Cant see Kerry doing too much either. Dubs take it back easily next year imo :-)
If we had half decent management we'd probably win six out of the next ten and only be reasonably content about it.

I meant to ask you (or any other bike commuters) how do you manage shirts going into work?
