A vote here for Geoffrey Bean shirts, but only when on sale on Amazon for $30 or under.

I never thought of Amazon!

In the UK I wear TM Lewin / Charles Tyrwhitt shirts. Good value (Around £20-£25 for non-iron when on special)
In Australia I generally bought Van Heuson from Myer, but thought they were pretty exy really. I'd usually wait for sales and buy shirts in bulk

That's the exact same strategy as I had / have now

Never pay more than £20/shirt for non-iron with CT, can often get them during sale for £17.50/shirt.

I like shopping in Germany during August/September when looking for discounted summer wear. Found cheap Hugo Boss Shirts on sale for 20 euros. Tommy Hilfiger polos for 20 euros.

Also plenty of soccer gear from the previous season and World Cup/Euro on sale.

You can pickup TH polos in TJ Maxx in the US for about the same price too.

Sydney tonight & tomorrow night for VIVID. Bridge Climb for hubby and Joe (our American friend who is a Captain with Etihad - flew in from AUT this morning, so showing him the sites)
Anyone else in town this weekend?

Why aren't you doing the bridge climb Bindi? Its really worth it.

If she's anything like me I can understand why she's not doing the bridge climb. Anything higher than a footstool to stand on gives me the heebie-jeebies :shock:
From what I've seen on posted, Vivid should be excellent this year.

Charles Tyrwhitt shirts are available online here and are often on sale with a voucher for under $40 each. Haven't bought any from them but have checked them out a few times.

Have already done it twice so no need to spend the money. This is a treat for our friend. (shopping for me without hubby hovering.)
LOVE heights, climbed the tower - on the OUTSIDE at Macau. (while hubby cowered inside)

 

[Steady]

Is there a consensus on the best time of day to climb?

 

[Bindibuys]

Personally I like the evening climb, can still see going up, then the city lights when coming down.

 

[Pushka]

The sunset climbs are popular. But on a clear sunny day its wonderful also.

Great recommendation, I've been checking out their Australian advertising but was never sure if they are good or just marketing spin.

I would not be able to buy online.

I have size 46 shirts and some do not fit. They are too tight. Unless you have bought that brand before you would not know.

Geez the Victorian Police love to take their sweet time reversing a traffic fine and issuing a warning. Asked for a warning in March, had to pay the fine in late April and the fine only got reversed this week. Oh well got my cash and demerit point back, so can't complain too much.

Finally got 2hr parking in my street, which hopefully will stop people from the nearby hospital parking all day in my street.

I would love to stop train station passengers parking in my street now that they built a monster new carpark (at $35k per spot!!) but the council refuses as we "need to balance the needs of residents and commuters". I guess given they keep the parking inspector busy handing out fines, the council probably isnt in a rush to move them on...

Right then, though not something I'd be doing. Braver man (sorry,woman) than me Gunga Din

I buy the Charles Tyrwhitt shirts online here when they have a sale on and find them very very good.

Something else to look out for when travelling to Thailand? I think the snake did not survive.
