Last year, my girlfriend and i went to Lanzarote for vacation and while taking a break from the beach, we found that great store called “Pull and Bear” (for what ever that stands for). And since i’m always in trouble finding some shorts that i really like (most of them are ways too long or sport ugly prints or even come in camo), i was surprised that the first pair i spotted in there was just looking perfect.
So after 1 year wearing it, it kind of was time to find something new. Problem with that is, “Pull and Bear” thinks it is enough to offer themselfs to the Spaniards and mail order seems to be no-go policy.
Hi Manu,
No, no camera but your shorts. Hope you recieve ‘em before your birthday as the shippingcost is on me (yes, a birthday gift). Take care, Bramus!
Oddly enough, they do have one store in Antwerp, Belgium (don’t ask me why they picked Antwerp). So i had to convince Bram in Gent to hop on a train or something and buy me some shorts there, otherwise i think i would have taken a short holiday in Spain again just to get me the shorts myself (i know, it sounds weird, but thanks). Luckily Bram was able to activate the ESRS (Emergency Shopping Rescue Squad – which i wasn’t even aware of its existence to be honest) and found a post office around Gent which was not off duty 24/7.
The box arrived today, but as soon as i opened it, the first clouds started to darken the Frisian Riviera (after one early month of summer weather) and it almost feels like spring again. Birthday BBQ is now pre-re-located from the beach into my parents gardenhut. Well, at least we got a dishwasher there, hooray! — gotta stay positive, eh?
Bramus, you are great! The arrival of the shorts is already my biggest birthday gift this year! Thank you and thanks to your tough lady at the ESRS! 
PS: Add another one to “No, i never met him in real life. I met him on the web 15 years ago, but he is a good friend — just as much as the guys in real life”.
Ha, the lady at the postal service told me the box wouldn’t arrive until today or might end up arriving on friday. Great to see they arrived just in time (still one day to hit 34!)
And yeah, massiv thanks to the ESRS (Anouk) who lives in Antwerp and was so kind to buy’m, pass ‘m on to me to eventually end up in Sylt, Germany
