Star Wars compression T-shirt: Use the Force
If you’re getting caught up in the whole Star Wars hype at the moment and you feel the need to express it through the medium of a compression base layer, JD Sports stocks these Under Armour Star Wars options. Presumably, the Force will be with you… always.
These are made from lightweight fabrics with 4-way stretch and they’re said to be fast drying.
They’re both from the dark side, though. There’s a white stormtrooper one and a black Darth Vader one. Yoda version there is not (sorry, but it’s a journalist’s duty to stick in torturous quotes and/or references when mentioning Star Wars; it's what they teach us at college).
Right, that’s enough of that nonsense. They’re 45 quid a pop. www.jdsports.co.uk

Yep! Soggy rim brake calipers and super-soggy dual levers (never had them on a bike of mine, obviously)- keep Death off the roads! At least it wasn...
Couldn't they have just shaved a strip down their shin and left the rest of the leg hairy, or vice versa?
It's bizarre as never noticed them on installation but the odd shapes concerned me when I just looked at them but they still look shiny and new...
Nice

Well, at least the dangerous driver who caused such life-changing injuries was suitably punished, sending a strong message to other bad drivers to...
That looks about as comfortable as sitting on a barbed wire seat would be.
