This was a topic that was brought up the other day on TheSpeedoForum.com which I wasn’t aware of.
These speedos (worn by the British Diving team at the London Olympics) recently sold on eBay for 510 pounds – about USD$800. Holy moly!!!!
Would you ever pay that much for a speedo? Too rich for my taste. I think I should go and get a bunch of these made up and then I could quit my day job.
Here are some pics of Tom Daley (British Diver) who made these speedo famous, expensive and famously expensive.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it over the last couple of weeks that I’ve been working on www.TheSpeedoForum.com.
It has had a few different names but it is a free forum to discuss speedo shopping, speedo questions and post speedo photos of course. It has been a great little site, probably has been around for 5 years or so now and I can’t even remember creating it. The site gets a bunch of traffic and there are some great guys on there.
Unfortuantely, the spam has been drowning it over the last couple of months and finally I had to change things up, or turn it off.
Kip and I spent 15 to 20 hours on it last week (this is a free site – just like this blog) and we had to clean out a bunch of old members in order to clean out all the spammes. Some guys have been getting shitty about it because they have to spend 2 minutes and re-register.
Really?
I’m still spending time keeping an eye on it, yesterday I probably spent 2hrs on it and I’m getting hassled for it?
Let me know what you guys think. I’m half of a mind to shut it down for a couple of months and maybe start it up again in the New Year.
Don’t forget, it is because of you guys joining my site www.SwimmerBoyz.com that allows me to keep this blog and the speedo forum online and free.
Enough work, time for some speedo eye candy – I have a soft (hard) spot for this guy.
My bike ride and oysters at the Cliff House yesterday was fantastic. The weather was perfect and I love how they give you 13 oysters when you order a dozen… just classy.
I’ve been working all day today, boring but I suppose someone has to keep the economy ticking over.
Yesterday one of Kip’s ski areas opened, Arapahoe Basin, but he didn’t get up snowboarding because of the opening day rush (pic taken from their webcam)…..
It is strange that now I’ve decided on my movements for the next 6 months or so I’m really excited to get on with it. Even though I had such an amazing day yesterday in the big smoke.
Tomorrow I’ll share with you guys a huge update I’ve just finished on my site SwimmerBoyz.com – it is the biggest update I’ve done on the site in maybe 5 years. It is amazing and I think you’ll be as excited about it as I am.
I have a couple of photos to post today because I want to buy some new speedos before I head out to Kips so I’m in speedo shopping mode. I’m not sure if I like these or if I don’t. I have no idea who makes them either.
