To answer a couple of the questions quickly without entirely derailing the thread; Yes they're legal and yes they can be dangerous if misused/combined with other drugs (they increase your heart rate - combined with viagra they can be lethal).


Zips, now there's a fastener you can rely on. They do have their ups and downs though. Velcro maybe? I can't stop giggling.
Oh I'm hooked on velcro... ;) Waits for groans....
Coincidentally the guy who invented velcro has just died.....RIP. ;)
Ahhh, I didn't know sorrry.

I'm not sure if you're joking mate, I certainly was, there's a ripping sound when you open velcro.

I thought maybe I'd overstepped the mark a bit in view of the chaps death (I honestly didn't know) and I wouldn't have wanted to offend any of the family in case they stumbled across this thread.

You're ok, he died 25 years ago or so. Funny that velcro is the one fastener that trouser flies are never made with...wonder why?

The button ones were so much better than zips, I've bust about 3 or 4 in the last year, mosly just kneeling down, and I'm replacing them with heavy duty upholstery zips.
