So it is rare for me to be recognised in the street.

With that in mind – I’ll tell you about being recognised on Friday at the pool.

You guys know my favourite speedo of all time is the black ADIDAS three-stripes one (the AussieBum Portsea is a very very close 2nd). I finally found a store (in the UK) that has them. I ordered them a couple of weeks ago and they arrived on Friday morning. I’ll tell you more about it next week but I couldn’t believe how fantastic their service and delivery time was. With my new speedos I was keen to go to the pool and test them out.

I don’t know anyone at the pool but there are a few familiar faces that I say hello to but that is all. After my swim I end up walking through the exit with this guy who is quite hot, mid 30′s or so and we had that awkward – you first, no you first, no no I insist you first, thing through the door. As we get through there he says…

“Excuse me. This is a weird question but you were the guy wearing the black ADIDAS speedos weren’t you?”

This was absolutely not what I expected him to ask but I answered in the affirmative.

“Again, this might sound really weird but by any chance are you Dave Evans?”

I was chuffed that someone noticed my favourite speedos and I’m always stoked to meet people who have met me online so I said yeah I was.

I thought that I was happy to meet a person who reads my blog but he was over the moon!!! He told me that he noticed my ADIDAS speedos and remembered that I loved them and put two and two together. Turns out we chatted for about a quarter of an hour in the carpark. He and his boyfriend (of 8yrs) are big fans and joined my site SpeedosNextDoor.com after they read about the ‘Speedo’ court case thing. Ended up he told me that he and his boyfriend/partner would love to have me over for dinner with some other gay friends of theirs that live on the coast who are also fans.

It was really nice and it was a meeting that left me feeling all warm and fuzzy – probably a good thing it wasn’t someone from the lawyers who are suing me – from the paperwork I got last night they are having trouble finding me…..

Here are some pics of my new speedos – enjoy your Saturday guys and go the All Blacks tomorrow night against the frogs.

I don’t know why but I have always loved this speedo. I’ve had crazier sex in my AussieBum Portsea (which made me start writing this blog all those years ago). Thing is…. I haven’t had one of these in my speedo collection for a while. A long while actually.

Does anyone know where I can buy one online?

Today I saw that Aqux have a new line out and I really, really like this black and blue speedo. Anyone I’ve spoken to about Aqux swimwear tells me that they are tiny!!! The largest size they give is 31″-34″ – I wear a 34″ as a comfortable lap swimming speedo but there would be ‘muffins’ hanging over the waist line if I wore a pair that were just 31″.

Since I have never owned a pair though I am tempted – they are expensive though. $90 from the Aqux.net site and $120 from SportsMenAsia.com – with postage to Australia that us US$140. That would be my most expensive speedo ever that is for sure.

I’m not quite convinced enough to pull out the credit card yet but I’ll keep you guys posted.

I’ve seen photos of them online before but I’ve never seen them in the flesh. They raise a while raft of questions… what happens when you get hard in that thing? Is the material stretchy enough? I suppose there is only one way to find out – so I just ordered a pair.

I’ll be sure to let you guys know what I think about them but I’d love to hear from you guys if any of you have worn Cocksox before.
