With leather is an allusion to American sports presenter Chris Berman aka Boomer aka Fred Flintstone

Deadspin"]

A friend of mine just told me he's getting married. When he gave me the news I immediately thought of the time we were in Scottsdale at spring training, because it's the best pickup story I've ever been a party to. It was about nine years ago, and I actually forget the bar. But my friend was seriously putting the moves on this somewhat attractive young woman, who was wearing leather pants and had a leather jacket draped over her lap. They had been chatting at the bar for about an hour, and my friend thought he was in the house. I had never seen someone work so hard for a score.

But just as he was putting on the finishing touches, Chris Berman walks by. And without even breaking stride, Berman looks at the girl, points and says "You're with me, leather." And the girl looks up, instantly recognizes Berman, snatches up her jacket and walks out with him, leaving my friend in mid-sentence.

ranting at his underlings, explaining Canadian aspirin, putting the moves on a staffer

Basically there was a price glitch on their web site that allowed you to design and order the custom glasses for about 1/3 of the price. Put my order in for a pair that would usually cost about 160 quid and got email back from them with invoice details etc. When they realised it was a cock up on teh web site they cancelled the order - which is what most organisations would do. But they then followed it up with one saying that as a sign of goodwill on their part they would send me the glasses as per the order free of charge !!

Total result :-)

That's awesome.

Especially as I imagine if they'd just honoured the original order you'd have been perfectly happy with that.

To give them you free is a very good gesture.
