(I think he is supposed to be in his late 30s/early 40s in the storyline.)<br /><br />But the fussy matriarch-neo didn't say that flat round ones are not appropriate for guys. Or maybe the policy is more flexible when it comes to grown-up boys.Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-82370478109312564652011-01-27T22:43:09.839+08:002011-01-27T22:43:09.839+08:00Hi Phil,
