Mine were green, 6 buttoned high weighsters, > you could hide a lit Number 6 in the pockets when > you bumped into your mum's friends Ditto - Brown and cream six button high waist with buttoned turn down pockets (in cream to contrast the brown trouser) and spanner pockets half-way down the thigh. Made of the kind of material that - if you dropped a fag on it - melted rather than scorched. Worn with platform shoes, butterfly-collar shirt and checked 'sports' jacket (both in variations of brown) and hands bedecked with two or three stainless steel rings that you lied to girls about and said you'd made them in metalwork class.
  2. Officially 1hr 7mins too late for birthday wishes - so allow me to be the first to wish you a belated happy birthday and a relatively pain-free breakfast.
  3. I shouldn't worry - yes there is one flying low over that way but only to try and trim back some of the hedges, the others are practising formation flying for the opening of the new gym.
  4. Kennington Park Lido
  5. dammit - thought someone had finally had brilliant business idea of breakfast curries, oh well.. back to the fridge.
  6. forgot to say I also occasionally wear an elasticated, gaudily patterned snood or bandana and now that I have seen Ben Westwood's 'riding coats' I shall be doing my best to acquire one so I can wear it wear with my Akubra. *does unshaven impression and makes whip- noises*
  7. point taken squeaker... Witch Doctor Bump - The Chubukos (ETA: On the basis of the title and the Munchkin chorus I play my Joker) Ghost In My House - R. Dean Taylor What - Judy Street
  8. A Fashion Editor doing a puff piece for M&S just because it was their 125th anniversary - the swine. I believe your unproven scattergun approach to conspiracy theory and having looked at her other articles can charge that the Guardian is clearly also sponsored by Versace, Dior, McCartney, Lagerfeld, H&M, Moschino, Reiss, McQueen, Sarah Burton, Marc Jacobs and the colour Orange. She even did a similar puff piece piece on a bag maker of all things - typical fashion editor. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/19/mulberry-luxury-brand-sales-up
  9. Hmm hardly M&S but not really geek chic either - just another journo desperate for his mummy to see him in the paper.
  10. Don't tell me M&S pants are made from recycled Guardians UDT!? So THAT'S the intrinsic link between them. Cunning.

I suspect you are about to be PM'd all kinds of bribes, blandishments and offers of marriage and would like to congratulate you and say you lucky, lucky, lucky sod.
  12. I don't think dog owners and child owners are all that different in the park. A dog owner may let his/her hound off the leash and able to approach passers by without realising the passer by may be afraid that this dog will attack or bite them. A child owner does the same except the fear is that the child will run into the passer by's legs/shins and be knocked flat and end up crying - both situations are uncomfortable for the passer by and both could be avoided by keeping the animals in question under control. Both are noisy and smelly and impossible to love ouside of their immediate family - which does not stop their respective owners imagining that their dog/child (or dogchild) is universally loved and admired. Dog mess is not the dog's fault any more than a soiled nappy discarded in the bushes is the child's and the annoyance caused by a continually barking dog can easily be matched by the screams of toddlers turning the park's cafe into another playground. And I have seen both chase after/run blindly towards cyclists leaving the latter in peril - on these occasions breaking the speed limit should be permissable.

Post pics Can't do that Franki - am too busy working on a three-quarter length skinny-jean trouser that can sit halfway down the thigh and is part shell suit and part stone-washed denim (of course my long hair keeps getting in the way so I tied it back into a ponytail which I am not sure whether to tuck under my baseball cap or through the hole at the back) and now have to change the whole colour scheme so it matches my football shirt. But keep it under your bucket hat eh?

I think citizen has hit on the raison d'etre for putting anything off. Don't know whether it's some mutation of Sod's law or a realisation of the myth of the Hydra but it does seem that as soon as you fix one thing, or attend to one thing you have been neglecting, another bigger task takes its place. We acknowledge this - allbeit on a subconscious level - and seek to break this cycle of misery by refusing to be drawn into the trap of doing the thing at all and yet - lest fate punish us for a downright refusal - keep alive the promise that we WILL do 'the thing' at a later date and so are able to bathe in the glow of the righteous and go to the pub with a clear conscience.
  16. Had to lush - just to see if you might do something unpredictable. nope.

Quite right - I was lazily and ignorantly following Fabricio's post and thought he was referring to the current/recent slew of martial arts films that seemed to follow the themes/styles of older HK productions. Have to admit though that I am not aware of a similar group of Korean films so perhaps you could tell me what they are? *smacks forehead and waits*. Also - now we've established their true provenmance - am surprised nobody else feels Tony Jaa's efforts worthy of further mention.
  18. Chippy Minton Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It wasn't pointless from the RMT's point of view > as they had to strike to in order to keep the > mandate valid and therefore to allow the strikes > to happen next week. Exactly - these are measures that all unions are now forced to take to satisfy legal requirements thanks to government's anti-union legislation. They are only as absurd as the legislation itself... not to take such action would have left RMT open - should they have attempted strike action without a further ballot - to the same kind of injunction BA tried in May last year. Now the RMT hors d'oeuvres are out of the way we can get on to the public sector entr?es.
  19. aaah at last, a thread for all the judgemental straight laced old-before-their-time banker/clerk/civilservant/office drones. How about posting your OWN fashion fuck ups and not adopting the boring style magazine dictats (men/women over 50 shouldn't.... men/women who aren't stick thin shouldn't... life belongs to the young... etc) *dons three quarter length trousers and tracksuit top with big logo, tucks ponytail under baseball cap, slips on over-sized crocs and - making sure pants are showing - goes to library for book on steam trains*.

"you are the worst kind of people and lower the tone of this forum,trying to browbeat people for their views" What?! Browbeat YOU roTta? Ah well, I suppose it's better than massive generalisations and a seemingly embittered attack on all other posters on this thread from an extraordinarily paranoid p.o.v.
  21. [quote name= Posted by: Fabricio the Guido Today' date=' 08:17PM I think one strand has come back strongly in the Korean flicks] Very true - The Ong-Bak films and Warrior King (Tom-Yum-Goong) are huuugely entertaining for anyone reared on Big Boss, Fist of Fury etc.
  22. (for the middle aged men who turn up in shirts with butterfly collars) Tiger Feet - Mud Daytona Demon - Suzi Quatro Little Willy - The Sweet

Quite right - old tins of spam can give rise to BOTulism
  24. I was going to do a pun based on dyeing and curtains..... but it's getting late
