my mates and i were chatting in the pub; and the subject was that only fat people wear tracksuits, and big trainers, because nothing else fits them...I asked why big trainers and they said, for their big fat toes. Question being, Is it true. Is ther an army of hooded tracksuit fatties .whose only exercise is moving their mouths,chewing?

This chap has a valid point. Just because you?re a bedraggled urchin or grimy ruffian with more chins on your neck than zeros on your bank balance doesn?t mean you shouldn?t make an effort when you step out for an evening at your local JP Winterbottoms.


I for one am currently resplendent in a outfit the procurement of which was almost entirely gratis consisting as it does of the satin evening shirt from my graduation party, gold serviette from last year?s Christmas dinner serving as my cravat, crocheted posing pouch fashioned out of the doily which I liberated from its decades longs subjugation upon the arm of Aunty Meredith?s wingback and snakeskin cowboy boots which fell off the back of a lorry in the Old Kent Road area back in ?98.

Cheap clothes? Of course. "If you're allowed to wear jogging bottoms, why aren't you allowed to wear pyjamas?"

So if Johnny Fingers out of The Boomtown Rats went in there for some gin and fags they wouldn't serve him?


I don't think so, they'd be fawning all over him, thrilled at having a celeb in their down-market outlet.


The manager of the store would serve him personally and would probably escort him to the head of the checkout queue, likely as not shoving women, children and even the halt and lame out of the way.


Probably.


It's one rule for top-flight rock stars and one rule for Elaine Carmody, 24.


SHAAAAAME!!!

While we on the subject of fur knickers (and I believe that we are) I have today come upon the knowledge that the protagonist, deuterogamist and many other supporting characters of the Masters of the Universe, universe were so completely derivative of those from the world of Kull of Atlantis as to actually be plagiaristic.


It?s not everyday that a man has to face up to the fact that the fantasies in which his boyhood mind adventured were based on deceit.

Tracksuits are meant to exerscise in.to absorb sweat when your moving. To wear them otherwise, slopping around in,and general wear is just crass,the bellys expand with the elastic waist. Generally they dont look good socially, there not very uplifting for the wearer.they are ugly ,and the people that wear them most are people who do not move much.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
