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.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
