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.

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
