I've just been sent this link by a friend. He's very excited.

Hmmm... is he gay?

[Bellenden Belle]

All power to him I say.

Must say in the Belle Carnell household, one is more likely to catch a glimpse of these:

I'm sure this vest will sell in truck loads given that most of us are, accroding to research, overweight.

[Jah Lush]

Oh my God! Look away.

Most certainly yes

My 19 year old son wears something similar to these but they are made by Puma, naturally.

[giggirl]

The model in in the photo looks extremely yummy, but not even he can make thermal long pants look hot. I'm hoping that the Puma ones are more flattering.

[Jah Lush]

Hmmmm.... Is he? (no better not).

So what do you then buy to counter any ill effects of compressing your viscera, blood vessels, etc?

They are, not sure if they are Puma possibly Nike, he wears them for footie training and I believe they are supposed to enhance sporting performance, how, I wouldn't know.

I'm getting a Gary Lineker Walkers crisp blow up torso for my next birthday. Even more impressive.

And it seems to work for him......

Well in Gazza

[brum]

Look carefully at his eyes... He's not actually looking at the girl - he's spotted a bag of crisps being eaten by a 5 year old next to her! Much more tempting...!

Also, on that M&S link showing the photo of the vest, I'm intrigued by the position of the grey bar with the word 'enlarge' on it..... sorry, just my cess-pit of a mind at work! ;-)

With apologies to Stewart Lee.....

As Gary Lineker's parents owned a fruit and veg stall in Leicester, the only explanation for his endorsement of Walkers crisps is that he is sexually aroused by morbidly obese children.

They are brill these. They are held in high esteem in the Quinnie household - however, I would not countenance going out on the pull in them.

Now I've looked at these links somehow annoying banners on the side of all sorts of websites are full up of men in bloody longjohns! No one has asked question yet but it's only a matter of time!

[dulwichmum]

I would feel cheated, if I were a single girl, if I discovered my man had been wearing one of those (the tummy tuck vests). It makes me think differently about chicken fillets and underwring! How incredibly thought provoking...

[HonaloochieB]

All well and good for a GMTV 3/4 hour feature, but unless they are available in XXXXL, they can be of little use to the truly needy.

[HonaloochieB]

They could flog a job lot to the Jeremy Kyle show, some of the women coming on for a DNA test might want to consider how their children will judge their body size in years to come. Girlfriend.

Seriously they might grow up stupid enough to take notice of Gok Wan as well.

I mean, you never know.

Well yes, quite, that was my take on it too. Women have been pushing themselves up and pulling themselves in since forever. Now its the boys' turn. Apparently.

[MrBen]

Can I just put a big shout out in these chilly days in the land of Victorian conversions for Ugg boots for Men? I have been road testing a pair since Christmas (indoors only please unless you are an Aussie surfer) and they have kept me super toasty about the house and are the most brilliant thing I have ever been given. Ever.

[giggirl]

Well done Mr Ben. And will you be buying yourself a shaping vest to go with your boy Uggs?

[MrBen]

I'm a bit asymmetrical so probably not - it shows too much!
