I'm late commenting as usual - I wanted to leave your post up until Bob came home, on account of the Social Secretary and me spotted some relevance to him in it which we thought he might enjoy (he didn't). How typically parental of us. Unlike Rol I rather rate thongs though, which probably makes me a pervert or something.

Mind you he probably is a virgin in those jeans as they probably act as contraception in more ways than one!<BR/><BR/>LucyFishWife - that is indeed revolting, even for a DJ! Interesting about the belt removal/shoplifting theories, I hadn't heard of those.<BR/><BR/>Rebecca, thanks for dropping by! Funnily enough after all I said I realise to my horror I am often pulling my waistbands up as while trousers always fit in the shop they seem to get progressively looser on me as I wear them. However they don't quite look ridiculous yet, so I think they're safe for a few more wears.<BR/><BR/>Kaz that is so funny! And reminds me of the flasher I encountered in a subway when I was 18 walking to the cinema. Determined to ignore him I walked by, head in the air. He grabbed my arm, I whacked him with my umbrella and my last memory of him is him scuttling down the subway with his jeans around his knees, like the crab he was!<BR/><BR/>Garfer - a man with standards - good show!<BR/><BR/>Steerforth - you remind me of my erstwhile campaign 'Periwigs for all Men' With velvet pantaloons and dandified fopwear incorporating silk hose and buckled shoes, a lady would be spoiled for choice indeed! I hope you are keeping your end up for Lewes as it were! Good excuse to dress up at least when Bomfire night comes to town! The Fawkes-wear shops must coin it in.<BR/><BR/>CB1 - Every year on Ascension Day small boys come to my workplace to be rained upon by hot pennies in the front quad (harking back to the cruel custom of throwing pennies at the poor) and they grow scruffier every year with slacker school uniforms. Inflation no doubt - they should start chucking hot £1 coins at them.<BR/><BR/>Sagittarian, I do feel for you! Perhaps the jeans are a warning indeed not to trust their wearer.<BR/><BR/>Oliver, sounds like your flatmate appalled even the unfussy fashionists of Leamington (sorry Steve!)<BR/><BR/>Rol, isn't it ironic that it's always the chubby girls who do the crop top thing? In fact it's bizarre how many people you see wearing clothing emphasising and pointing veritable 'flashing arrows' at their worst physical assets, rather than enhancing their best! Too-skinny girls also look terrible in figure-hugging clothes as they have no figure to hug!<BR/><BR/>RB - I do share your feelings about sexy clothing - if only from a purely aesthetic point of view. Re the rest certain fashion crimes just should not be committed!<BR/><BR/>Moi - I'm pleased to have passed on some ammo in your war against the albuturkeys!
