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.

    • Hubby had to retire from work due to serious ill health which had meant he was off work for several months at a time. His hospital consultant advised part time employment only, Signed on at Job Centre and asked them to send him on courses, especially IT has not computer literate or had a computer. Job Centre refused and insisted he applied for full time work even though he produced medical evidence from hospital and letter from previous employment detailing the reason why had medically retired him. He applied for the (then) disability allowance but was refused as not disabled enough and the fact he could work part time. Applied f or several part time jobs but when they knew of his medical history turned him down. That was 18 years ago. Disabled people who want  to work find it hard to find employment. I studied Disability and Employment in Holland as part of my degree and found at that time, the Dutch system more flexible. If a disabled person found a job part time, they still received a portion of their benefit as well as wages. If found a full time position, benefit suspended and were subject to regular reviews as to how they performed in  the job. If there were no problems, benefit was withdrawn, however if they found the work was not suited to their disability - they gave up work and went straight back to receiving their full benefit. If a disabled person finds employment, their benefits stop immediately. If they cannot maintain the work and are sacked, getting back onto benefits is very difficult, Give those who are able to work at least part time, the opportunity to have reduced benefits to top up wages.
