clubs / gigs I seem to either

a) slump at the back with my coat on all night talking cod shit and getting very drunk. This usually happens when I am out with my mate Alan. We have been getting hammered together since 1986.

b) get right in there early in either a nice hardwax-related t-shirt or a nice black or white linen shirt (both of which I seem to have lost last autumn so I need to watch out for a Gap sale)

I'm quite keen to wear some long shorts in clubs this summer. Plus of course some of the more interesting uniqlo jeans.

I have a fantasy about going out clubbing in a black kilt. I have the legs for it and they look awesome. Pricey though. I was looking at some great ones on prince's street seconds before I broke my arm. Perhaps these two facts are related.

Cor, spring has come! Whole new wardrobe possible! Means I can dig out my fcuk lightweight grey military-style jacket! :cool:

I'm not saying it makes any sense, mind.

still! i find it upsetting that someone might loath my feet!

the only time i have come across similar strength of feeling was with an old friend from the countryside who literally found it the funniest thing to think about all the 'city-boys' with their poncy white trainers... it was with a heady mixture of disdain and amusement that he would look upon my feet

Mind you... cardigans. What the FUCK is that about?

See also - horizontally striped polo shirts.

You are not four years old. Fucking grow up.

Paul, if i'm ever somewhere i might bump into you then remind me to just wear a sack!

I think cardigans are hit and miss - they can look really forced. i like this one (i either own one or own something very similar), once you get over the fact it's being modelled by a waxwork of graeme le saux who's more suited to the annoying faces thread than this one:

Gap did some nice ones a couple of years ago - i had a dark brown wool one with pink stripes, but i ended up shrinking it in the wash. I have no beef with striped polo shirts either.

A well detailed shirt will suffice Tom!

I've really never got cardigans. Biggest menswear trend for years - totally leaves me cold.

Whenever I see horizontally candy-striped polos I always think "Boden Kids catalogue". Great on one of my babies - bit of a semiotic nightmare on an adult male.

Mind you, Gabriel Heatwave carries them off. Just.

The daughter freaked me out yesterday by talking about "aciieeeed" cos she'd seen it in the paper. Because it was twenty years ago.

"Have you got any records that go 'aciiiieeeeeed' dad?"

"Why, yes....".
I'm sitting in a cafe and just got unapproving stares when I laughed aloud and uncontrollably at this post, so awesome. hard not to love anecdotes like this!
