Yeah, true.
Yesterday when I was fried I was sort of happy and content and for some reason decided to adjust the painting cos it looked wonky and then it fell off the wall, brought some paint with it etc.
If people could just sit nice and chill but they can't can they

With hindsight... in fact even at the time it was obvious that the Remain campaign was lacklustre. Of course the Tories including Cameron just sort of lazily blamed the EU so routinely and dishonestly for anything and everything and didn't realise that people were dumb enough to believe them. Thus Cameron had no credibility when he said "Guys, obviously staying in the EU is the better option, all that stuff I've been saying all day every day for the last fifteen years was just made up bullshit, come on you weren't believing that were you?"
I think that Remain was so obviously the better option made the Remain campaign over-confident, a lot of people were trusting to their belief that only a nation of ill-educated, parochial idiots with a deep seated mistrust of foreigners who had long being lied to by their leaders and an out of control press would seriously consider it. That's why I'm at least glad I was in UK at the time and could understand it was happening, I heard that a lot of people in, say, Germany or whatever were gobsmacked, for them it came out of the blue. They assumed that in the final moment it couldn't happen that so many would vote against their own self-interest.

I don't think you believe that. I think that you know there is something much weirder and darker going on.

Anyway guys, let's get back to the serious fashion advice if we can please. I've got this awesome new t-shirt. I mean, this is something special. I'm wondering if maybe I could pair this up with the blue suit. I'm thinking the true blue suit, maybe my white YSL shoes and to complete the look, this... this... masterpiece.
Watch out ladies here I come. I'm afraid going to break a few hearts with this clobber but it can't be helped.

i picked up a European Commission T-shirt at a languages fair in about 2010, because the colour - that EU blue is so pleasant,
at that stage the EC/EU etc was just a boring thing but it was a nice plain blue decent quality cotton t-shirt with the circle of yellow stars over the left nip, and the stars again and the eu's web address on the back by the neck, and perhaps on one of the biceps - a freebie and not even that obviously eu-related
as time went by the t-shirt began to assume more significance, and get more ragged, as t-shirts do, a little frayed round the neck, a few blim burns around the tum area, as it was a comfy item to sleep in it stayed near the top of the pile, and occasionally i might wear it out, as upon one occasion - actually the pinnacle of this t-shirt's career, at the peak of brexitsteria a black woman approached me in walthamstow bus station to ask what i thought i was wearing, i was not sure but i think she was anti eu i scurried off anyway
and quite a while after the t-shirt went around the armpits it joined the dishrags in the kitchen where i think it still resides unless somepone chucked it, the stars has almost worn off anyway, and that raggedness of course over the years has always made me wistfully consider the deterioriating political situation, the ragged state of the union and so on.
a deep and lovely blue, so becoming

What is the story with the JRM tees? The man in an almighty fucking stroker beyond any doubt but I'm not sure his cuntishness is the type that wants to slime itself over tee-shirts, but on the other hand a demand side led production with other people clamouring for the item hardly seems plausible either. Either way I wish him a painful death at the earliest possible juncture and that's the main thing.

it's funny though how you get into these quiet but intense longterm personal relationships with items of clothing

Of course. It's a cliche but there have been so many ones where some girlfriend is constantly trying to throw it out... actually does piss me off, I'm in a cranky mood tonight for sure but it ain't right if someone keeps doing that. I've told you fucking seven times don't throw that away. You remember all these tiny inconvenient details i want forgotten from years back but somehow every time we start hanging the washing you forget that I told you that I would rather chop off my own penis than let you get rid of tjst jumper gran knitted for me.
Fuck shouldn't have done that pic as a stand-up comedian. That last paragraph read like actual material from the world's most mundane comic live from the London Palladium... if you enjoyed that I've been Idle Rich... if you didn't I'm Mr Tea, goodnight everyone, I love you see you next time!!

i've got a hyperdub t-shirt that must have been incredibly well made back in 2009 or whenever, kode9 must have been there for ages on his laptop sourcing only the finest cotton, sitting in his studio with sewing machine painstakingly double stitching everything, it's been all over the place and it's still my default on the odd occasion i go clubbing, it fits in with the techno all-black uniform as well

I wouldn't worry, Rich. I doubt anyone read that far anyway.

Same, bro. It's the way to do it.
Grotesque.
