    At the risk of me sounding outdated I don't get it.

    I can understand why some blokes would want to look like women, but what's the deal with this?

    It's just more items to wash isn't it?

    Perhaps they chose the wrong models. There are certainly some blokes about with moobs which would justify a bra.

    ...that's not really an aspirational look either!

    You could just wear the pants. ;)

    This then gives you less to wash, on a weight basis, or bulk. So more pants in fewer washes. And a jollier line.

    I was stopped by a man in the Kings Road in about 1994 who was looking for M&S. He proudly announced that he'd been fitted for a bra previously and was happy with the support. He had been measured a 36A and then indicated that he was wearing it. Indeed, one could see his new white bra through his airtex shirt.

    I'm not sure why he felt compelled to tell me. I had that kind of face when I was younger, I think. He was genuinely as pleased as punch.

    Onboarding seems to be the latest buzzword.

    Part of the onboarding process in our company is called 'base camp'.

    I haven't watched much of it, but W1A is good. If anyone didn't catch it (still on channel 4 catch up service) Ballot Monkeys had some flashes of comedic genius too, plus a great cast.

    Thanks, I'll watch that.
    I enjoyed W1A. Twenty Twelve was also good.

    You should have put 'NSFW' in your post! :rotfl:
    Not sure how to explain to colleagues why I'm looking at blokes in lingerie at work...

    We found it funny that a (male, late 40s) friend of mine owns a onesie the other day.

    I think the link is just weird if I'm honest.

    Anyone want an update on whats happening here? I don't want to bore you to death :)

    Parking night repeat. This time in the farm gate near my bedroom window. LOUD music. Dogs didn't make a peep. Lol.

    Simply spoiled their fun by reaching up and turning on my light. This scared them off romance but encouraged them to regain a show of 'manliness' by performing strange skidding manoeuvres in the road for about ten minutes. If I'd heard any other cars coming I might have got up and made a call. As it was despite not having to move from bed I listened to make sure his (?) car travelled away safely at least out of my earshot ( some miles last night, especially as he had one of those super noisey cars that are meant to sound 'big') then couldn't get back to sleep, which is unusual for me. Sometimes I struggle to get to sleep , but once there I can get back very easily.


    This morning I feel severely grumpy that I share not only roads with these idiots, but airspace. I also feel severely right wing about tax and education etc etc, which is entirely ridiculous, as who knows where the plonker went ( or didn't ) go to school and what the lifestyle is when not waking me up and romancing in farm gate ways.

    I cannot believe how well I used to cope with no sleep.
    Most likely some local(ish) youths looking for somewhere to sit in their car and smoke a bit of weed I'd guess.
    A village not far from wolverhampton regularly had a collection of its youth who had too much disposable income, but nowhere to go (can't go to the pub in a village - everyone knows everyone) had a similar epidemic.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
