    Which reminds me..

    I need to get a couple of decent (work) suits next year as I'm planing
    to enter humanity again. I wish to look (fairly) smart, but just want
    work clothes... Where does one buy economical work clothing nowadays.
    I'm talking run of the mill, day to day, 2 trousers to 1 jacket type
    stuff[1].. I know where to buy good suits should I feel the need..)

    And yes, I know this involves wearing a shirt, the world doesn't work on
    my rules..

    [1] I rarely wear a jacket, but frequently show up in one, IYSWIM.

    There *should* be cuff showing under the jacket sleeve. Ian Fleming was
    quite insistent on this point - 1/4" or 1/2" as I recall.

    Cheers.

    They even have a branch very near to the Nottingham office I work in -
    Bonus!

  7. Never let the facts stand in the way of a good aphorism.

    You don't "wear" anything. It just sort of hangs off you.

    Nope.

    Well only once. It didn't make any difference to the outcome ;-)

  19. Tough stuff, polycotton.

    I still have a scar on my leg where the idiot [1] using a holesaw
    drilled through a tank wall and wrapped my trouserleg round the saw, the
    teeth just stopping short of gnarling bone.

    [1] Me.
