In St Albans we have any apparent epidemic of kids cycling around at night doing wheelies, wearing dark clothes and with no lights, pulling out in front of cars making them do emergency stops. One got hit a few weeks ago, was OK, unlike the car. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth on local social media!
Good that kids are out and active. Frankly doesnât sound any different from what me and mates were doing 45 years ago. Perhaps itâs the adults who are to busy driving around texting and blogging to watch out for kids that are the problem

TBF the bloke walking in front of the car with the red flag told you get your penny farthings out of the way though.

I read recently that itâs a âchickenâ thing as well as the thrill of fucking up traffic - I saw a group of yoofs on pedal machines doing just that on The Kingsway, Holborn just before Christmas. Mad fuckers!

Which is part of the reason I use a dash cam.
been loads of that round here, cops involved accidents etcâŚ
Also there are 3 times more cars on the road when i guess most of us were kids.
Sodding tying a bow tie can have one. Fucking thing.

I do have standards. Even wearing some crippling Oxfords rather than my lovely, comfy and actually smarter Loake brogues.
Just wearing a very nice white shirt though, my dress shirt seems to have shrunk in the wardrobe and the pleats make me look very lumpy indeed

As of yesterday, black tie is worn with a vest and no tie, joggers and trainers. Got a raincoat to tie around the waist to complete the look?

I used to wear a DJ over a tshirt, or a white Ben Sherman (no tie, natch) 501s with turn ups and cherry reds. Quite liked that look tbh. If I ever get back down to 12St 
, I might try it out again in the local 80âs clubâŚ

Yes. This is the obvious one 
Strippergram?
My one and only do (in the last 10 years) where I needed to where one of those fuckers. I even shaved for the occasion.

I think a Label named Fat Cunt may have a future and give us all some work. Too many of todayâs models are dangerously thin. Itâs time a brand catered for the lazy couch potato. I think a range of onesies with designer stains should be the first product.
