When you think a very bad day, in a very bad week can't get worse,

When you think you might just pop to the loo before leaving the client,

When you discover that you just broke the zip on your almost new £300 suit,

When you run across the road to the Next that is having a sale,

When you find the only pair of trousers that fits is a shiny stretchy fake denim thing that makes you look like a lost extra from Saturday Night Fever,

You discover that a very bad day in a very bad week can get worse.

[UPDATE] - Photo linked to above as requested. Sigh.

Sorry to hear that man. Just remember, no matter how bad things get, you’ve always got good mates to look after you.

(Er, unless there is some kind of major terrorist attack, then we’ll all be fleeing for our lives and you’re just gonna have to look after your own shit.)

Terrorist attacks do not worry me in the slightest.

Aside from potentially dying in ugly trousers.

Why do I have utter conviction that the shiny stretchy fake denim thing was from the women’s department?

D, I can assure you that they were not.

This is how rumours get started.

The sleeves on the jacket look a touch uneven, too. And you’ve unstitched the pockets. Tsk.

Holy shit Adrian, they are one pair of shiny motherfucking breeks!

And let’s be honest pal, if you were agleam with those bad boys then you would have been no extra, you would be in the star role.

Aren’t you meant to unstitch the pockets?

I can’t dance so I doubt I would have any lead roles.

I thought gay men were meant to have better taste than us straight men?

/Why do I get the feeling that I will be forced to wear those to the next blog meet?

My eyes! My eyes!!

Lordy. Shiny breeks indeed.

You’d have been better off fixing the busted zip with some sellotape and staples than buying those, cos they do indeedly ming.

snort!!

Excellent. Very retro.

Worst £15 I have ever spent.

£15 squid? Did you say you got them from Next or Oxfam?

28 Jul, '04 4:46 PM

16. Adrian

Next on sale. They may have a rapid path to Oxfam however, although it would seem a waste to only wear them once for 4 hours.

Although they are ghastly.

You’re supposed to leave the pockets stitched up so the line of the suit stays smooth, apparently.

29 Jul, '04 10:11 AM

18. Adrian

But then how do you put stuff in them?

29 Jul, '04 12:41 PM

19. Chris

Think of jacket pockets as a bit like handbags for men. They’re there to accessorize, not to actually put things in.

20. Adrian

But but but but … but thats just wrong.

30 Jul, '04 11:37 AM

I agree! Pockets that exist merely ‘for show’ are only like handbags for men in that men should have neither.
