Why are most clothes made for skinny weedy runts?
What has happened to the male population? Having a torso bigger than a grape and thighs bigger than a stick means it's sometimes impossible to find something that fits.
Weedy tw@ clothes hoggers. :evil:

What he said. And it's not just waistlines that suggest you never actually eat or having thighs that are thinner than your knees either. I go to the gym... occasionally and I have genuine trouble trying to buy shirts that fit over my arms. I'm not sodding Schwarzenegger, I just actually have biceps. You apparently need to be a crack addict to buy men's clothes these days. Which is ironic given crack addicts tend not to have a very large disposable income to spend on clothes.

I only find stupid clothes in stupid trendy shops. Tesco Value have an excellent range of clothes for lard-arses.

I know. I actually tried on an XXL Diesel shirt the other day, it apparently meant an XXL stick insect. I nearly ripped the bloody thing trying to get it on my shoulders and it was almost cutting off the circulation in my arms. I don't even have major guns FFS!

Do blokes have no bones or muscle anymore? Do they have their spine removed at birth now?

I also think clothes are getting smaller. I now have to look at XL jackets and yet I'm the same size and weight as I was 20 years ago when a medium would have sufficed. Perhaps it is down to production, all the Asian factories putting in sizes relative to the local population.

Are they blue and white striped?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Thanks but I've only ever see fat guys advertising that. Never had a look as I'm not fat. Will have a look to see if there's nothing too dull on there. :D

That is true. I mentioned the Diesel one as I have another Diesel shirt, an 'L' from a while back and that's almost baggy! Now a Diesel XXL is made for someone the size of a twelve year old. It's the same frakkin brand FFS!

Think I've found the problem.
Every time I turn it on the Router may (or may not) give it a different IP address. If it gets a different one from the settings in Windows it can't be printed to.
I've gone into my router and reserved the current IP address for the mac address of the printer. Hopefully that will work.

English Bank Holiday yesterday (see previous rant) so I phone up my drug supplier (all above board and legal, honest) and because it's my first time I have to be called back :shock: I've waited over an hour already and have just missed a VC-10 landing at Lossie. Not that important but it's only the last VC-10 in the fleet that I've not photographed yet and have been hunting for 2 years for :evil: :evil: :evil:

Kids need to distinguish between the net and real life.

I get increasingly annoyed when a teenager actually says "LOL" or "OMG" rather than laughing or gasping in surprise.

They need to be "re-educated".

BTW, any adult caught doing the same should be flayed alive.

I do say lol sometimes, but it's very tongue in cheek when it happens.

I think we need to teach people to speak properly, full stop.

Try speaking with a rictus grin, avoiding almost all lip movement, and you'll understand what I mean.

Youngsters these days seem to say "myuve", "hoyme", "doyn't". I blame Neighbours. It's getting to a point where I swear someone will be asked to make the sound a cow makes, and they will go "myueee".

I'm okay now. Thanks for letting me share.

I can understand most young folks but there's one which I really struggle with. There's a prog on the telly called 'The Scheme'. It was shot in Kilmarnock which is about 15 miles south west of Glasgow and there's one lass that I just can't understand at all. She's the second youngest in a family where her elder brother was filmed injecting heroin and her younger brother keeps getting done for violent assault. Actually, I seem to recall her on another documentary about life in Cornton Vale - the only female jail in Scotland. Anyway, have a look for yourself and if anybody can translate for me........ :roll:

***WARNING*** the conduct in this documentary makes the guests on Jeremy Kyle look like MENSA material ;)
