Like a nice pair of undercracks, can have designer gear head to toe but if your pants ain't comfy it is all for nothing. Black DKNY for me today.

I am picturing Rumpole of the Bailey for some reason.

I'm picturing Jabba the Hutt draped in a curtain.

    

Would still be a better look at the green bloody shirt!!

Its a very dark green.  I think you are picturing me in some garish bright green shirt.

I am way classier than that.

MOre wilted spinach than pea puree??

Yeah, it is that dark.  The ladies in the office are drooling over me today.  I actually feel a bit emotionally violated.

Glated would like to know what colour underpants you're wearing.

I'm going light grey CK.

I had to go and check.  I couldn't remember.  They are black but I think they are George by Asda.  Definitely not CK.  Never see the point in designer undercrackers.  

Good lad. Mine are Primarni.

My brother irons his underwear. Not only that, he wears those ball hugging flurescent coloured types that sit a bit higher up the thigh. Used to make me vomit when he got changed after games.

I'm 35 and I too am wearing black undercrackers from George. Are you sure your not my alias?

If I am, I am the more intelligent and better looking alias.

but ultimately, still wearing the same pants.

Glated's just had to go and have a lie-down.

I assume you mean literally, as you help them readjust their dentures.

True.

I am deeply conflicted at the moment. I have, for a few weeks, had an image of TSMR and her big boobs in my head. Now I am desperately trying to remove an image of Jeff in black undercrackers from the memory bank.

Not sure it makes the vision any better but at least they are quite expensive underpants. However I am not an attractive man, even I don't particularly like to think of myself in any state of undress so you do have my sympathy.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder good sir.

How many you got?

21 buses, 4 coaches and a London sightseeing bus.  Am concentrating on the Natural History Museum/Queens Gate/S Kensington triangle but some of the photos are 5 years apart which is quite frustrating.  Can't see most of the number plates so there may be some level of duplication.

Any stricken cyclists?

That normally happens round Bishopsgate/Aldgate.

Glad to see two I voted for were the two highest. Not really sure how I have only just found the culture cup!
