BILLY V2.0 · Thu May 17, 2007 1:59 pm Underwear

I've just bought a pair of those tight Calvin Klein 'briefs' with the pouch for your genitals and they are so fucking comfortable, I can't believe I have worn loose fitting boxer shorts for the last 10 years. They were constantly bunching up and riding up my leg. If you want a good pair of pants, Calvin is definitely the go-to-guy.

What sort of underwear does everybody else wear in this day and age?

BILLY V2.0 · Thu May 17, 2007 2:15 pm

this is the sort i'm talking about by the way

i have much larger bulge, obviously

Yeah, those scare me. Why do you want your underwear that tight? It's just uncomfortable.

My underwear situation has been covered in some depth, so we'll leave that.

But I have just recieved a t-shirt in the post today and it's a girls cut. It's quite tight on me, but it doesn't look that weird. The lesson: don't buy your clothes online.

They really aren't that tight. I was worried about that too, but the crotch area is quite loose, but it keeps everything in place. I only bought them because I went into a clothes shop to give in a CV and got chatting to the person that worked there and I thought buying them would maybe win me some favour. It was the cheapest item I could find. £9 for a pair of boxers though, fucking hell. I can probably get 20% off if they employ me.

Women have much nicer clothes than us though, it's not really fair. I almost bought some of those ridiculously tight jeans today but I decided against it, for now.

I know, it's bang out of order. I've decided to expand my wardrobe (I say wardrobe, I mean my chair and scatered around the floor) to unpleasantly colourful clothes. Like mixing bright orange and silver or something.

I'm living out of a suitcase at the moment and I have clothes at about 4 different locations in the world so I'm not really sure what I need, but I do feel as if I don't have enough clothes. I want one of those army style jackets that Jeremy wears on Peep Show. I would actually like to dress like somebody off of Nathan Barley if I could.

Dananiel · Thu May 17, 2007 3:03 pm

Actually, army clothes are really good. That tunic thing I bought years ago is a proper marines jacket thingy, so it's made really well and it's bloody fantastic in the winter. In terms of lastability, I definitely think going to one of those army surplus shops would be a good bet.

But you'd end up looking like Frost in Spaced.

I bought some massive army boots from an army surplus shop during my metal phase but I couldn't wear them because they were so heavy that I was unable to walk in them for more than about 10 minutes without needing a sit down. I would be fucking useless in Iraq.

I have always wanted to buy some orange or red corduroy trousers. I never have though.

BILLY V2.0 · Thu May 17, 2007 3:31 pm

Your days of rebellion are long gone, Chappo. Buy the wife a manga and let it go.

RChappo · Thu May 17, 2007 3:57 pm

LOL

The whole idea of using corduroy as some kind of rebellious symbol kind of sums up my approach into my mid 30's doesn't it?

Dananiel · Thu May 17, 2007 4:21 pm

I think it says more about Billy that he thought that was an acceptable way to rebel.

RChappo · Thu May 17, 2007 4:45 pm

I might get these:

Wildman. Is this a precursor to Operator 65 reforming? NME are going to be all over this.

RChappo · Thu May 17, 2007 5:09 pm

Well I don't to say too much but I had a listen to our old demo tape the other day and threw some drum and bass shit on it and....well I'm excited....
