Hai, Foo.

BTW, the hair is protective and is rated for Vespa speeds.

Not bad, not bad at all. I have a few shirts in those 'candy stripes' from that Acorn book.

I'd wear that shirt and tie under a chalkstripe 3 piece, just to **** with people a little.

Ignore Mafoofan, he's prone to over excitement.........poor lad.

It works for you because you have an English accent. And English things that **** with the English a little have the potential to **** with Americans quite a lot more.

The reverse is also true.

Since you make your presence felt, I think it is less a question of tangibility than a question of angle of gaze.

The quote is funny because page 3 of The Sun has the page with the topless models.

I remember his impromptu karate kick at Crystal Palace. When quizzed by the waiting paparazzi he retorted with a loose approximation of symbolist poetry. It would have made Verlaine's head spin.

Great footballer though.

the karate kick, imo, is a different story, agreed?

Actually that ensemble of 'Film's isn't that bold in the U.K. most wouldn't bat an eyelid at it. I just find it amusing how some on this forum always get over-excited when they see something like this. Or is it, as I suspect, more about the poster than it is about the clothes?
