He refuses to address that. I noted the same thing 3 posts in, but he brushes right past it.

Is it not hypocritical to imply one substance should stay illegal, while at the same time promoting the use of another substance which is more addictive and more damaging to ones health?

I've changed the template, if that's what you mean. I'm happy with the title. Do you mean something else?

I am not saying that my view is that ganja should stay illegal, I'm pointing to the inconsistency of the Tin Hitlers. There is, actually, some evidenec that frequent use of marijuana can produce psychological disorders and most users mix it with tobacco anyway. I have tried ganja. A spliff did nothing for me at all, except leave me with the feeling that I really had been smoking grass (I mean lawn grass); so, giving it a further chance, I stoked up a pipe with some of the weed, mixed just with a little strong Latakia tobacco and smoked it through. I spent a morning in and out of consciousness and decided that I'd stick to decent tobacco, in the future. OK?

Much more readable now!

I have no idea what issue a couple of others seem to have with the title of your blog. It's quite an amusing spin on the Desmond Morris quote.

Are you sure they are not just basted shut? Most lapel buttonholes can be opened just like your jacket pockets.

I suppose that, if you don't know the Desmond Morris context, it might sound strange and, of course, there are those who don't like to think of themselves as animals at all, as well as all the rather earnest folk who think that they'll be turned to stone if they smile or dance on a Sunday...

Nice blog (and I love the name). More pics of your Davies and Budd gear would be helpful.

Thanks! I see what I can do on some more pictures.

I think you're overestimating my net worth. The jackets I buy are extremely cheap, so the only way to achieve the cut I want (I'm quite thin and short, with a 35 inch chest) is to buy from places like H&M and Urban Outfitters, whose designers rarely even bother to sew fake stitching on.

A white linen pocket square with a few early spring violets tucked in front can look quite handsome. Until I buy my next suit (probably a MTM tux), it will have to suffice.

I suppose that the alternative answer might be: where else do you put them? Anyway, many thanks for all the helpful and encouraging comments.
