thought not

but it would appear from recent threads that your current employers are looking to

1) Force you to leave
2) Break your spirit and turn you into a grey permie...

Keep fighting!

I have a sartorial plan, inspired by a Congolese gentleman with whom I conversed in a train from Brussels just a few months ago.

I shall dress in the style of Congolese 'sapeurs', members of the 'Société des Ambianceurs et Persons Élégants'

Or would I just look a bit gay?

 

[Pondlife]

No. However I've noted the 'hipsters' as they have caught up with my individual lack of style in their fashion journey.

So you were a hipster before there were hipsters.

That's pretty hipster.

 

[Mich the Tester]

Is this your MP3 player?

No, but I do own a record player and a collection of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk on vinyl.

No I was just a sort of semi-urbanised country bumpkin, and I still am.

Zoot suits by any other name.

Wandering around Istanbul a couple of years back we bumpt into a man wearing a pale peach suit far too often. Including a couple of places that didn't make any sense at all.

He was however instantly recognisable.

Yep, but very cool given the circumstances of those chaps; there's quite an interesting history there. Apparently Mobutu insisted that all men should wear Chairman Mao outfits, but the gentlemen of Kinshasa rebelled by wearing very smart and colourful suits, just to annoy him and the habit has now stuck and spread to other African cities.

He lets an ex-girlfriend support their 5-year-old son and still lives with his parents, sleeping in a dingy, blue-walled bedroom that is more aptly described as a closet with a mattress.

bound to earn everyone's respect.

They wonder why some countries are trucked.
