I'm wearing tiny, tight, blue Speedos. With a bollock hanging out.
It's a powerful look.

Thanks for that mental image, I have just returned from Crete where the natives and some of a more Mediterranean background have to by law wear lime green budgie smugglers even if they are the size and shape of your average wargamer (not a great look, but more power to them  lol) that is as long as they do not bend over in front of me (there are limits)  :-X lol

You think that's bad? We were once (mercifully briefly) represented as a nation by a PM who liked to affect the look. He liked to eat raw onions on camera as a follow up act.

This thread is proof positive that the words 'gamer' and 'cool' do not belong in the same postcode let alone the same sentence. Mildly surprised that there aren't more references to Uriah Heep, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin T-shirts.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I have to disagree there Carlos - 'the look' is bad but to then top it off with one of those ridiculous red/yellow hats is appalling - 'kill it, kill it with fire' (the picture, not necessarily the person, obviously) level of appalling!
Ugh life is too short to be exposed to that sort of thing.

I think a photo of the Hobgoblin socks (see above) is necessary to prove that they are the ultimate in cool  :D

If I wore white socks, even ones with Hobgoblin branding, I'd never hear the end of it from assorted female relatives. However, it's my birthday in August and they'll be asking for my list soon. Etsy's always a good place for ideas ...

What have your 'assorted female relatives' got against white socks?

They think that wearing them is a heinous sartorial crime. They might turn a blind eye if you're playing tennis though I expect trainer socks would be a safer bet.

White socks and Birkenstock sandals are now what the hipsters wear, so sock away, amigo. Let not the others dissuade you!
