 Poster: A snowHead
|
Whilst standing at a bus stop at Gatwick long-stay car park last Saturday morning, there was a bloke wearing maroon crushed velvet trousers - like the upholstery from an Elizabethan chaise longue - and a foppish cravate around his neck, smoking a cigarillo, and speaking about his forthcoming skiing holiday in a voice half way between the caddish Fast Show character ("me, in a girl's private school, at 3am, with my reputation?") and Peter Cook's "Squatter And The Ant" voice.
Skiers, everyone!

Not the above garb, clearly. I also forgot to mention he was wearing what appeared to be Napoleon's admiralty jacket.

No it doesn't.
Would you perhaps like to have another laughably failed public attempt at unravelling my personality, based on nothing more than a flippant comedic post on an internet forum?

paulio, I once shared a chalet with The Honorable.... and Lady....... The Honourable and his chums arrived in striped Henley blazers; but they did not wear them for the rest of the stay. They were fine. Only found out they were titled from seeing the passports. No forelock tugging or curtseying required all week.
I have seen cravats at SCGB but the only red trousers were corduroys on posh pensioners. DG is not the cravat type.

Sounds like an interesting character, as people at the extremities of society's social scale often are. It seems to me that the more towards the centre of our country's class structure we go, the duller, grayer and fecking boring people tend to be.
