The best bit of that outfit was hearing some dood say "she stole that shirt from Minnie Mouse" (it was red with big white spots and giant white buttons + purple bias highlights, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-62237095013167561892006-10-05T08:35:00.000+10:002006-10-05T08:35:00.000+10:00I made an ecru raw silk jacket when I was nineteen...I made an ecru raw silk jacket when I was nineteen that I wore for years and was inordinately proud of. It's a better colour than you think. The border sounds very fine.<br /><br />Was it Shaun Micallef who had the reincarnated LRB (Sans name of course) on the show, to play 'Hang On' with a dirty great big pause in the middle?

Even if the overwhelming dagginess of the whole LRB fan thing hadn't been a factor it is still extremely uncool to invite someone out and then leave them sitting by themselves because you would rather go wave your arms at John Farnham. <br /><br />I had standards even then.lucy tartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244574932248425378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-56827090449517571662006-10-04T12:49:00.000+10:002006-10-04T12:49:00.000+10:00Phil was very prescient.

It's not exactly cool to have been a Farnham fan in his LRB days - or at any time - but there has to be a word for it, a non-derogatory word.David Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306950287048502105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-64387552493441371032006-10-03T21:07:00.000+10:002006-10-03T21:07:00.000+10:00you know, I think I've only set a sleeve in proper...you know, I think I've only set a sleeve in properly once, to see aht it was like. then I went straight back to my mum's patented super-cheaty method. so much quicker, and I don't care how much of a naughty person it makes me.worldpeace and a speedboathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00735857941964784431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-318119035127295642006-10-03T19:05:00.000+10:002006-10-03T19:05:00.000+10:00Poor Phil, the dork.
