I'm not having a go at anyone with my post, but just saying that I shall never succumb to the airy whims of fashion. I like a nice pair of jeans like any man, but you need space for your balls. I have no desire to father, but walking around with crushed testicles can't be too pleasant. And not being able to bend is a serious sign that things are wrong.

The only skinny things I wear are the ties as I look alright with a thin tie. It's never going to look particularly tragic. Not unless I decide to put it around the neck of someone who gets in my way on the footpath.
