    1. Elasticated jeans. My legs should always feel hugged.
    2. Athleisure. Specifically women’s athleisure in sizes 10 and below.
    3. That moment where the cheese starts to sort of bubble when making cheese on toast and you know the party is about to start.
    4. Last minute final fantasy game changers. Thank you for the 92nd minute goal, Tony RUUD.
    5. Wearing shorts instead of trousers.

    Call me a pervert at your peril.

    Is it 'full time' studying, but in reality only 3 days a week?

    3 days? Don't you usually get about 10 hours of [face-to-face] tuition a week? Might be even less thinking back as I don't recall 'tutorials' being a thing at that level. I suppose it somewhat depends on the subject.

    Well the units I’ve started seem to require quite a bit of work, but it gives me a chance to work out a schedule that suits me the best, which is pretty great as we’re expecting our second child to be born sometime in the next two weeks.

    But yeah, I don’t have much to attend daily and since everything is still done through Zoom and the likes it’s pretty great.

    Clothes that pretend to be sports clothes but are really lazing about clothes.

    Jack Wills trackies and that shit.

    I think.

    Trackies?

    So, sweatpants? Or leggings? If leggings, I will add a +1.

    Add those shorts that are so short that the bottom of the arse is out.

    I read it as leggings. The ones that go up the lady's arse, to whoever invented them I doff my hat.

    Trackies = sweatpants. I think athleisure would cover both trackies and leggings of the sort worn for lounging around. And the kind of shorts you're thinking of also.

    Athleisure was meant as sports leggings and crop tops for women’s gym wear.

    I deserved to be called a pervert, and the inventor deserves a knighthood.

    I wore shorts for work one day during the summer when it was ridiculously hot. Was while I was doing adult surgery.

    One of the surgical consultants tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to (he's a twat). I won that battle.

    I imagine I looked ridiculous so perhaps he won the war.

    For what it’s worth, I’ve been wearing football shirts and shorts with my snapcap whilst working from home.

    Apparently the platform offshore manager hates it. But whatever. You’re technicians love seeing me rocking a Chelsea Kante top on camera in the morning call.

    Probably wouldn’t be feasible in the office.

    Yeah, if you're working from home who cares what you're wearing?

    Someone once scoffed about someone else "not getting dressed up for a meeting" and I just shrugged and said she wasn't in the office, all the while wearing shorts and slippers myself like a comfy man.

    I bought these things called ‘Mugsy Jeans’ and I’m never going back. Look like normal jeans but they’re like sweatpants in material. Incredible stuff.

    My neighbour is a tick ting Fleur East hybrid fitness instructor and was up a step ladder out the front in some athleisure leggings the other day, I nearly gave myself a boz eye trying to perv on the sly as I walked past.

    She is definitely the street hottie, the other neighbours are by and large miserable rotund fishwives.

    I have an incredible neighbour up the road, but she was in the shop the other day speaking to a clearly disinterested shopkeeper about her horse - "Sugarpuff" - for 5 minutes while I stood waiting to buy my Lychee Rubicon. Slag.

    It gave me time to take in her Athleisured arse, but people with horses are the most boring people on earth. What a waste.

    In my limited experience women involved with horses are pure dirt. I know a lad who is a farrier and spends as much time shagging on yards as he does shoeing horses.

    Which I great if you can take the tedium between the sex. I went out with a horse owning girl before I went to Uni and it was painful. It's like owning a horse is a personality replacement.

    I can't see the problem here.

    My wife's best friend has 4 horses. Wonder if they get filthier the more horses they have. I might ask next time we see them.

    I've just learned that the stupid meerkats in the stupid meerkat adverts are voiced by the guy who played Michael in I'm Alan Partridge. Love stuff like that.

    Quiet and posh 22 year old lad has moved to our godforsaken shithole from Brighton to work at my place, and happily threw himself into our little night out last night, which was sound. The thing I loved most though was when a few of us went to the jukebox, in a fairly rough Rugby pub, he wacked on bloody Frank Sinatra with absolutely zero hestitation. Big balls move that I really respected, even though I have very little fondness for that big band bullshit.

    igor_balis sinking a fiver into the jukebox to put the Vengaboys on repeat. About the third time in people start noticing, but nothing happens and he wasted his fiver.

    Rough pubs love that shit. 9 times out of 10, the rougher the pub the better. They don't charge stupid prices and they've got all the entertainment staples in pool tables, dart boards, jukeboxes and lunatics. On top of that, you can pretty much do what you want without getting kicked out.

    Yes mate, we played pool at the first place (despite being bookies favourite for last place in the Yevrah open, I got genuine gasps of admiration for making a couple of simple 1 cushion snooker escapes, which were absolutely deserved), and then a mammoth session of around the world on the dart board in the Sinatra pub. This nice middle aged fella approached me and asked if he could "play the winner" during our darts game, and when I said "mate, we're all absolutely shit" he sort of apologised and backed away, and left the pub about a minute later, which was weird. Wise move as it took us about another hour to reach 20.

    You should have invited him into the game. You need to mingle in these places cause talking to a regular is like a side mission in GTA. You have no idea what sort of shit you're getting involved in, but you know it'll be fun.

    Also, any pub with table football alongside everything else is immediately a 10/10.
