  • Speaker: Festive Fare,

    It's a testament to the quality of our festival that I hardly ever seem to see the same films as anyone else... yet I'm seeing seventeen this year. Five down, twelve to go.

    (That 1938 Errol Flynn Robin Hood was jolly japes all round. And so many pairs of tights!)

    A private jet? He didn't even pay lip service to the underprivileged peeps? Tut!

    (This reminds me of one of our favourite TV-watching rituals: during any programme showcasing particularly ridiculous examples of conspicuous consumption (MTV Cribs, Grand Designs, etc), my husband and I, in the character of the person on screen, flip the bird to an array of imaginary huddled masses and say 'fuck you, poor people!' Well, we amuse ourselves, anyway. :) )

    Is it defamation to call him a douchebag?

    Heh. I note that a typographical thorn now looks like this in a sentence: 'a rose between two þorns'.

    (Oh dear. I þink þat looks like 'porn'.)

    How on earth did fashion crimes end up on two threads at once?

    The PAS Women's XV! Hear us roar! (In numbers too big too ignore... etc.)

    If it ain't Stiff, it ain't worth a fuck.

    It is a source of great sadness to me that I once bought that tshirt online, but it never arrived...

    So we're talking about knee lwngth, denim shorts?

    I'm afraid so.

    My best American friend wears them all the time. He is a lovely, lovely man, but not overburdened with sartorial knowledge.

    I, personally, would not call those jorts. I'd call those cutoffs. The jort was never a pair of jeans, and is made specifically at shorts-length. Hemmed and everything.

    I think Russell would be really fetching in jorts.

    Andrew, it's a contraction of 'jean shorts' - what we would call denim shorts. (There is also the 'jirt'... chambray. Shudder.)

    i get annoyed by people who are "impacted" by things.

    Me TOO. I blame the Americans for that as well. It just reminds me of bowels.
