Oh and I’m a mechanical pencil sort (more lead available).

Yeah, I’m with Grandad on this. Shopping involves deciding I need something. Going to a shop that stocks it. Paying for it (if I like the proprietor well enough) and leaving. My clothes don’t wear out very fast and my wife likes shopping, hence it rarely reaches the stage where I go and buy clothes.

Baino – I can’t speak for Thrifty, but Herself has this spending thing. She loves disappearing for long periods and then reappearing with clothes for herself and me, that I don’t need. As for pens – that is one of the few things about me that doesn’t leak.

Haha . . I think it’s funny that you and Thrifty have your clothes bought by your wives! Not trusted out on your own fellas? Fear of mismatching your checks and stripes perhaps? And as a wife and mother, I hate breast pockets because you always put your pens in them nib down and cause a nasty blue stain that simply will never come out!

Sneezy – Yes. I spend a lot of my evenings standing around and buying drinks.

TheChridD – That, and “Todally”, whatever the hell that means.

@Grandad: I think they say something is “cool” when it suits you really well.

Either that or its the only adjective teenagers these days know…

Trousers must have deep pockets. And you’ve got short arms? Killer not being able to stand a round, isn’t it?

Sam – I had to look it up myself. “She is gorgeous, butter face…..”
Please don’t mention my name in the same sentence as MT.
As for what I have in my pockets? Change, keys, ammunition, tobacco, lighter and anything else I might think I’d need. I was in the Scouts..

Butterface? As in butter wouldn’t melt? Or that her face looks like melted butter?

What lot of things do you keep in your pockets, Grandad? Are they as mysterious as Margaret Thatcher’s handbag?

Peter – It takes years of apprenticeship. What do you want to be, anyway? Old?
