Luckily for him, he has a year long track record and also we do not have a slow moving cadre of a moderation team to take months about it.

But he's merely a different sort of idiot. He hasn't put creepy pictures of himself up, he hasn't written reams on nothing of interest to anyone (Blockbusters incident withstanding) and most of all, he doesn't creep the shit out of me like that manchild does.

I cringe when I see people walking around holding those Primark paper bags. Why would you want to advertise the fact that you shop there??

I buy most of my t-shirts from Oxfam and eBay now. Most of them are original 80s items, as they did proper 'small' t's back then, with elasticated necks (a godsend for little people like me). 50/50 polycotton blend t-shirts last longer as well.

Can I just say, I'm sick of 'small' shirts and T-shirts that are way too large? I tried on a couple of business shirts earlier this year which were in the smallest sizes possible, and I swear I could have doubled as a sail on a yacht. Now, I recognise I have a relatively small frame, but I'm hardly a dwarf or anything. I don't think it's unreasonable for me to be able to find a shirt that doesn't extend to my knees.

In terms of T-shirts, I've started wearing 'extra small' sizes where they're available (although they're not that common). I find it curious though that the best fitting 'small' T-shirts I've ever purchased were in the US, which is supposedly the obesity capital of the world.

Threadless tend to have sizes that are just about spot-on, although their own-brand ones tend to be a bit on the larger side.

That's why they have shops that proudly proclaim "we stock XXXL". I think they just have more range than larger minimum sizes.

Primark in Royal Avenue in Belfast trade on 3/4 floors, the bottom floor is massive however and could easily put another floor on, I never knew they actually made that much clothes to fill a shop that big.

So are you going to fully zip them up, so you can't see your keyboard any more?
