Suits

[smashedagain]

A suit from Sir Montague Burton was the dogs bollocks back in the day. hence the saying "The full Monty"

Nowadays they've gone for a Burton.

They were almost all corner-shops and had snooker halls above them too.

If you fancied a game of snooker back in my dad's day you just had to look for a Burton's.

That's right Ralph. I used to play at one in Sheffield, (Faulkners I think it was) and this one in Rotherham.

Excellent nugget of information. Does this happen frequently in your diary? I'm considering a defection from you-know-who's diary.

The wind in the Earth's northern hemisphere blows mostly from the north-east, while in the southern hemisphere, it blows from the south-east. Very convenient if you're the olde worlde nautical version of Eddie Stobart.

See, before mechanisation, these winds were used to propel sailing ships back and forth across the worlds oceans. Obv this free source of natural power was great for your latter day Arfur Daley types, who would sail one way with a boat load of rubber, flog it, buy a boat load of linen with the proceeds and then sail back. They called the winds 'Trade Winds'.

So we have the Trade Winds. Great! But there is a problem. You can't have two winds that blow in opposite directions rubbing up against each other, that would cause all kinds of friction, so in between there is a nice calm buffer zone where the wind almost never blows. This calm corridor is known as the Doldrums.

'Dol' is the old word for 'dull. as in slow or sluggish. If fit of anger was a 'tantrum', then a bout of dullness or laziness was a 'doldrum'.

When a ships Capitan found his ship becalmed, he would say 'She's in her doldrums' and because this happened most often in the calm region that lay between the trade winds, that region itself eventually became known as 'The Doldrums'.

My diary is languishing in the doldrums at the moment. 'Moribund' Tony would call it. He tries to get it going with a bit of puff every now and then, but sooner or later, I will have to man the oars.

You have all got me officially paranoid after reading some quotes.

I bought it from Burton's and it's grey, it's nothing amazing, but I think it will do.

But questions which are annoying me, should the suit have 2 buttons, mine was one, does it matter? I also wonder if you fasten your button for the interview, etc?

Fasten your buttons while standing, unbutton to sit.

Diary popularity is all about marketing these days and people want to be excited. I think the idea of a hero vigilante pedalling around the neighbourhood with evil eyes and cap drawn low is exciting for us the reader. When injustice is encountered this mysterious figure will stamp it out and cycle onwards looking for the next adventure. Pictures of squirrels are all good but odd tale about going nutzoid at people in the street would give you an edge and increase beaufort scale imo. Even though Tikay has mostly train pictures in his diary he does include smut from time to time.

I said there would be oars, what more do you want?

Listening to this in my head, you remind me of a character from a film called "Snatch". That guys name is Brick Top.

Just edited what I was about to post (quite innocently, I might add). Let's go instead with "I love the film that is called Snatch, me".

Much better

As I read the trade winds post it just reminded me of the way he delivers his "pigs consuming bodies" speech.
