Mmmmmm, new tracksuit?
There is a growing sense of fashion happening in Glasgow at present, that I not only find offensive, but which I find drives me into a murderous rage. Why the fuck are grown men wearing bright coloured hoody tracksuits. Bright yellows, oranges, reds, is this some new breed of Ned, the 'Clown Ned'. I really feel like shouting into there pock-marked fizzog, "DID YOUR MUM FUCKING DRESS YOU THIS MORNING!!!!", before beating them senseless and forcing their bottle of Buckfast up their arse.
I mean come on, the Ned used to be a force to be reckoned with, old grannies would recoil in fear at the state of their bogging teeth. Now they are seen as someone who obviously requires Care in the Community! I really believe I'm watching evolution taking place, just as Humans and Neanderthals split, with the latter being wiped out of existence, so I believe the same will happen to these 'Clown Neds'.

The 80's are back! I've spotted them too.
I think this has something to do with an 80's revival fashion-wise. Unfortunately this appears to be only stuff Timmy Mallet would wear.

I want to shout 'WAKE UP! YOU'RE HAVING THAT DREAM WHERE YOU'RE WEARING YOUR JAMMIES OUTSIDE!'

It's phase one of a secret plan by the fashion industry
They've given us the evils of the muffin top, thongs, maxi dresses and the dipped hem. They've resurrected the vileness that is named "leggings". What you have stumbled upon is the latest plan to get the next terrible fashion travesty into our consciousness... This time next year, shell suits will be "in" again!

But is the crotch around their knees??
All the track suits I've seen are....usually with grey, minging boxers on show too *gah*

There is worse to come, it is known as the onesy tracksuit and it will eat your soul.

Have you been living in a cave or something?
I haven't lived or even BEEN to Glasgow since 1999, and there were fuckloads of neds dressed EXACTLY like that back then.

The nasty shell suits of the late 80's were made of a ridiculously inflammable synthetic fibre, are these new ones the same material that made that zwittt noise everytime a wearer moved slightly?
A simple yet greatly satisfying ignition test to answer this question may be in order the next time one staggers past you.
