Now I am unsure what you mean by pants.
I wear knickers. I like boxers on men. Pants is a mild expletive.

Or trousers in America and Liverpool

Morning, love.
I wear trousers. Well, that's a moot point really, as I don't.

Afternoon!
I wear trousers. Except when wearing shorts. Or kilts.
Never pants though.

That made me think of this

My thing with trousers has been going on for about 3 years now.
I bought a couple of pairs recently, but they were for the gym. I don't wear them as a matter of course.

Woah there, we ain't 'pants'-sayers!

You bloody are
Every scouse I met called them pants! Well, when they didn't call them "trackies".
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:02, Reply)

Or Trackie Bottoms?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:04, Reply)

trackie top, trackie bottoms.
sorted
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:05, Reply)

i think you're talking about people from the Wirral or Huyton.
Scousers from Liverpool do not say pants.
They might occasionally say "smart pants" or "smart trackies" for emphasis, but the word pants alone, whut choo talkin bout!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:05, Reply)

"Smart trackies" is surely an oxymoron?

I concur.
How you doing today?
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:09, Reply)

I've had a nice sleep, I feel a little more well and I'm not going to do weights until next week or so.
Not that bad, really. How are you?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:11, Reply)

You'll be pleased to know we didn't play All Blues last night
Good session though, and I still have bass envy (in return for travelling all the way down to Tonbridge I get to play her husband's bass, which is an absolute beauty). Still haven't quite woken up this morning but I'm sure I'll come to life after lunch. Or fall asleep again. I haven't decided yet.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:15, Reply)

Fall back asleep. Always a good plan.
I thought my zing was quite good, actually, especially as I am supposed to know/remember the structure of the piece and know that while it's improvisation it's tightly controlled and one soloist uses more notes and another fewer but more expression and surely when you play it you change the solos?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:17, Reply)

In which case you know more about it than we do...
We go for the usual approach of "bash through tune, violin solo over chords, guitar solo, bass solo, try and come back into the tune altogether."

But then I never had to study the piece in obscenely intimate detail. (And that may be why I can still enjoy it)
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:22, Reply)

You just had to choose that one.
You have Duke Ellington, early Louis Armstrong and Bennie Goodman. I'd rather you stayed away from the bebop, though, no one likes bebop.

I've just whapped Koko on now, it's one of the pieces I didn't mind doing to death.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:26, Reply)

Hmm...depends what bop
Parker I still can't get into, but Miles' earlier stuff is bebop, as is Coltrane's. And I don't really know where to put people like Oscar Peterson and Grant Green in the grand scheme of things. Oh, and we do a few Thelonious Monk tunes...this is just offending you more and more, isn't it?
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:31, Reply)

The earlier Miles we studied were Jeru and Venus De Milo
I was never that much of a fan. I'm a sucker for a nice tune. I wouldn't mind All Blues so much if it weren't so deathly boring, repetitive and a bit wanky, to be honest.

ALMOST 12 MINUTES FFS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Smart trackies.

Yes, but if I say "What kind of knickers do you like?" I feel all creepy and a bit wrong.

You raise a good point
Pants has a comedy element to it.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:07, Reply)

I like classic shape, really
not girlboxers or thongs or high waisted granny pants. Pretty patterns, and I have some lovely lacy ones.

Creepy, wrong, and concisely informed.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:10, Reply)

On a boy, boxers.
I'm not really too fussy.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:12, Reply)

Maybe it's a man thing, I know we're driven more by sexual imagery than ladies.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 12:13, Reply)

Nah, it's just that pretty much everyone I've seen in their knickers has worn boxers.
I prefer what's familiar.
