What is going on with the world.
Firstly. I go shopping this weekend and it would appear the 'Christmas jumper' is back in fashion.

Secondly. There seems to be some sort of fashion for 'men' where the bottom of trousers are elasticated.

What is going on?

I want your opinion on both the christmas jumper and the spacky-strides.

Both terrible.
But do not confuse Xmas jumpers with fairisle jumpers. Fairisle jumpers can be great (but most of the time are awful), my Our Legacy one is mega.

Ah, Billy Bragg
Superb songwriter, very under-rated guitarist and sanctimonious idiot who is far too fond of the sound of his own voice.

Billy Bragg gigs got painful at times because the bastard stopped with the music and just ranted.
