» Stuff You've Overheard

Late night tube out of London a few years ago...
the carriage is pretty empty, there's me, a woman facing me a set of seats down and two blokes off to my left. The blokes are pretty standard gruff West Ham supporters (for lack of a better term).

Anyway, at one of the stops the campest man in the world gets on. West Ham supporters recognise him, "Oi! [xxx] over here! What you been up to you old poof?" (or similar)

So all three guys are having a good old chat, our hero is telling all his latest adventures complete with suitable innuendo and hand waving. Then he moves on his past conquests.

Now, he never named names but mentioned a 'reasonably famous politician' and that he shagged some well-known union leader at a TUC conference, "Talk about a tight exit..." - or words to that effect.

I had tears in my eyes from trying not to laugh, and the woman opposite wasn't doing much better.

Heatsink clothing
I get too hot in the summer and it would be really useful to have some thermaly conductive clothing with fins to massively increase my surface area. That would rock.

Could also have a night-time version with the fins on only one side.
