of course! this is me on Saturday

I guess it's to imply that this clothes are v practical?

I don't ever seem to see people in adverts dressed as I do for cycling, on a bike. (pirate socks, cargoey city shorts etc)

Never mind that they are never wearing helmets.

NotQuiteCockney · 28/03/2007 08:39

I'm pretty sure that cycling along laughing like a loon makes a crash more likely. They really do need helmets, don't they ...

Is there a big market for 'rowing with partner' outfits? And 'loading dishwasher huffily' outfits?

What about 'MNing with a glass of wine, ignoring partner' outfits?

never see anyone staring at a laptop

NotQuiteCockney · 28/03/2007 08:42

I think laughing really hard and typing frantically would make for a better photo.

Or maybe just laughing and looking mad like the cyclists? While sitting at a laptop?
