My igent-century tone-down detoxification programme a.k.a how not to

Pity Homo = mecca                                                        Baselworld = mecca
Hangs out in placed called "Social" something                   Has dinner at places with a French name that have been around for long
Fixed gear bicycle                                                          At least kind enough to brake for idiots on fixed gear bicycles
Runs a blog                                                                   Owns a dog in the country, keeps pied a terre dog-free
Discusses Napoli tailors with his freelancer friends             Buys RTW and worries about other things in life

^ Walking in a winter wonderland are we? How much do you pay for your 'gear'? It certainly trips the switch!!

I was with your Beestonplace, until you mentioned owning a dog. I managed to step in a load of dog kacalachi this afternoon, undignified and repellent stuff, and I mean the owners!

Also wearing horn-rimmed spectacles is acceptable, so long as you are genuinely myopic, like me.

I'm guilty on a few counts - horn rimmed glasses, narrow lapels, knitted ties...
