"I hate fashion!" - Anon "No, I've told you before, it's covering a whole lot up" "What about ankle swinging, serial killers have ankle swinging" "What's next? F**king braces" "My girlfriend would be homeless" "I would cry, where have the knickers gone?" "Got a spare tenner?" "I would but I'm thin" "I like the 50s housewife look" "Why not? No more chills right!" "It reminds me of a French exchange trip" "What do they go with?" "Stuff it, I'm going gay!" "What's the point in wearing knickers anymore" |
