Had just a bowl of potato and onion soup for junch today. I recently tipped the scales at 15st6½ so need to row back from that shit.

Pants as in trousers, or pants as in pants? One would be more embarrassing than the other.
Lunch: gigantic burrito from Tortilla at Canary Wharf. As most of my lunches comprise something grim cobbled together from the remains of the fridge, my one office day per week represents really quite a thrilling range of gastronomic options. A smorgasbord, if you will.

lol - I hadn't seen this before. I now feel even worse about my posting falling off! A lot of things had/have changed in my life (work, family, usual) and it really felt as though I'd lost whatever mojo I ever possessed. There were pleasures in coming back and just reading what everyone else was doing, but this always felt like the sort of place where you had to be a participant for it to really work.

Pants as in underpants. I went to school wearing a pair of boxer shorts over a pair of underpants. There were no trousers involved.

I once went swimming in a pair of white underpants, thinking they would be an adequate substitute for swimming trunks. Regrettable.

I can only imagine they either thought it was absolutely hilarious, or that I would learn an important life lesson from the experience.

I don't think I really fully understood the concept of 'boxer shorts' back at that age. I can't have been more than about six years old. I thought it meant they were the sort of shorts that boxers wore, and that everyone would be totally impressed by my awesome shorts.

Fucking hell, man. That's really cold. It makes me angry because it reminds of the suite of photos my parents have of me stalking through the New Forest in green underpants, pretending to be Robin Hood.

Yeah, you really rely on your parents at that young age to give you sound guidance and I'd have to say they really let me down there. I think they may have queried my decision but obviously never really explained that boxer shorts were underwear not outerwear. Maybe they assumed I would know such things, but never considered that I wouldn't know if they had never told me in the first place. Either way, whether they thought my decision to go out dressed like that was a result of ignorance or some kind of eccentric flambouyance, the point is that they simply shouldn't have allowed me to go out of the house like that.
Anyway, if they wanted to teach me a lesson, it's certainly one well learned. You certainly wouldn't catch me coming to work wearing womens' footwear like my colleague.

Nah I'm pretty normal these days. I'm not sure what I was trying to say about myself back then. These days I'm usually wearing a polo shirt and a fleece. Good, dependable clothing that doesn't stand out or draw attention to itself.

I think these should be brought to light pro bono publico.

I don't think so. Anyway, they only exist as slides, so unless you know someone with the special scanner attachment, there's no real way of getting them on the computer. Or you could project them onto the side of the houses of parliament, I guess.

I just read all 5 pages. Nice to see some people who don't check in.
Pretty sure I'm a Pre-Novemberist. Think I joined See-Thru in 2001. Ten years ago is a long time ago to remember. Although, I do know some of you on FB, which is nice. Nice to keep in touch. I miss TMO a lot...you guys are awesome!
