    Grumpy and driving at 90 meters an hour... sounds like old age.

    So what is the valid dress code in the area you frequent?

    I think you might faint if you had to put up with Australian beaches budgy smugglers...

    I can relate. I went to the fanciest restaurant in a 20k person town recently ($20 dollar meals and whatnot) dressed in jeans, a buttoned shirt, and a scuffed up leather jacket. Amazingly, I was in perhaps the better dressed half of my age group and gender. Why go to such a place in a sweatshirt and basketball shorts?

    It doesn't seem right.

    Could be worse.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Mm. There does seem to be a dress code to life nowadays... I tried to get in with a pin-striped suit - and they refused, I was only let in naked and covered in slime, of all things. Funny thing is, now that I am through, I can wear whatever I like. Dunno who organised it all, but he or she must be nuts.
