A pen is what most use it for
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: Red Shirts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirt_%28character%29" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"Redshirt" is a term for a stock character in fiction who dies soon after being introduced. The term originated with fans of Star Trek (1966–1969), from the red shirts worn by Starfleet security officers who frequently die during episodes.
Which is why I would never wear one, I'm expendable enough without that.

Re: Red Shirts.
I think they are popular as easier to iron or something. Prefer blue myself

Polo shirts - not my favourite style of top - too much like the Lacoste fashion from the 80s.Pat Ostman wrote:I think they are popular as easier to iron or something. Prefer blue myself

Re: Red Shirts.
I believe it's where Royal Mail recommend you thread the noose through after you've put it round your neck. I believe it's due to H & S rules. However they regret to say that you have to provide your own tree to attach the other end to.sequinn wrote:Does anyone know what the loop is for on the left sleeve of the new red polo shirts?

You obviously haven't had your revision yet because then you wouldn't have time to smoke, maybe P&L is a conspiracy by the anti smoking lobbyunionjack0 wrote:dont get on with the red polo shirt,nowhere to put me fags and lighter
