Fran - that shirt is black. But I'm not wearing that shirt today, I'm wearing a blue one.

JD - I sense hidden stirrings in the makeup of your psyche. Embrace them. But not by wearing paper clothes...

Blue denim jeans as opposed to blue cardboard jeans, I presume?

How's about peroxide as a way of altering the head? Blonde might work with the orange.

And I can't believe how interested in this I've become.

Ah, you're dark blue denim shirt. Yes, you have one of those. Excellent choice. May I also suggest beige over orange?

And JD, please don't encourage Kris to peroxide his hair.

Hello everyone

Especially not in the rain - I hear it gets very messy and uncomfortable. Mainly for those running from the horror.

And Hello Jim!

I find it hard to believe I'm actually taking an interest in this, but here goes: Out of interest, what colour are the trousers?

I was going to say please reply only if they are present, but I'm not sure that's any better than you replying with, 'trousers?'.

It's a black shirt. Didn't we already deal with this?

Blue denim jeans, a brown leather belt with a large circular silver buckle, and brown suede shoes complete today's look.

Still worried about the head though.

Although I guess technically you could have been acusing the Jenkster of actually being a dark blue denim shirt...

Can I just point out the truely horrific use of you're in Fran's last comment. Shame on you!

And I never specified where to use the peroxide, despite hinting at it with the blonde reference. Other suggestions on where to use the peroxide are now invited.

Horrific! I'm getting out of this comments malark before I do anything else humiliating.

I used to be a permanent slice of denim, but these days I'm branching out into all kinds of clothes. And God sees that is good.

Hello Jim.

Can I just point out the truly horrific spelling of 'truly' in James' 11.16 comment, and his single c in 'accusing' in his 11.17?

Appears so.

I've seen it mentioned elsewhere on the Web that anyone pointing out someone's else's mistake will pretty much always then make one themselves.

To conform to this, I hereby spell the final word in this sentence incorecylt.

Let's - and this isn't aimed at *anyone* specifically, but *everyone* - do let's have an amnesty on pointing out typographical errors, whether we think it's a genuine mistake or ignorance. I'm getting fed up with it. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's a touch hypocritical (again, NOT aiming this at anyone specifically) and just, well, whatsit. You know the word... not 'pedantic'. Petty, possibly. Snobbish, perhaps. Patronising. Condescending.

I'm serious - can we stop pointing out spelling/grammer/syntax mistakes? Everyone? Everyone? Buellerrrrrrrrrrr? If you *have* to do it, could you put it in an e-mail rather than leaving it in public?

D'oh!

I consider myself properly chastised.

And Fran; Don't leave us!

Grammar. See? Rule confirmed yet again.

Presumably I don't have to make a mistake this time as am pointing out my own mistake, but I will do just to be on the safe sedi.

Okay Jim, calm down. I agree, an appeal for higher standards is better than a nitpicking trawl across the internet. But I would say that, as I know I'm one of the worse offenders for typos.

Meanwhile, if I may, I'd like to politely remind you all that we're supposed to be talking about me, and how fabulous I am. Thank you.

Yeah, but you'd be more fabulous with peroxide blonde hair to go with that shirt/t-shirt combo...

I like being made aware of my mistakes. I'd rather that than have them roaming there in my name unknowingly.

But yes, by email is better than boring everyone with it.

As a last thought on the clothes thing, it occured to me on the way home that the same look might work equally well with a pink T-shirt. Shocking, I know, but seeing as I have a plan to dramatically reduce my use of black and white clothes over the next 12 months, it's worth a try...

Of course we all missed the obvious gag here - why would you want to pull your head off?

If Jon Pertwee can do it, then it's good enough for me.
