    Yep that all sounds do-able, but you will have to explain the paper clips - that sounds a bit perverted that does. Is there a dress code for this mod room? I do have a parka with "Quadrophenia" printed on the back, but it's at the dry cleaners as the cat pissed on it.

    Your cat clearly has excellent musical tastes.

    That should look quite effective over the blue latex gimp suit.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    It certainly does, although it was a bit embarrassing when visiting my mum - she always made me take the parka off, as 'I won't feel the benefit' when I go out.

    Those gimp suits (or track suits, as they call them in Stoke-on-Trent) are so comfortable and practical too, I'm surprised they fell out of fashion in the eighties

    If I told you that before you were granted access to the 'inner chamber', I'd have to kill you. I can promise though, that it doesn't tickle.

    He just wants to go in the mod room I think. With his parka. Which I bet he doesn't really have.

    Just his parka? Not sure we could allow that on the grounds of decency. You know how particular we are about things like that. And then there's the nits.
