..this revolutionary, new, highly technical, cutting edge concept - the 'belay jacket system' ...... is basically to take a big warm coat with you and then put it on when you get cold.

Erm, I think my mum came up with this one.

Not just any coat though, it has to have a huge snuggly hood and be lined with fluffy synthetic insulationy stuff. You can hang your mitts on a string around your neck too. That's the revolutionary captive mitt system.

For a proper captive mitt system you have to thread the string through the sleeves of your jacket

Yep - so when someone pulls one - the other whacks you in the ear.

One of my fave words of all time is "snood".
It's such a sensuous word - like it's so ergonomic..snooooooood

Speaking technically, Richard, a buff is actually a shaved snood - an awful cruelty and franckly a practice that, like bear baiting, has no place in these enlightened times and should be banned.


Three versions of monkey!! I can feel my mind boggling quite alarmingly.
