h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I (and several hundred others) once witnessed a poor young woman walking right the way across the concourse of Glasgow Queen St Station with a tear down the rear seam of her skintight lycra leggings. She wasn't wearing thermals underneath.

My brothers and I once saw a woman on a ski slope who bent over to fasten her boots. Her brown Lycra pants were split in the back; unfortunately, the inside of the seam was pink, so the oval that was formed looked exactly like... well, we almost died laughing once we were out of earshot.

I can't imagine *what* it looked like!

Were the pants fur-lined?

No, but dark brown, which was bad enough...
You can tell it was a memorable moment because this happened 35 years ago, and the image is still clear in my mind.

Guilty as charged, your honour. Glad I came here, though - a lovely story to counter Z's journal.

Oh, I'm sure it would have stayed in mine.

And despite the wardrobe malfunction you kept your form, kept control of the horse and completed the test, right? I hope this happened at an angle such that you mooned the judges.

I probably did

Wasn't much of a test, though, somehow they just had us warm them up and then jump. So I wonder whether the actual competition will be just as simple!

Presence of mind counts for a lot. But jumping only? I thought it was a dressage test.

That's what I thought. But this is Ireland, they all just care about jumping

I did make it to the team - not dressage but prix caprilli, so they must've been impressed with my jumping

They obviously saw some talent the other day

Congratulatons, Mala

Well done!

Congrats, Mala.

Well done.

Good news!

So this is Irish dressage.

No, I you'll find it's un-dressage.

*arrives fashionably late to the thread*
Thank you Mala, for the entertainment value of the thread, and for making the team!

It's all about loosing your trousers the right place and at the right time. Always was

Congrats from me as well Mala!
