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

I've been sorting out the laundry today - getting everything washed and dried and the like.

I suspect owning sixteen pairs of jeans is pushing the envelope somewhat. I honestly don't recall buying so many, but there we go...

Even I only own 10 pairs of jeans.

Admittedly since I gave up smoking only 3 pairs still fit.

I should probably go on a diet...

That's a mad number of pairs of jeans. Five should be more than enough. That's still enough to last a good couple of weeks without a trip to the launtrete.

I can't remember any time over the last five or six years that I've had more than three pair.

Blimey... and I thought I was being extravigant when I bought four* pairs of jeans at Christmas, previously never having had more than three (that fitted) at any one time. I threw out two pairs of jeans today, which were old ones I had for some reason kept when I bought the four new pairs

I have two pairs of jeans. And I only bought the second pair because the first have a hole in the arse and I now only wear around the apartment... except when I forget about the hole and take a walk to the mailbox.

I do however have seven or eight pairs of trousers of one description or another (mostly khakis and chinos) because I can only wear them at work for a day or two before they need to be washed.

And then there's Sunday best

Hmm; I have 4 pairs of jeans, one of which I've owned since I was 16.

My grand total of trousers is little more. I feel (and smell) a bit like Baldrick.

I trust you have a washing machine at home and were drying it all internally. Or else the clients at the lauderette and the neighbours would have had an eyeful if you were washing everything.

i have 3 pairs of jeans which are all on their... last legs (soooorrryyy).

since a pair of proper levis here cost nearly 100€, my upcoming vacation in sunny california comes just in time!

100€?


I think $50 is too much to pay and I buy a brand sold at the sporting goods chain store for $20.

Evisu x 2, Prada, Diesel x 3, Firetrap, Full Circle, One True Saxon, Fenchurch and Hugo Boss. I tend to buy expensive...

Hmm...the word's 'silk purse' spring to mind.

Dammit! Where did that apostrophe come from? Makes me look illiterate, it does.

My current Jeans inventory: 2 x H&M blue, 1x Marks and Spencers blue, 1X Burton blue, 1X Levi Strauss Black, 1x BHS black.

I also have four pairs of work trousers (black, BHS), three pairs of suit trousers (two black, one grey with white pinstripe, all from harvey Malcolm taylors in Liverpool), a pair of green cotton, and a pair of kind of creamy coloured ones from Marks and Spencer which are made of some kind of Nylon/Lycra mix.

Please, I beg of you, don't wear that latter pair of trousers in the vicinity of me,

All mine are from online shop for the freakish. The joys of a 37" inside leg...

Blimey, someone with longer legs than me- mine are only 36"

I have three pairs, and they could all do with being thrown out.

I did have eight, but have recently just had to abandon two pairs because on one the button holes had grown larger than the buttons and that's just annoying, and the other one had an unidentified, unremovable stain (probably a beverage of some sort) on it and it annoyed me.

I have to have lots because they are in different colours and styles, and because I recently lost weight I had to get some new pairs. I can't ditch the old ones because I don't think it's going to be too much longer before I get all my weight back again.

"Blimey, someone with longer legs than me- mine are only 36""

It's the "only" that makes me laugh.
