The Apple shop on Regent Street is always busy but I had to go there to buy a cable to hook my stereo up to the laptop so I could use it to play iTunes.
And I needed a mouse too.
While there I see the MacBook Air which makes me long for it. I can't get near one because there are too many tourists using the shop as an internet cafe which is very irritating.
Instead I decide to play with an iPod Touch because I think I want one instead of the iPhone.
So I'm playing around with the Touch and go to the web application which opens on a Facebook account page.
This is obviously what someone called Christina W______ was playing with on this particular Touch before I picked it up.
Yee-ha!
Of course the temptation is far too great.
In situations like this the mantra "less is more" is important so I do three things...
1/ Poke a whole bunch of people who Christina knows
2/ Write a rude comment on one of Christina's friend's walls
3/ Change Christina's status update
So her status reads something like:
"Christina feels completely sexy after being spit-roasted. Thanks John and Martin - that was hot..."
And I type this message on Martin's wall (whoever he is):
I don't know why I find this so funny but I do.
I think what amuses me most is imaging what people who don't really know Christina will think, when they see what she's supposed to have written.
I leave the Apple shop with a ridiculous grin on my face.
So I come back to the gold (or chocolate, according to aussiebum - who are they trying to kid?) trunks that are still staring at me from on top of the chest of drawers where they're in a pile with the new underwear.
There is something about them that is strangely compelling.
Having said that I would NEVER wear them in public I feel that I am back-peddling now because I'm not sure if they look absolutely ridiculous.
After the pictures yesterday I did some tidying up with the clippers and I have to say that I do think they look quite fit.
And I'm not sure if this is me losing sight of reality (and decency laws) or if they really do look like a cheap costume from a Z-grade porn movie. Which is maybe the point to them.

Have you taken Christina W's details to facebook stalk her and see if there was any fallout from your days activities?
Are you going to keep the budgy smugglers now then? Having seen LPs efforts with them I think a tidy forest and missing happy trail makes them look better.
Have you flipped the picture or not done in a mirror this time - the labels changed side?
Your marrow and tatties also seem to be less prominent this time - which is not necessary a good thing :P.
I just don't see the problem with those trunks. Of course they may look completely diferent in person, in which case I'm willing to come round and personally inspect them. But I warn you, I'm very thorough and hands on!
Fleet: I think it's best to leave poor Christina alone now...
When I got home I tried to look her up but couldn't find her. Her surname (and name) is pretty common...
I think the other picture is a revserse because the label is on the right hand side.
What I think happened was that the photo was taken upside down.
And I have to say that once tidied, they do look a lot better...
Bolt: You're welcome to come and inspect them if you like of course. And if you're as hands-on as the security staff at Heathrow Terminal 3 then I imagine it's a pretty thorough going over...! :-)
I would have the done exactly the same to Christina and maybe worse. Well done
Also I like how we just can't resist those "chocolate" trunks - we just can't help ourselves, this golden lure is too much
LP: I am afraid that in week's time I am going to be saying that these trunks are my favourite piece of clothing that I have ever bought.
Is it cold in here or is it just me? Your portfolio is less impressive today. Damn you have the perfect body for them. And the color I'm sure would give a person pause thinking you were nude. Atleast if they are like me sans their contacts on the beach. I love the purple undies. How about a pic in those? :)Shirley you don't need anyones approval, you know you look hot as hell.
I have to say that the chocolate trunks are much better after a visit from the clippers, but I think we need to see more to be able to tell properly.
Plus it's good to see that I'm not the only one that likes to try to alienate unknown people from their friends when given the chance.
Good job on the clean up with the clippers.
Do you think you would feel any different about the swimsuit if it were in a different color? You know, like chocolate?
I think you look fine. Definitely better after the trim.
The trim makes a big difference. I think they're probably a little too small for you, just a touch, but you should definitely still wear them in SA.
As for Christina, you should have poked yourself with her profile, then you could have checked her out all week and watched the madness unfold as she desperately tried to explain things to her friends :)
I've got some trunks you can bottow to wear on the beach. They are long and would go donw to about to top of your knees. They have a cool pattern on them with palm trees and a sunset etc. So basically, they are orangish, brown and green.

shame man, nasty nasty nasty.
karma gonna get ya, but on the other hand...so many ppl leave their profiles open on skkype/msn aswell in internet cafes so always a bit of fun to fuck around with their friends lol
i've got the white aussiebum speedo and they are completely transparent when wet. i can't wear 'em anywhere apart from in the bedroom!
;op
CJ: thanks for the compliment but who is Shirley??
Oliver: I think it's that passive aggressive streak - once you have it, you can't shake it. No matter what.
jon & timmy: clippers are god's gift really... they have made a huge difference.
Graham: So I didn't want to leave ANY evidence that I fiddled with poor Christina's profile. I wonder if she had a good Monday? Mwahahaha!
Carl: Thanks for the offer but I dunno if they'll get to the UK in time? Unless you Fedex them!? Which will probably cost more than the value of the trunks... :-)
Seahorse: People who hog the Macs in the Apple shop to surf Facebook deserve to be fucked with.
AA: I think that's going to have to be the limit to the gold trunks. Though I think I will give them at least ONE outing on the beach. Maybe!
