necktied
there is something about many englishmen that just prevents them from looking comfortable in a tie. i mean, perhaps its just those who work in my industry, but every time i see a picture of one of the boys in our UK offices, all decked out in their charming little shirts and ties, i just can't help but feel how wrong it seems. as though they're just counting down the seconds 'till they can rip off the tie and run down the pub for a pint, some crisps, and a quick game of footie on the telly. not that i blame them at all, but they wear their discomfort exactly as it must seem to them. it is both amusing and saddening. ah well. at least 90% of the beer they'll be getting round the pub puts the beer 'round here to shame. small mercies, my child. small mercies.
