Obviously the police aren't fans of swimwear...

I have to disagree, Mr P looks rather fine in his.

I may have to agree with Pogle here : Dear BGG please go & buy some speedos & then "model" them for me

The French won't let you in a public pool if you're not wearing a pair of 'budgie smugglers', I've yet to hear a satisfactory answer as to why swim shorts are banned?

[original PM]

apparently it is because shorts bring too much water out of the pool


personally i think it is to make slightly overweight middle aged blokes look faintly ridicolous

I mean lets face it when you go to buy a calippo from the ice cream seller you worry about 'pop up'!

I once walked the entire length of a beach wearing speedo's when I was in my teens, I couldn't understand why people were giggling as I strode by?

It was only when I sat down that I realised a little bit of scrotum was peeking out.

"Investigators believe the policeman fired four shots, two of them hitting Mr Heilman in the chest."

Stood over a bloke on the floor, two shots missed?

Can one of our had-actual-experience-of-being-shot-at (i.e. ex-forces) residents comment on that for me? Surely a trained gun-user should be able to shoot a civvy from six feet away and not miss? Or is life not that simple?

Straying off topic slightly, I remember the days when once in a while a young lady could be seen getting out of the the pool with a swim suit on that had gone translucent after getting wet. Sadly swimming costumes appear to be better made these days.

Only UV gets through mine.
