This is me and some Margiela trousers which appear to be, but are not, made with a cellotape waistband and which I can't possibly afford but which I will buy the moment they're on sale (when also won't be able to afford them).

Or a serial killer fairy tale with Dwayne Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jamar. 16!!

I managed even lower: 15/100 for a Kathy Bates erotic thriller. Try it! tentpolegame.com

ANYWAY I don't think a lower possible score can be achieved than with a Kathy Bates / Emily Watson erotic thriller. I win

Sorry the scoring is bullshit, there's no world where a Terry Gilliam musical starring Bruce Willis makes money

I mean I would TOTALLY watch this. If you heard about it you'd be like, ooooh interesting. Streep villain we love that.

Yeah becoming a bit of a trend. I've not tried one of these video rear-view cameras yet - they've done something interesting with this one, putting the screen at the base of the windscreen to minimise difference in focus length from the view out

Anyway, they finally released the much-debated electric Jaguar and yeah I want one. 5.2 metres long, 1015 bhp, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds (standard electric fast), but also 60-112mph in 4 seconds (bonkers).

(pocket extends behind the waistband so bottom can't stretch over time, placket has reinforcement behind to prevent puckering around the buttons, sleeves are more comprehensively fully fashioned)

The pockets on the cardigan are actually patch pockets, set in so perfectly by hand that they appear to be completely seamless. Its modern equivalent is skimpier weight, does not manage perfect concealment and costs £675.

Immense satisfaction from finally repairing a couple of excellent vintage bits: fantastic Johnstons of Elgin cashmere of a quality you basically can't buy anymore, and a 90s Etro field jacket. For quality of repair comparisons, original (other side) then fix, below. I'm hard on pockets.

Would have been these. I don't know about the hijacker but they sure scare me

Incredible stuff. Is it a male thing that I've imagined being heroic on a plane (usually during flights in Business so near the front), and this bit, taking the controls (however briefly) is the best bit? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/w...

In the end enough of the second hand people were annoying that I just bought this Séfr coat on deep sale:

My last night in Cirencester (new job next week) and thus my last night parking in the dream parking spot outside the hotel that no-one else seems to realise is not restricted 6pm-8am.

So reading this closely your proposal to help the 2 million pensioners in poverty is to give money to the 9.6 million who aren't? And you propose this as the best way to spend £30bn?

This is hilariously bad but can I show you my favourite bit? Pay particular attention to the last sentence, then consider how, if at all, it relates to the preceding ones.

"Hello, I'm selling trousers for 400 quid. I've not measured them, I've just quoted size 48 formal waist size conversion, which is not actually the real measurement of the waistband and yes, ignored your question"

In trousers news, Ferragamo continues to be fantastic and I will be getting the green trousers and if all goes well workwise, the bag too (it's a new colour of a style I already covet).

Rather fabulous large satinwood Carlton House desk which needs a rather large office first. But ideal, I touch type so screens could go on the raised bit.

Thanks. It's a bit of a 'mare to own as it's dry-clean only due to the appliqués

Really fit Sorrento marquetry table, wondering if could replace my little dining table until I have (quite a lot) more space and it can become a library table.

Antiquing in very much Trousers. As ever, a salutary reminder that genuinely exquisite stuff often costs less than Oak Furniture Warehouse or similar. But also of the entire classes of furniture we don't really need any more.
