I find rolling sleeves to be much more acceptable than the short sleeved shirt.

You... you're not... you're not wearing a... tie, are you?

The fucks wrong with short sleeved shirts now? Work clothes such as shirts, suits ties etc are all shit and stupid anyway, you might as well be comfortable.

Exactly. Short sleeved shirts serve no purpose. If you need to look smart and it's hot, wear a shirt. If you don't need to look smart and it's hot, wear a T-shirt.

I'm fine with short sleeved shirts, though I'd generally usually go with long sleeve and rolled cuffs. Never short sleeved with a tie though. That way madness lies.

Rolled sleeves if double cuff (because never single cuff, are you at school?)and only if you are about to deliver a baby in the street or something like that.

Ties are bad things most of the time, formal wear only.

Rolled up sleeves make you look like a right sausage. Like David Cameron or somecunt.

This coming from a man wearing a short sleeved shirt...at work! What are you? A junior manager of a shoe shop?

(Of course this is coming from a person sitting in an office where it is over 40 degrees in the sun outside...and wearing a tie).

I have a mid June baby and a late July baby. I very much know where you are coming from and it is a hellishly uncomfortable place. Ice cubes, fans, cool baths.

A woman at work mentioned in passing that she didn't know how to turn the aircon on in her Land Rover as there was no button marked AC. I told her to look for the one with a snowflake on, and she said she thought that was only for use in winter (but didn't know what it might do.

She's had this car for 7 years.

Yeah in a Land Rover that is indeed the winter button. Deadly to use it in this heat, you've probably killed her.

It was only the bit about olive shops that tipped me off into reading the rest of it. The Guardian seem to be doing a lot of taking the piss out of themselves lately which is good but I can't help but wonder if acknowledging that it is frequently so laughably middle class, London-centric and twee means that they should be reconsidering their editorial policy a bit. The rest of the paper just seems to steer lots of people away from the good journalism they do still do because the paper is clearly not meant for them.

If you use it with row numbers, and get up to =ROMAN(441144) it calls you a taxi and berates you for not spending any time with the driver.
