I was on the bus to Manchester on Saturday and I spent so long in the bath just before I left the house that I pretty much washed my body away, and I felt like I was floating through the sunshine. That was pretty cool.

Last week I spent £20 on a pair of Sealskinz waterproof socks for a weekend biking expedition in the Peak District, together with a pair of Specialized Submerge waterproof gloves.

My initial smugness evaporated when said gloves were about as water resistant as damp poppadums, but stubbornly refused to dry out, leaving me with fingers chilled to the bone.  The Sealskinz performed admirably until I ended up biking through deep water which came up to my knees, soaking the cotton socks I was wearing underneath, which in turn wicked the moisture to my toes.  

Pleasure for me was seeing the sun come out (eventually), having a hot shower afterward and a warm meal.  Bliss!

I once found a sock that had been wanked into so much that it was stiff as a board.

Urgh! Just what I need to be reading about as I sit here eating my lunch....


Kind of getting back on topic, I live in a house (well, am currently moving from it) with no central heating, and I find I don't really feel the cold compared to my friends...

Ohh... I hope it was mine... I found it when cleaning out my bedroom before I went of to Uni... I estimate that it had "suffered" about 5 years of abuse before being lost down the back of the bed :-D

@ Bloodline

 :laughing:

That one had me laughing a lot.

Speaking of nasty socks, when I was at boarding school I had a problem with one of my room-mates. He would let out the most vile farts right there in the room and it was dreadful. Anyway he wouldn't change this behaviour so I set about getting my revenge. There was a squash court at the school and I played several afternoons one week without changing my socks. By the Friday these socks had their own pulse and were nicely 'animated'.
When the guy went to see if there was any mail for him in the dorm-master's office I unfastened the press-studs of his duvet cover and stuffed one sock right in the bottom of the cover. The other one I stuffed in his pillowcase.

Now you might think it was unwise for me to hide the second sock in the pillowcase where it would surely be found within ten minutes. But...that was exactly the reason I did it. He found the sock in the pillowcase, almost puked, and threw it away. Yet over the next two days the smell lingered around his bed.
"Don't worry," I said, "it's just the smell of that sock lingering on. Get some air freshener, mate."

It took a few days for him to realise that there was another sock and it was in his duvet cover. The farting was much reduced after that  :-)

Haha!  Nice one X-ray, a farter always gets what they deserve in the end...  

My office seems to have several people bent on revenge for different misdemeanours.  Our boss is in his late 60s and is somewhat forgetful, but occasionally can be a real tyrant.  One chap was so incensed that he peed on said boss's chair, in the hope that the other bosses would notice the odour and suspect iminent senility.

Another act of revenge involved a couple of drops of Optrex being added to said boss's coffee.  The effect was sudden and explosive to say the least.

Perhaps the most disgusting act of vengence came in the summer.  One particular member of staff here has been the source of some particularly nasty and malicious gossip, not to mention fiddling the cost efficiency reports of people he doesn't like.  One disgruntled victim was suffering on a particularly hot and sweaty afternoon and noticed that his tormentor had left his coffee mug unattended in the kitchen.  Said mug was liberally applied to sweaty and distinctly unpleasant body areas before being replaced...

Actually I did consider that, but then I would have to move the "iS" over, which would mean copying it, removing it completely from the original and reconstructing whatever was underneath, cutting the letter out, and then replacing it in the new location. That's too much effort ;-)
