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!

Did somebody mention SOCKS?

I need to buy some!


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

Was it one of your own or someone else's?

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...
