And this is relevant to this thread or, cycling even, how?
To clear this one up, it may not be directly relevant to the thread or cycling but the experience @greenhell had with Sean Sakinofsky as a child provides much needed colour and insight to the story of how Sean Sakinofsky came to be a professional sock salesman.
Sure, we could just talk about it in simple factual terms (South African man designs socks, sells them on internet) but it would be a pretty cold and sterile story and not at all engaging.
Greenhell's experience speaks to Sean's very character: it may help to explain how he became a veiny legged, sock-selling, wank-talking, freckled purveyor of garish sock designs through the ether.
Perhaps that's what happens to people who can't hack a simple childhood sleepover - who knows - but it is common journalistic practice and if you work in advertising I'm surprised you're not aware of it.
You're young and work in advertising, so you must watch Netflix: think of it as the character development episodes where not a lot happens.

yup. in fact, i remember he was dropped off at our gaff for a "sleepover" many, many moons ago. parents would take turns in those days to get shot of their kids for a night so they could go to the movies etc. Sean lasted about 2 hours before he started crying so hard his mum had to come fetch him.
i don't know why i remember this.
we were only about 8 at the time.
