Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

White jeans are meant to only be worn once. Either you can afford to do that (c.f. Liz Hurley) or you know you'll never get the Bloody Mary vomit stains out of them.

Having seen the trend for jeans that are spattered with paint or ripped it could be a new fashion statement.

Also Bloody Marys are a breakfast drink, maybe with an egg yolk for that extra protein.

Something something not the protein all over my jeans disgusting joke.

I had white jeans in about 1991 I wore them with Chelsea boots and a suede jacket to shoe gazing gigs like Slowdive and The Telescopes. Then I dyed then green with Dylon in a bucket. I’d have been refused entry to all but the most louche golf club

Ooh, Slowdive. Will give them a listen again tomorrow. Been a while.

(not wearing white jeans though)

Never had white jeans. Did once own a pair of cream moleskin trousers though.

If you haven't heard the comeback album, you really need to get back in there. Also, their KEXP session.

The danger of nepotism, explained in a BBC interview with Sienna Miller, gave me a golf club taste in my mouth:

Sienna Miller says her new Netflix drama highlights the "ignorance" of people who don't realise they have a head start in life and "don't think" about the struggles of those without the same privileges.

"There are people who are born lucky, 1,000%, and they have a leg up in life that makes it much easier."

"I'm not saying that their life is not without complications, because I think it's hard to be a human being, but I do think the absolute ignorance about what's given you the step up makes me angry and deserves analysis," she says.

"I don't think they ever spend time sitting around thinking about what it must be like for people who have to claw their way just to get to the starting line, you know. And it's that blinkered behaviour - and it's really unconscious - that this show really lays out."

Miller's own father was an investment banker and art dealer, and her mother was a model and assistant to David Bowie.

Fair play to her, she's more introspective than rich folks who don't recognise their own privilege.

I’ll see your white jeans and raise you a pair of red trousers

This year's winner of the Public Schools Golf Tournament looks like he was held back a year or two.

Rcp?

That blog is great

I think that is some RNSA shit going on, everyone who's passed the Cape of good hope can wear red trousers (if they're an as). Back home there's a certain kind of well tanned 60+ male that likes red trousers and shirts with small animals-pattern

Apparently mustard trousers are the new red.

Mustard or pink trousers are standard for a cotswold braggart.

I’m assuming that having made the programme and the statement above, that she is aware of her own privilege.

But yeah, zing. Well done for spotting the baseless assumed hypocrisy and inviting people to get outraged by it.

Fuck me, the internet is tedious

outrage

Don't think there is outrage in this thread, more mild amusement. I just thought that last line was funny in the context of the interview and the world of celebrity.

I was expecting more exotica from the Mason it hasn't even got Meilensteins 😉

You should be able to pick up saffron in any mid size or larger supermarket.

This is a very broad church.

Assume only non-vintage Champagne and late-bottled port?

I liked this bit from their FAQs:

Can I bring my own bike?
Yes, you can bring your own bike. However, our guests are always impressed by the Pinarello F12 Disk and many frequently purchase them and take them home at the end of the trip.
