    People buying a loaf of bread and getting it sliced and put in a bag. Madness. Bread goes soft.

    Heard this baggy trouser one differently. It started out in gangs in LA. Poor kids couldn't afford new trousers and so inherited hand-me-downs from their elder brothers. The bigger your brother, the further down your arse your jeans would hang. So it became a way of saying, don't mess with me 'cos my brother is bigger than your brother.

    Interesting. Could be a bit of both then

    The way I understand it, when the gang-bangers were arrested, the cops would take away their belts so they couldn't hang themselves with them, or use them as a weapon.

    It started with black American Street gangs some years back.
    When guys came out of prison they had often lost a lot of weight and their trousers/jeans didn't fit them....this was a sign that they had just come out and the gangs started to wear theirs in the same way out of....believe it or not...'respect.'
    100% certain of this because I saw it on that US prisons programme a year or so back and a number of 'brothers' were interviewed and were talking about it.

    Some people have a strange idea of what "respect" means.

    People in such a hurry to be the first off the plane and you find them hanging around waiting for their bags. Why????

    not forgetting that if they get really close to the carousel it might make their luggage arrive quicker !

    They are most likely rushing to get through immigration 'before' they collect their baggage....that I can understand.
    If you time it right your bags might (with any luck) be on the carousel when you get there, I must admit I normaly try to get to immigration as quickly as I can....getting your baggage quicker isn't so much of an issue as it isn't actually a queue and is more 'in the lap of the gods', so once I clear immigration I tend to slow down a bit.

    Queers & The Voice? Sounds as though you'd get on with some Millwall fans a lot more than you'd think.
