From Hilton:

“I mean, it’s not so much an underpant as it is a feat of engineering. I mean, it’s amazing how much they can do with so little material! And the way they play with your mind! Is it there? Is it not there?” - quote from Joey Tribbiani off Friends

With the HK lady, the answer is simple and clear cut. It’s not there. It doesn’t seem to matter what age, what size, big pants are the order of the day. They spend thousands each year on the latest designer cut, tight fitting trousers which show off the lovely Chinese aarrssee, but then borrow a pair of their grandma’s pants to wear underneath. Have they not heard of VPL?

He, along with a lot of other lads, is aghast at the size of underwear worn by the lovely ladies of Hong Kong. We put it to Gunther, the man most wasted in his current job:

No human quest has been so vigorously campaigned, so unforgivingly cruel, and yet so stupendously fruitless, as that most solemn search for the g. The quests for the grail and the lost ark of the covenant – both grand in design & by the legions of men with whom it enchanted & swallowed on ill-gotten desert plains – pale into insignificance when judiciously compared to that most tormenting search for the g in Hong Kong. The quest for the g is the most holy of grails, and indeed if this were to be the case, none would disagree that we few, we unhappy few, we band of brothers find ourselves in the most ‘unholy’ of lands. The mystery posed by our present location and the incredible absence of the g, helps contextualize what I believe Churchill was trying to say when he described Soviet-Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”. We should be surrounded by an oasis of flowing waters & green pastures and yet our discoveries yield nothing but a g-less barren desert.

So, why do so many wear huge pants? Where should we be looking?

I know I said I’d update at the weekend. However ….. I forgot I had a work mate in town, so my no-drinking took a bit of a hit. Made it to 30 days though. Just trying to be a bit healthier.

A Big Friday followed by a few drinks on Saturday for the rugby meant that Saturday all day and Sunday morning were a write-off.

Anyway, got some stuff to do now, will try to sort out my photos later and see if I can upload some. Probably not though, I only got about 4 or 5 hours sleep last night, then up at 6 for the gym …. sooooo a little tired.
