Our Boys in WW2 fought for our freedoms so why can't I be a gimp? Is that not what the poppy symbolises?

You must be able to get a poppy gimp suit and writhe around patriotically to show respect for the dead.

IMO he’s really pulling this look off and they should hire him to pose for all local news photographs from now on; gimp pointing angrily at potholes, gimp with arms folded scowling at pizza with meagre portions of pepperoni, etc.

I'm not an alcoholic, 'cos I'm knocking back the poison in a big wine glass and it's from a posh shop, unlike you hopeless plebs with your cheap garbage poured into a medley of glasses nicked from pubs.

You and whose knees?

The best part about the Somerset Gimp is that he told the arresting officers “I’m not a gimp, I don’t own a gimp suit, I’m not in a gimp suit" then the cops immediately found all his gimp suits and the self-insert fiction he'd written about wearing a gimp suit and becoming the Somerset Gimp

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
How did this:

gimp1
/ɡɪmp/
noun
1.
twisted silk, worsted, or cotton with cord or wire running through it, used chiefly as upholstery trimming.
2.
fishing line made of silk bound with wire.



Ah, I see, "You can see the thread up close here. You can see that it is a twisted thread, with the typical rope-like structure of a twisted thread."
I think they've been lurking ITT.

I think gimp has been in use to mean a rubber suit person for significantly longer than I've been alive, possibly even longer than you've been alive given how long terminology can stay underground, but I don't know why it means that.

Of course, to me it primarily means GNU Image Manipulation Program :goonsay:

Oh yes I knew what a gimp suit was (indeed a friend and I visited one of those shops in Soho once and passed further & further into the back behind ever more curtains confronted with more & more scary gear) I was just wondering how the name of a particular silk thread became the name of a rubber (or vinyl whatever) suit.

I/P - no photos just a political thing



Meanwhile in "humanitarian pause" land - this is how it is being 'sold' behind the scenes in the US & almost certainly behind the scenes to the diabolical Sunak & Starmer duo.
Meanwhile ceasefire is being sold as a means of hamas regrouping.

"humanitarian pause" is an incredible term because it immediately invites the suggestion that we should resume the inhumanity as soon as possible.

Pretty sure he was the best in my lifetime, and I'm from the 60s so I'm obviously right.

Not sure why he has a building in Montreal. It's a bit weird frankly.

I had Wren design the kitchen in my old flat, and they sent a guy round who spend two hours on his laptop modelling out everything.

I then spent more than 3 weeks hassling them to try and get a start date for the work, before I gave up, sent the plans to a local guy and he built it for 2/3 the price.

It had that same vertical wine cooler.

That’s my Wren story.

I'd take Harold Wilson over Brown myself, in the fantasy ranking of PMs

Although unfortunately a prerequisite of being a political leader is being a oval office so it doesn't really matter, they all suck.

Is a gimp defined by the suit? Is a naked gimp still a gimp? Conversely, does anybody wearing the suit inevitably become a gimp? It’s basically The Mask rules?

Much to consider.
