Does all this mean that lederhosen were intended to be worn by journalists?

FreudianSlippers posted:The British use Traveller as they have two distinct and unrelated groups of Travelers. The Romani and Irish Travellers (Mincéirí). Only two? smdh There are also the Scottish Highland Travellers (usual slur being "tinks") who are recorded as far back as the 12th century (and are not relocated Irish Travellers), and the travelling fairground/market showmen families some of whom have possibly been around since the late medieval period. The Romani also have several distinct regional lineages (e.g. the Welsh Kale). og New Age Travellers =/= "Basically hippies/crusties". There was a fundamental and massive DIY anarcho-punk influence at their roots* and a non-negligible rasta input**. Crusties appropriated chunks of the aesthetic but didn't generally pick up the essential practical skills needed for a life on the road. There was also a later offshoot of the NA Travellers that returned to exclusively horse-drawn transport (though afaik most of them ended up leaving Britain because this is a hard lifestyle when local councils constantly freak out over attempts to graze your horse on "public" land or verges, and entitled twats in cars keep calling the cops cos your slow moving transport delayed their oh so vital journey) and a very recent trend of stealth travellers using vehicles that aren't visibly designed to live in. *See Penny Rimbaud of Crass' excellent book The Last of the Hippies for more. ** Marley's Redemption Song being a perennial campfire favourite for example.

Captain Hygiene posted:Wait til you hear about the lyrics to the alphabet song. Might want to sit down Since the whole drat point of the alphabet song is to teach the alphabet in alphabetical order it'd be pretty bloody pointless to have them in any other one. Though "O G I M N X T C Y L singin' out my F H Z, Q E D on my new P V, A K B 3 S the one for me, smoked a fat J up in a tree a W now U R to cross-eyed me ." does have a certain something I guess, and potential for a lucrative sponsorship deal. I'd just really never thought about the order of A E I O U before because why would you? It's a nice logical phonic progression as well as being in order.
