RIBBED OR SENSITIVE?


I'm a bit of a woman when it comes to travelling. I can never decide what I am likely to need when I travel and as a result tend to pack EVERYTHING!

I have questions that I ask myself such as "how many pairs of underwear am I likly to go through in a day?" or "Do I need underwear at all?"

As a result of this I usually end up with a suitcase that is just a tad over the limit of the usual 20kgs allowed - with six different types of hat, gloves, seventeen t-shirts and four pairs of jeans, six different pairs of swimming shorts etc. etc.

I have however come upon a solution. My father was recently travelling to spain on a flight and had the unfortunate event of being charged extra for the luggage being overweight. What a bummer. Anyway after all complaints failing he got on the plane only to be sat next to the fattest man this side of the Milky Way. I can only picture it but put it this way - the arm rest designed to separate the man from my father no longer existed. It become horrid when he had to lift the guys fat in order to fasten his own fucking seatbelt. I kid you not. Anyway... I digress. This has made me realise that the one thing airlines do not do at the moment (I'm sure a fat tax is on its way) is weigh you. Ahhhaaaaa.

So this now opens up a whole opportunity of hidden body luggage... and this got me thinking further - you know how you get people bringing drugs into the country in condoms that they have either swallowed or... well you know inserted, well you could do the same with clothing. Certain items anyway - I mean I wouldn't want to try to 'insert' a condom with a jumper in but socks could be okay right? If timed right you might get back a pair a day - which would also help with storage - although thinking about it they are likly to be odd aren't they - a bit like the national lottery. I should do a pamphlet on this.

Anway I will leave you with that thought. I'm off now to try and see whether I look presentable when wearing all of my clothes at the same time. Does my bum look big in these seven pairs of pants?

I never knew we has this in common. I do exactly the same. I went away for one day and packed 4 different t-shirts as I didn't know which one I would feel like wearing.

I also packed 3 spare pairs of pants. I have never had to change my pants during the day since I was 3! 4 pairs of socks - why?

Imagine if we went travelling for 3 months, we would need an articulated fucking lorry!

I once went skiing with an articulated fucking lorry. Somebody said it would be sunny so I took seventeen pairs of trunks. Happy days.

Next year I plan to go back packing with a trailer.

seventeen pairs of trunks. That’s a little excessive how many days did you go for??? I must admit I over pack as well! You can never have enough clothes! Did you not think it would be cold??
