Snobbish, vacuous pillocks

Stopping off for a bit of sun on the way back from CES I notice that a lot of the chaps have their swimming trunks on inside out.


Asking about this curious phenomenon, I’m told that they’re not wearing their trunks inside out, it’s just that a particular brand of swimming trunks, called Vilebrequin, puts the maker’s label on the outside of the waistband at the back.

This is done, apparently, to distinguish them from grotty old common swimming trunks which cost under £100.

What kind of snobbish and vacuous pillock suffers the indignity of apparently wearing his trunks inside out just to show he’s paid a hundred quid for them?

Then I’m told Tony Blair used to wear them.

There you are then. That kind of snobbish and vacuous pillock.
