   I often feel that I don’t get the full depth of strip without the back story ..

   @ baslimthebegger a colleague travelling in China was upset by spitting all round him so when he felt a tickle in his sinuses carefully took out his hanky, blew his nose thoroughly and put it back in his pocket.

   Immediately, everyone round him recoiled in horror - ‘was he really going to keep THAT in his pocket?’

   Popularity of boy shorts see G-string bring up rear Byline: By ERIN McCAFFERTY

   AFTER years of riding high the bottom has finally dropped out of the thong market.

   The tiny strip of panty material that took the fashion world by storm five years ago is starting to feel the pinch.
