So last night while nursing a database move I happened to be watching men and motors. A programme called 'All the gear .... No Idea' came on. The idea is to turn a some one with a bike and bad taste into clothes into a style icon.

So last nights episode fetured a 17 year old perfectly respectable looking goth/geek/metaller all in black with interesting piercings and long hair. They turned him into a chav as if thats a good fashion to have, So he now has annoying spikey hair and wears camo trousers and a camo jacket over a hoodie. at least it wast burberrry i suppose. He seemed to be happy about this.

They also modded his bike. So it now has a dvd player and screen and a sound system. How long before it gets nicked? Especially since he seemed to live in essex.

Also miami vice rocks. Last night they had ian mcshane doing a very bad columbian accent

Current Mood: crappy

Men and Motors is the Single Male Virgin Channel from Tranmetropolitan.

Why on earth does a bike need a DVD player?

Hello!

Sounds like a bad rip-off Trinny & Susannah and Pimp my Ride! Coincidently, I've seen the british version of the latter with Tim Westwood and it's rubbish! Do you have any pictures of this poor bloke after his 'chav' makeover? Apostrophes because I reckon they turned him into one of these 'fashionxcore' types that are currently all the rage in 'alternative' fashion!

indeed it did seem like a cross over between what not to wear and pimp my ride.

perhaps we should pitch this.
the struggle between a good IS department and a bad one for total control of the companies networks. Im sure it will make thrillign viewing. each week the worst person gets killed in a manner described in the bofh archives.
