Janet: the whole sizing is just ludicrous. Do men have to deal with this crap, too? Also you’ve now convinced me never ever to get pregnant.

Roger: oh, hush, I think his fivefer in the second odi was quite effective.

That Mr Akhtar really wasn’t very effective, was he? Rule Brittania! Brittania rules the waves! Britons never never will be slaves!

Wow, sounds like a great store. I am jealous.

You know where this sizing issue gets to be most ludicrous? Maternity clothes. There are stores where you can buy “fashionable” (e.g. non-ugly) maternity clothes, but they are all sized for tiny women who haven’t gained weight anywhere but their bellies.

bigger than size six: there should be a Helix in every town in the world!

Cheryl: Well, I guess we should be glad that there are still differences from country to country. And it’s not just a world of Gap stores!

You know who: you know, I really don’t know who. But the shop is 595 Bourke St. And, um, thanks, I guess, for saying that I’m not monster fat. Much obliged.

Roger: Um, isn’t it the British lions? You know that even if England does win the one day series it really doesn’t mean anything. Your lot still totally lost the test series. How about that Shoaib Akhtar, eh?

More on the cricket, madam, and less of this clothes stuff. My boys are going to revenge themselves on the Pakistani lions today, afterall.

What number Bourke? Whereabouts exactly? Best tell me what you got so we don’t double up!

It’s true La Larbalestier’s not monster fat.

funny that. when I lived in Australia it was hard to find clothes big enough for me. now i live in the US i have trouble getting clothes small enough for me. i haven’t changed.

of course you can get smaller sizes in the us, but they tend to be aimed either at teenagers or very rich people. cheaper stores tend to assume that their customers will be fat. which is why i do most of my clothes shopping when I’m back in the uk.

in this country if yore bigger than a size 6 and your clavicle don’t stick out then yore fat. No 2 ways about it. I wish there were a store like that in my town.
