Accidentally had a genius idea

[RegalRef]

For those of you who a little lower threshold for cold (like me), I accidentally found a genius idea.

If it's cold I would rather wear a compression top under my shirt than a long sleeved top.

Many times I've wanted to pull the top partly over my hands too to keep my hands warm, but of course that would cover my watches and not be practical.

Today I happened to be wearing one of my spare tops I used to play in, which had some holes cut in at the end of the sleeves to put my thumbs through Yaya Toure style.

Imagine my delight when I realised said holes were just the right size to pull around the face of my watches, keep the sleeves tight and give additional warmth to my hands, whilst still looking tidy.

Genius.

Is that not what the holes are for - see watches etc?

 

[RegalRef]

No, thumb holes.

And even then they have to be cut in, don't come as standard.

 

[HRW]

Bugger. Wondered what they were for.

Not having any thumbs it made no sense.

 

[RegalRef]

You're not a dog or cat are you @HRW ?

 

[HRW]

No, as of this morning It ws makde clear that i was neither cat, nor dog, nor human, but in fact a cun7.

Who'd have known!?!

Nice. Was this something you were aware of, or was it news to you?

I hope you did the decent thing and allowed the offender to go and think a little longer about it in the changing rooms?

 

[HRW]

Yeah - he followed the guy that had got his 2nd YC so they could go and compare notes.

This thread made me laugh out loud and I don't mean the genius idea. I mean the deduction of @HRW genus. By the way @RegalRef Nike already produce certain items with thumb holes - FA tutor kit for one.

 

[RegalRef]

Well I'll be.

I searched long and hard at the time for ones that had a hole, thinking that if I cut a whole they would just fray away (they don't by the way, cut away).

If it's that cold, I just put my watch over the top of the compression top.....

When it is freezing (really, really cold) I have some ref gloves....

There I have said it!

Does it not look a bit like your care worker has dressed you?

I bet you wear them with a short sleeved shirt too

 

[SM]

Meh - no one's said anything if they think that!
