      Yes, Togas have been out of style far too long :) Toga! Toga! Toga!

      And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
      "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

      And I smiled and was happy
      And it came worse.

        I am (or was when the trousers fitted me) 19 and a half stone. I'm not sure lycra is that stretchy, and it is certainly not what anyone, male or female, wants to see me in.

          and my shirt keeps coming untucked. Bearing in mind I am skint should I; a) eat more to try to put the weight back on that I have lost b) attempt to puncture another hole in my belt c) buy a smaller belt d) buy smaller trousers e) get some braces (can you still buy these or do you have to rob an old person?) f) just give up on the trousers

          I suspect that you would find that braces obtained in that manner would be too short for your purposes, even allowing for the inbuilt adjustment, since old people habitually wear trousers with the waist-band at nipple level.

                      I did the Atkins a number of years ago. Bacon and gin were both good to go on that, so I cannot see how this is going to help me fill out my trousers again. I tended not to eat that much bacon whilst actually on the diet, pork chops on the other hand, usually with a poached egg atop. What a wonderful breakfast.

                                    b) is clearly the sensible man's answer. c) may also be a good bet depending on the availability of quality belt vendors in your parts (we have a market stall that sells some quite cheap). You should do d) if the trousers are much too big and shuck up around the belt, but you still need b) or c) if your weight is still changing.

                                      and my shirt keeps coming untucked. Bearing in mind I am skint should I; a) eat more to try to put the weight back on that I have lost b) attempt to puncture another hole in my belt c) buy a smaller belt d) buy smaller trousers e) get some braces (can you still buy these or do you have to rob an old person?) f) just give up on the trousers

                                      Congratulations on losing weight! Definitely go with the smaller belt and trousers. I assume this is intentional, given your stated weight of 19½ stone?

                                        You'll actually become "cool" for wearing your trouser half-way down your butt... :laugh:

                                          We need a translation for us Americans... or clarification... are these small stones (pebbles?) or large stones? :laugh:
