Of course, I can understand the rebellious appeal and I'm sure you looked great in yours! Nice wedding outfit! The only time I've ever worn such a thing - well, quite similar anyway - was when I borrowed a mate's leather jacket one night when we went out for a drink (it must have been colder than I thought). Anyway, I felt very uncomfortable in it (being a long-time vegetarian may not have helped) and I must say I ended up more pissed than I had been for many, many years; could barely stand up on leaving the pub. I've concluded that leather jackets have a weird effect on me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-12205462537221104252014-11-26T20:01:38.189+00:002014-11-26T20:01:38.189+00:00Haha!

Depressing really. How do kids rebel nowadays? Quietly, judging by by mate's teenage daughter. He was telling me recently that he was so outraged by the sedate volume at which she was listening to an album in her bedroom, that he burst in and told her off for not playing it loudly enough! 'Turn that bloody racket UP!'<br />I only ever owned one biker jacket, £35 from a charity shop. It was too short, but for a couple of years I convinced myself that it fitted ok. One day I caught sight of myself reflected in a shop window. It looked ridiculous - as if I'd stolen the jacket from a child. I re-donated it soon after.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
