If you're wearing 16 layers because you don't want to pony up for luggage... Uber council.

I'm not really into modern F1 so an academic question. I do have a retro Le Mans shirt but that's a cotton fashion item as opposed to a polyester football shirt.

Whenever I see those modern massively logo'd motorsport team shirts I can't think of anyone other that tubby short arse TV baker and mid-life crisis fan, Paul Hollywood.

He loves them because they shout 'HEY PEASANT, I'VE MADE IT AND GOT A DB9!' whilst simultaneously leaving his wife for a younger model and being all-round cringeworthy.

He's not Council, but he is a bit of a smug tool.

Nothing says mid life crisis/trying too hard than those trainers hes wearing ! Not sure whats worse, the trainers or the t shirt.

Really, whats wrong with them, they just look like walking shoes, now if he had a big pair of squeaky clean Nikes then I may think differently.

Nope. Motorsport clothing is even worse than football, IMO. A football shirt (if an older shirt) can be either somewhat fashionable or somewhat ironic

Motorsport is always just naff.

Especially if it's motorbikes.

Totally agree. Motorsport branded clothing unless you are a team member is far worse than a football shirt. Not council but beyond cringe.

Applies to any tribal uniform. They're all for brainless sheeple.

Hand luggage only = Council

Definitely not council.

Last year I went to on a three day conference to Lisbon, Portugal. Attire was business casual so shirts, trousers and shoes easily fitted into carry on luggage. Nothing about that work trip could be deemed council.

Whilst I agree with the general bashing.

Those are boring, 'dad' walking shoes

[steveo3002]

council people turn up with all their belongings in huge cases , mrs council has to take 18 pairs of shoes and all the dross for 3 nights in benidorm unaware of the airline baggage rules , then start having a council shout up at the desk or departure gate

hand luggage only = hassle free travel

[steveo3002]

heres a council one...being out and about in them stupid furry slippers , nothing says ive got a fighting dog and my man sells weed more than those

[untakenname]

I picked up a cat yesterday evening (found on Facebook marketplace) from Woking and the guy asked if I worked for McLaren as I had a McLaren jacket on, I sheepishly said no and felt a bit of a tit.


I'm my defence I got it as a present and the logo is miniscule in comparison to other Motorsport branded clothing.

I think people would be hard pressed to find this McLaren range council

Agree on the Nikes. Not a fan on the walking shoes personally as someone said 'dad' shoes.

Sliders are ultra council. Sandals and socks everyone took the piss out of and now its a fashion thing.

Oh yeahh definitely; walking shoes should only be worn when out walking but they most certainly aren't "mid life crisis"

Walking shoes are either, depending on the situation;
- whilst on a mountain, i am a walker and therefore an active man who needs comfortable shoes to cover many miles
- anywhere else, i am an absolute melt and my wife picked these shoes for me

Sliders & socks with a track suit seems to be the new attire d'weekend = uber council

I bought a pair of sliders for a day trip to Ibiza this summer, my feet were cut to shreds so i can see the need for socks, but I'd rather not.

And I work in gaming.

Where's my tattooed 40 year old slapper with big hoopy earrings? I've earned it.

La Linea. Or if you are flying into Malaga... Torremolinos.

Now I've taken the piss, would it be ok if I PM re: some matters of a Gibraltarian nature please?

Trying to get someone to bring you back some cheap duty free booze. Council.

You're right about that part.

Wrong about hand luggage. The Councilista does not check in their massive case of unneeded tat, they drag it on the plane, take up the entire overhead bin and some of the next one and whine bitterly to the Daily Mail with level 10 compo-faces when the budget airline forces them to check it in.

That'll be after they've tried to put half of it on to avoid having to pay to check it in.

People who regularly check in luggage are smart enough to know that it's faster than getting their stuff washed every 3-4 days and manage their time well enough that it isn't any hassle to check and collect it.

If I'm going away for more than a few days I'll check a bag because it saves me time on washing and I don't like smelling like an overflowing bin... Which is a very council smell.
