Buga,  I checked with a male colleague to settle this.  As a self confessed music fan and fashion victim, he confirmed it was a cardigan, because it was knitted.  He said he rather liked it and wouldn't mind one himself - and in a tasteful shade of navy.

 I rest my case!

Lots of things are knitted but that doesn't mean that they're all cardigans!   I don't believe I know any fashion-savvy blokes but I do know how to Google sweetie and, well......

..... whereas, a hooded cardigan......

.....the difference is, I'll admit, a subtle one (unlike the "Taitoto Wool Hooded Cardigan" which looks about as subtle as road-kill in a safari park) but I think I've pretty much proved my point!  So, it looks as though BOTH you and your fashionista friend are quite, quite wrong ...... and you know what they say about two wrongs, sweetie.....

Thankfully Rosemary doesn't mind putting up with the occasional ribbing..... or a few rows of garter! 

If you haven't seen it already, check the video out on the Electric Proms page.....

...... marvel at Mr. Gormley's amazing artwork in full, glorious, err, monochrome and feast your ears on some juicy extracts from the forthcoming album (3 DAYS TO GO!!!!) ....or, at least, you can try to....unfortunately, there's some really irritating bloke rambling on all the way through it. What a nerve!!!

Hmmm maybe a hoodie.  Perhaps like Natty, he wants us to give a hoodie a hug!  One of the other guys in the office described Nitin's top as a hybrid. Somehow I can't imagine anyone saying "It's a bit cold tonight, I think I will put on my hybrid."   Anyway I will leave the knitting to you Buga, before I become unravelled.

I enjoyed the link and sent it to a friend. I seem to be dogged by technical failure though.  Not only is my email down, but Facebook is temporarily down so I can't embed the video in my page.

Nitin being pigeon-holed as a "Hoodie"?  That's a first!!!  Anyway, you'll need a step ladder to hug that Hoodie, and not just to get onto the stage.... haven't you noticed how tall he is?

Buga,

I need a stepladder to reach most things - top shelves of cupboards, tops of pictures etc.

Hi ho, hi ho ........ well maybe not a dwarf, but still short at 5' 2".

5' 2" ?  You'll need more than a step ladder.... unless you apply some 'lateral' thinking...... perhaps you could sneak up on him and catch him from behind (does that need editing?).... you know, nothing violent, just a quick tap behind the knees with the ladder, sufficient enough to cause his legs to buckle, and then you could give him a jovial squeeze without getting a crick in your neck.  On the other hand, there's the problem of his martial arts training... he might just 'sense' your presence as you approach, consider it to be a threat and.... unleash those deadly legs!!!!  And if you think that I'm going to spend next Friday night hanging around A & E while they're prising his shoe out of your ribcage, you can think again!  Maybe finding a shorter hoodie to hug might be a better solution...a very, very short hoodie perhaps.....

Gosh Buga, you will frighten the man to death ...... except there is very little chance of this happening in a huge gig.  Anyway he would hear me coming.  This week a friend said that I would never make a burglar as you could hear me coming from the sound of my bangles rattling.  I think he must have been reading "Burglar Bill" too often to the children at school.

On a more serious note, I will frightened of hugging anyone soon.  Our work code on conduct says we are not to touch students - which might be fair enough with under 18's, or even some of the older "street boys".  Today I was listening to a lady who had some very sad news, but was worried about hugging or touching her on the arm, which I felt she needed.  She is learning English in the college I go into, so technically could be one of my clients.  In fact I shouldn't even be talking to her outside work!

Well, I am bit of a hugger when the mood takes me but I think I'd draw the line at going anywhere near someone who appears to have worn the same t-shirt for the past decade!!!   If you change your mind Rosemary, I'll hold your bangles for you.
