Blogger Gordon Baines has informed the readers of his blog, The Salford Soapbox, that he has finally made the change from briefs to boxers. The entry for December 3, 2012, suggests the decision hasn't been an easy one. “There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to make the choice between style and comfort... and this is my time. I want to announce to family, friends and all the many people around the world who read my blog, that I’ve finally made the transition from ‘snug’ to ‘roomy’. I’ve binned the Calvin Klein briefs; it’s M & S boxer shorts for me. From now on I'm 'letting it all hang out'. LOL”
His wife, Katy, said “Gordon seems to think he’s Rupert fucking Murdoch, just because he started a blog. His ‘announcement’ would have had a wider readership if he’d just written it with his finger on the steamed-up bathroom mirror”...
