Weasel - good lord no. I'm more likely to be a least favourite than anything else! I've given young Tarquin plenty of grief over recent months.

I'll take that as a yes - although I have changed my views on who it would have been with.

Well thats true, but our young tarquin has propagated an internet persona of a kind of thick skinned public school boy, sort or harry enfield nice but dim character.
Personally I don't believe much of it but its a well developed persona and he has pretty much stuck to it.

No.

Today I am wearing a pink Tyrwhitt shirt and very dark blue wool trousers made by my tailor here. Dark brown leather shoes. Casual Friday.

You do have a point - do we inadvertently develop these online personalities and allow it to evolve into something quite different from our real life self? Like how television programme characters become caricatures of their original selves by the end of the series?

I do say things on here that I'd never say publicly....well...to most people.

what do you wear on a normal day?

Casual pseudo-Friday here too. I still wear the normal suit, I don't buy into that bullshit.
