    I'm 41 years old but I just had to check YouTube to get a how-to tie a Half Windsor knot in a tie.

    Aside from two occasions, this is perhaps the third time I've worn a tie in the last 30 years

    .

    (It's for some themed event this evening - I'm barely themed and I already feel like a total twat — if I'm lucky when I'm going through town I'll just look like a mismatched nerd or, at best, a hipster. Nobody cares, of course.

    • I actually *almost* had it on first attempt before resorting to internet — muscle memory from being a <10 year old kid wearing a tie at schoolNairn
    • Sub-confession — when I was 8, I had an elasticated tie.Nairn
    • Im with ya --
      Had a clip on tie as a kid. And still have to check youtube for a refresher when I throw on a tie now. ohwelp.
