Paul Roe of British Ink Tattoos is the winner of this week’s prestigious and highly coveted, ‘You Sir Have Illustrated Irony Brilliantly By Wearing Attire That’s Usually Associated With Assimilation But By Donning It For An Occasion Where 75% Of The Men Are In Black T-Shirts You Flipped The Script And Made An Individualistic Statement Instead’ award. It doesn’t hurt that you have an accent as well.
