Romesh RanganathanHOST

Every time there's a video of me, oh my God, can't he get trousers that fit? Bit of a wacky shirt from Romesh.

35:08
I now take that as a badge of honour.
Romesh RanganathanHOST

If I wear an outfit and a Radio 2 listener doesn't comment on that being a bit weird, I think someone will say I'm dressing too normally.
