In this age of radge aggro and ASBOs worn for sport, no fashion statement has been so wildly up for interpretation since Janet Jackson's jumper malfunctioned. It's just a jumper with a hat sewn on but has come to symbolise the one thing that could beat police CCTV. Skaters and Gap shoppers should not be tarred with the same brush as neds and forced to go bare headed in the cold.
It was in December 2001 that Apple first unleashed a world of isolation. Although we have long been used to the idea that we no longer live in communities, the iPod took things that one step further, concealing every user's contempt for sharing the pavement with their fellow man. Next time you see those milky white wires streaming from someone's ears, look at the hatred in the face.
FIVE SPECTACULAR CAREER SHIFTS
Following the news that Jay-Z is interested in becoming a football mogul and wants to invest in Arsenal. we ponder some other surprising career shifts.
Gordon Ramsay He went from kicking balls on the football field to kicking balls in Hell '3 Kitchen. Ramsay left Rangers as a youth to pursue chefing and ended up the Godzilla of TV pan handlers. and his kitchen is littered with more expletives than an Old Firm match.
Danny Rampllng The portly superstar disc spinner was there for the dawn of acid house so all the more reason to throw in his headphones for the lucrative. if unstable. world of fine dining as a restaurateur. Out of the frying pan . . .
Sebastian Coe Known best as the wee guy in front of Steve Ovett at the 1500 metres at the 1980 Olympics. From national treasure to outspoken opposition MP. this man likes a challenge.

Keller Sutherland Set hearts a-racing as the nasty vampire dude in The Lost Boys but dropped out of acting to tackle broncos. In 1998 he was first in the US team's roping championships. Not sure if that means he lassooed his teammates or what but he Obwously makes a better actor than cowboy as he ended up coming full circle with his role in 24.
Kim Wilde From pop star to gardening expert. Kim IS second only to the Don himself (Monty. that is) as a sage dishing out green-fingered words of wisdom. Perhaps more impressive thOLigh is how she managed to find something to do when fame waned. therefore not having to Suffer the indignity most of her contemporaries have on the nostalgia tour circuit.
