Inaugral Ties Planet Blog 'Tie of the Day'

Today's 'Tie of the Day' is a fine piece of neckwear from Simon Carter. It is priced at £40.00 and looks splendid.

Tiegate

Last night's London Evening Standard featured a story on Bell Pottinger Chairman Peter Bingle (pictured), who has been banned from London club Soho House for wearing a tie. The ban has been described as "Stalinist" by Mr Bingle, who has also labelled the whole affair as "Tiegate". Mr Bingle has our full support - we can't think of a situation where wearing a tie would be inappropriate.

Olympic Countdown On

It is exactly a year until the Olympic Games start in London. Those counting down the hours and minutes to this great event could certainly use an appropriate timepiece and at £50 this Simon Carter Watch won't set any world records for price!

Knotty Bear reliably informs us that the cheapest price he has seen the same watch at elsewhere is £65. He better be right or he will be for the high jump!

Duel on the Downs

Racegoers at Goodwood will be treated today with a contest between Frankel and Canford Cliffs. In The Times today Frankel's trainer Henry Cecil is described as 'a self-confessed dandy who wears pastel ties and socks' which is of undoubted interest to us.

The two horses are described as the 'finest milers in the world' and they are an impressive pair. The same can be said of these Horse Racing Novelty Cufflinks!

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Scrapped

After ten long years Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps has been scrapped. From some of the remarks made following the announcement it is difficult to see how the show lasted so long and fans are certainly keeping themselves well hidden!

Despite the demise of the TV 'comedy' show, both lager and crisps will remain popular for some time to come, which brings us onto these very fetching novelty cufflinks. Wearing these is sure to bring about an interesting talking point down the pub!

Ozzy Strikes Again!

Nothing that Ozzy Osbourne does should surprise us. But he has outdone himself this time by buying wife Sharon a dog for£6,500. If he is looking to accessorise then we have just the job - Simon Carter Crystal Scottie Dog Cufflinks.

Glorious Days Ahead

We would take any opportunity to show you this lovely Silver Horse Racing Silk Tie. Can you think of a better place to wear such a garment than Glorious Goodwood? The name says it all! Over the next few days the social elite will be enjoying themselves at the famous racecourse and whether you are there in person or simply watching on TV we wish you the best of luck in picking some winners!
