It is the outcome of fluff wearing off the socks and travelling up the legs until it lodges in the navel.<br /><br />The known cure is to not wear socks, however, not all gamers will stand for this...<br /><br />RegardsArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029799270661710049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-21142608403640361052013-12-14T13:24:43.788+00:002013-12-14T13:24:43.788+00:00Tim Gow,
