Vested interest

On the day: 
His head is a sphere topped with a silver-grey lawn mown short - the gentle slope of his nose extends, coming to a blunt end above an  upper lip that overshadows a receding chin. 
Winter white arms dangle from sloping shoulders, on view courtesy of his long white vest. Three skulls hear no, see no, speak no evil, long since inked into the skin of his right forearm, and a thick, black strap couches the watch on his left wrist. 
He ambles up the aisle, there's no rush, flops lightly into his seat, takes a swig from his water bottle and settles himself for the few stops to the betting shop. Where he has previously put his shirt on a dead cert, and found it to be a dead loss, evidently. 
Probably all his shirts.
