When I was young and pretty I had a black faux leather coat. Whenever I wore it, middle aged men used to strike up conversations with me, or sit next to me on buses. I eventually abandoned it on the train.

Who did you survey??? :lol:

"Middle aged men"??? :confused:

:lol::lol::lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

Not really, I have just realised is the colours of that Police "DO NOT CROSS" tape. So its a kind of warning not to mess with us Cold Alers!!:lol:

Hmmm, it could work if the stripes were bigger.;) LOL! You really put a lot of thought into this!:lol:

Ah yes, but the result makes it all worth while. ;)

[QUOTE=prendrelemick;719129]Ties are like a badge, old school tie and all that. Also they are the only way the business suited busines man can express any individuality.

How about this for our little club:


I think perhaps it would be out of fashion, as picture ties are not often seen these days. When I was about sixteen there was a man who lived near me who had a midnight blue tie with a scantily clad blonde sitting in a champagne glass on it. I wanted one like it but it would have looked out of place with my school uniform.

While we are on the subject of inappropriate clothing, has any of the members ever worn day glow socks or brothel creepers ?

That Tie makes me think of Time Gentlemen Please....( think thats what it was called... well at least i think thats what i'm thinking of...)

This is a pointless intrusion into the Bloke's thread to prevent what may have been an interesting discussion on day glow socks and brothel creepers. It is obvious that Scheherazade's interdiction against members of the women's coffee club invading the bloke's thread is not having the desired effect.Therefore, could not Scheherezade and the Atheist ensure that intrusion by members of the opposite sex into the opposing threads is appropriatly dealt with.

PS: I think we can allow the innocuous comments of the girl behind the bar to remain acceptable, her name escapes me at the moment, because her youth allows her observations to be regarded with a certain levity.

Ha! I remember the '70s revival of brothel creepers, but I was a platform shoes bloke.

Hear, hear!

I'll have Parker sort it out right away.

Being a men's thread, this might be appropriate - I had a vasectomy last week, and I found it something that hardly ever gets talked about, so I've written a report on the process that some may find interesting.

The ties raised a few eyebrows and some ribald comment which he just laughed off. One of his favourites was a tie with a teddy bear pattern and for a joke I told him that the Teddy Bear was a secret symbol used by homosexuals to signal their sexuality to each other.
He never wore that tie again.

I'm a bit late on this, but yeah, that's awesome :lol:

The bear-homosexual relation actually reminds me of something John Waters said in his lecture. Hilarious and kind of wrong all at the same time. It's called "This Filthy World" I recommend it if you've never seen it. Basically, he points out that there is a sub culture in the gay community called "Bears" and telling your parents youre a bear is coming out of the second closet. And then elaborates a bit about the Bears...

And what about those of us who far prefer a cold beer to coffee? Shall I don my mustache and cap again?

In furtherance to the debate, here are a couple of personal observations

1. After the OP, to cough is to know pain! :bawling:
2. Conjugal relations with the wife greatly increased in frequency and quality.
3. You can expect some sniggering from your mates, who often confuse the the procedure with that of castration.

I took my father to get his done. Coincidentally I also drove my step brother (step father's son) to get his done three days before that.

Needless to say the car rides home were a bit awkward. Though the image of my step brother sitting on the couch in his shorts with a stiff drink in his hand and a bag of frozen peas between his legs was priceless.

Haha! Damn right - I've been practising the falsetto voice to help them out.

Also as another moderator, I come here to make sure you lot arent discussing things that could end up offending or being against the forum rules... as i do everywhere else. :)

Just a wee note - you're being overly defensive, it seems to me.

First off, a moderator can moderate without posting, and it's not as though we need guidance on what's acceptable and what's not. I'm very confident that we're all big boys and understand that this is a big boys' thread in an environment where small eyes occasionally look and a standard of decorum is required. In fact, content has already been removed without request from moderation.

Brian wasn't being particularly mean to you, but we do have a bloody good thread going on here and while your input is as appreciated as anyone else's, I think playing the moderator card is well overdone.

Just curious - as I've never even looked - how many male posters are there in the coffee thread?

Purely contraceptive.

Hey, while it's somewhat painful, and you have to sit pretty quietly for a few days, it's a lot better than the alternatives!

:D
