5/10. Score would have been higher if you said he had the snip last week

FeijoaVodkaPlease · 03/02/2012 22:00

A grown man actually bought that?!

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 22:00

no he never wears my shoes or clothes, or goes out alot without me, he is 100% not gay, but trust me i know he's going to look gay carrying that around, and at work as well......

he works in local goverment, senior management, he said it will add a bit of winter cheer to his day.
and then he mumbled something about gravitas but then went quite as i started shouting at him

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 03/02/2012 22:01

i do not believe you... no married man would buy that. not a chance...

echt · 03/02/2012 22:01

Oh dear.

How terribly, terribly shite.

member · 03/02/2012 22:01

Which colour? Shock

AgentZigzag · 03/02/2012 22:02

If he ordered it over the net, how long did he spend looking for it?

And what were the crapbags he decided against like?

ImpatientOne · 03/02/2012 22:02

lol member I was thinking the same although not sure that will redeem him!

nocake · 03/02/2012 22:03

Are you winding us up? Any man who buys that is gay or....... I was going to come up with an alternative but there isn't one. He is gay and he is going to get laughed at for weeks.

troisgarcons · 03/02/2012 22:03

i do not believe you... no married man would buy that. not a chance...

Oh he would - as a prezzie for his gay secret lover Grin

Snakeonaplane · 03/02/2012 22:04

Hilarious that he works in local gov I was thinking perhaps Elle mag or something and he thought we were all plebs dahling.

GreenEyesAndHam · 03/02/2012 22:04

OH NO HE DI' ENT

He really didn't.

marshmallowpies · 03/02/2012 22:04

OH. I thought it might be some kind of acceptable man bag, then I clicked on the picture. Shock

It really is horrible.

ivykaty44 · 03/02/2012 22:04

is this the friday night bum sex thread?

echt · 03/02/2012 22:04

I'm waiting for John Barrowman to post in defence of his good taste. Somebody tweet him. I bet he tweets.

olgaga · 03/02/2012 22:04

Words fail me.

member · 03/02/2012 22:04

I was trying to find a silver lining/something to redeem him a bit if he hadn't gone for the most,most hideous Grin

Rhinestone · 03/02/2012 22:04

Oi maybenow there's nothing wrong with rhinestones you know! Wink

That is truly hideous and a LOT gay! This has to be a wind up surely??!!!

If not, what on earth does he do?

PatriciaHolm · 03/02/2012 22:05

That's - unbelieveable. Really.

NorthernGobshite · 03/02/2012 22:05

Surely he's gay!?

Snakeonaplane · 03/02/2012 22:05

I have asked DH he says this can't be real, no straight man would carry that.

marriedinwhite · 03/02/2012 22:05

Oh my word.

My DH bought himself a satchel thing that was about £200 and said something like "do you think that's over the top". He also has a wheelie thing that was about £100.00. Last night he said he'd had a little 15k windfall he wasn't expecting and I did I think it was ott if he got a really nice Jaeger suit and a new overcoat - he last bought a new coat in 1994 - guess what I said?

Sometimes he takes an extra strong Saino's or Waitrose bag Blush.

DH earns about £500k. DH doesn't really give a flying - and he drives a G Wiz.

NormanTebbit · 03/02/2012 22:06

Are you sure he didn't buy it for you? Is he winding you up?

Itsallgonetitsup · 03/02/2012 22:06

OMFG - its hideous!!!

Regardless of its price its vile.
