Liberace is alive and well and married to a mnetter.

I once had a bf who would have thought that "document holder" was nice. He also had a thing for fur coats (Imagine my shock when I came home and found a great big pimp coat fur coat in my wardrobe). He was a hairdresser, and good looking and some how could carry it off. I dumped him when he started wearing Brut aftershave.

Most people who met him thought he was gay.

Its slightly hideous, without the rhinestones and paying no more than £50 I would say ok go with the quirky

Not only will he be a laughing stock, they will laugh even louder when they know how much it was

Tee2072 · 03/02/2012 22:16

Local government you say?

::wonders if the hidden stealth boast is that the OP is Sam and if David will be carrying that bag soon::

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 22:16

i mean, i've never even heard of a "document" bag before

OP posts:
snice · 03/02/2012 22:16

but surely the wierdest thing of all is that the OP has posted a real link to a real bag on a real website-so somewhere in the world real men must be buying this bag?

LynetteScavo · 03/02/2012 22:16

" is your dh chris Eubanks?"

I just snorted wine on my keyboard. Grin

marriedinwhite · 03/02/2012 22:18

ROFL at the bag and the fur coat together. Can hear my DH reverting to his Northern vernacular. It really wouldn't be pc to try to recreate it but ee by gum lass thy as a right un there. Grin

ElusiveCamel · 03/02/2012 22:18

Ahh, 10 minutes ago I was being annoyed at XH not switching a horrible film off and now I'm giggling every few seconds at this thread and annoying him intensely, I'm sure. It's just like when we were married.

Pandemoniaa · 03/02/2012 22:18

He's a senior manager in local government? And he plans to take that piece of hideous ponce-nonsense to work with him? All I can say is he must have considerably more money than sense!

MAYBELATERNOWIMBUSY · 03/02/2012 22:18

SO, GAY PEOPLE WOULD BUY THAT , ? U FING THINK SO ??? REALLY ? OH NO THEY FING WOULD NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snakeonaplane · 03/02/2012 22:18

snice I just thought the exact same thing.

LynetteScavo · 03/02/2012 22:19

My DH would have bought this

But he has no style.

Sometimes no style is a good thing.

echt · 03/02/2012 22:19

DH just said: "He wants shooting." But then he'd just been having a rant about stupidly priced iPad covers. See Guardian>Tech>gadgets.

I would say the key with the fur coat would be to <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=long+fur+coat+men+pimp&hl=en&biw=1146&bih=697&tbm=isch&tbnid=l4gggFgA2Bg2EM:&imgrefurl=www.halloweencostumes.net/hustla-pimp-suit.html&docid=CIfqHP3Kt7ap5M&imgurl=images.halloweencostumes.net/pimp-costume-zoom.jpg&w=1750&h=2500&ei=O10sT8rLMaah0QWN8umsCA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=402&vpy=136&dur=1512&hovh=268&hovw=188&tx=86&ty=158&sig=112379514407926695039&page=1&tbnh=181&tbnw=127&start=0&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">accessorize.

Or you'd risk looking like a right tit else.

GreenEyesAndHam · 03/02/2012 22:20

C'mon now folks, this is getting a bit sexist.

I mean no one bats an eyelid when a woman buys som'n snazzeh an' fine to carry round her 'documents' do they?

member · 03/02/2012 22:20

I don't suppose you have a link to any of his suits? Or shoes, what kind of shoes does he wear? I really need to complete my vision of hideousness

Pandemoniaa · 03/02/2012 22:20

Have you got some sort of caps lock malfunction MAYBETHATEXPLAINSWHYYOUKEEPSHOUTING?

GoingForGoalWeight · 03/02/2012 22:21

Suits you Sir!

YANBU ooh he is awful, but he loves you. Grin

Snakeonaplane · 03/02/2012 22:21

Maybe I can think of one or two gay people that would perhaps but that bag, but I can not think of a single straight person that would apart chris eubank of courseGrin

marriedinwhite · 03/02/2012 22:21

Echt - it has taken this for us to find common ground Grin

ImpatientOne · 03/02/2012 22:22

Lynette same here although my DH uses the ones he/I get included at courses and conferences,

He did pay for one once from a shop that begins with P and ends in rimark then when it fell to bits refused to bin it and put it in the loft... Hmm I have never been so grateful to be married to a skinflint
