honestly, why would a grown adult wear a jumper with Eeyore on it

That must have been a moment of madness, Saggers. I think I would rather wear a pooh bear one.

Someone once gave me some ginormous Mickey Mouse slippers after they'd visited Dinseyland. WHY?!

It looked like Mickey was trying to mate with your feet when you put them on. Bloody dangerous too; I fell over in them a couple of times. That, combined with the fact I looked a complete tit in them consigned them to the charity bag.

A friend of mine, in her 40s, recently told me that what really made her fall in love with her now husband was when she had a bad cold and he came over and 'read her some Winnie the Pooh'.

I was just like, 'Oh, that's so sweet.'

Mmmm, the mind boggles...If a friend of mine bought me pyjamas with a disney character on them I'd laugh!

TinyGang · 17/04/2007 10:21

Urrrgh expat that's toe curling.

I can't bear it men treat their wives like ickle girls. Shudder.

peachygirl · 17/04/2007 10:22

No, she was for real. I was shocked. She just didn't seem the Pooh type, you know.

I just told her, 'Oh, that's lovely. I'm so glad you found each other.'

Then, when I went to the ladie's room, I start giggling like a maniac and it was all I could do to regain composure.

TinyGang · 17/04/2007 10:35

Maybe he dresses up as Christopher Robin

suzywong · 17/04/2007 10:39

OH god I just knew this was going to be a Disney-Winnie-the-Pooh thing

It is very very odd
on many layers

I think one could just about get away with mickey mouse because he is so iconic and only when in the company of small children

dejags · 17/04/2007 10:42

Very strange indeed.

By all means get into the swing of things whilst in the actual park, but leave the cheeseball merchandise in your cupboard as a souvenier when you get home.

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 10:44

I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO DISNEYLAND

Grown women should never wear t-shirts with pictures on the front or for that matter t-shirts with writing on advertising the brand...So naff!

i live in essex and what makes me chuckle at the minute is the 14-17 year olds who wear fake tracksuits with sylvester or tweety pie on the back and leg wtf?? then they try and give attitude i cant help but snigger - soooooooooo cooooooooool!!!!

i think disney characters are ok for nightwear but over the age of 23 not for day wear. i used to have a fozzie and bagpuss rucksack and thought they were sooooo coool - in my 20's now dd has them to cuddle lol

shirleymac · 17/04/2007 10:49

Ummmm I'll just bin the skateboarder Goofy t-shirt shall I? And the Bagpuss top. And the Nightmare Before Christmas tote. And the giant hairy Chewbacca-head rucksack. Oh, and the Captain Caveman T.

I'm not making any of this up btw altho' in my defence the hairy head (!?!) was a gift from dh & dd1 & dd2 & was used once to please them then consigned to the top of the wardrobe.

I do still wear the Bagpuss top & would also wear the Captain Caveman top if it still fitted .

And the NBC bag is just cool - we've got Jack Skellington coasters on our dining table .

ScottishThistle · 17/04/2007 10:50

pinkfluffy29, surely you meant 13 not 23?!?

suzywong · 17/04/2007 10:50

we all know what a weirdo Walt was in his spare time
