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

I was going to say arrested development when I remembered the Miffy top I had before I had children. I thought I looked pretty cute in it (this was years ago before miffy was cool again)can I get away with it if it's kitschy??
anyway I wouldn't wear it now. norks too big. miffy would look like the elephant man, not a good look for the Dutch bunny

Talking of wierd things you keep in the freezer...

expatinscotland · 17/04/2007 10:52

I have another friend who went to Paris.

To go to Disneyland.

I made no comment.

But inside, I was snurking .

harpsichordcarrier · 17/04/2007 10:52

lol at JARM being young and fat and stupid

Oh and I've got a discworld t-shirt with the Nac Mac Feegle on it in a 'Trainspotting' pose which I will never ever give up. You can see the one I mean here .

shirleymac · 17/04/2007 10:54

I'm 34 btw & I know I'm sad.

I just don't care .

Relatives of mine- in their 60's and grandparents- go to Disneyland every couple of years and rent out a huge 4/5 bed place with swimming pool. Aah, tha's nice isnt it to take the grandchildren? No- they have never, ever taken any of the dgc, they always go alone. On all the rides, meeting Mickey etc just the 2 of them. Then fly home - always first class- and tell their children and grandchildren all about it . Does anyone else find this odd?

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 11:04

crazy - thats wierd

I think it looks wanky.

I am not going to disneyland ever - even with my children.

But then I have a tee-shirt with a Dr.Seuss thing on so maybe I am wanky too.

(hey wouldn't it be great if we had a [wank] icon instead of the one - I would use it loads.)

expatinscotland · 17/04/2007 11:11

If they were my relatives, crazy, I'd snurk at them.

Possibly openly, too.

expatinscotland · 17/04/2007 11:12

I also found out one of my colleagues is a Pooh person. She's in her 30s, and honestly, I just wouldn't have pegged her for a Pooh person.

expatinscotland · 17/04/2007 11:12

And that Pooh gear doesn't come cheap, either!

Hilllary · 17/04/2007 11:13

I think these people are a class of their own, no offense to them but its not my cup of tea.

TinyGang · 17/04/2007 11:15

Dr Seuss eh? Now, I wouldn't mind a 'cat in the hat' hat. That'd be a bit of a talking point at the school gate wouldn't it?!

NotQuiteCockney · 17/04/2007 11:15

No no, Dr Seuss is fine. Miffy is fine. Hello Kitty (Goodbye Taste! [tm Marina]) is fine.

Disney is horrid.

NotQuiteCockney · 17/04/2007 11:16

Oh, and I dislike pre-Disney Pooh, and hate Disney Pooh. All the branded products suck, for one thing, and oh, it's all so naff naff naffo.

I don't understand why British people, particularly, would want anything to do with the nafftastic bearfuck nightmare that is Disney Pooh. Particularly if you like the original stuff.

hitchcock · 17/04/2007 11:19

whats wrong with wearing disney may i ask ???? i have the hairband with 100 dal dogs on wearing a pooh bear jumper and wearing eeyore slippers i think i look good!!!

yeah right xxx only joking ladies dp would have locked away if i dressed like that

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 11:20

what should i do with these disney jammies????????????????

OP posts:
nailpolish · 17/04/2007 11:21

i could do with some new bras, and they ARE from La Senza

but i at La Senza bras

OP posts:
NotQuiteCockney · 17/04/2007 11:22

Maybe exchange them for non-Disney La Senza pjs?

PJs are such a minefield, my MIL is forever buying me them from M+S. But the ones she's bought have been a) cat-themed (I have cats! This doesn't mean I want pictures of cats on everything! If I want to look at a cat, I can just find one of mine!) or b) with polar bears on. Nice enough, but a bit cuter than I wanted ...

But would you want your FIL buying you 'sexy' PJs?

ScottishThistle · 17/04/2007 11:23

LaSenza actually have some nicer plainer stock in at the moment (walked by window yesterday), failing that take them back & pick a gift for someone else!

DimpledThighs · 17/04/2007 11:24

lol NQC " nafftastic bearfuck nightmare that is Disney Pooh"

Botbot · 17/04/2007 11:25

I caused outrage in my office when I mentioned that I'm not keen on Disney and am certainly not planning to take dd to Disneyland ever. People reacted as if I was depriving her of an essential part of her childhood. Eek!

mytwopenceworth · 17/04/2007 11:30

yeah, they're trying to be all young and cutsie. probably giggle a lot too, and have those backpacks that look like cute furry animals .

slap em i say, slap em.

suzycreamcheese · 17/04/2007 11:32
