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

Good friend of mine once pulled a bloke in a bar and all was going well until it was time to leave and he put on a leather jacket with the Tazmanian devil character on the back
Thing is, she still went home with him and now can't believe that she actually shagged a bloke a) in a leather blouson and b)with a cartoon on it.

nice !!!!

nogoes · 17/04/2007 11:46

Sarah, I knew a bloke with a jacket like that he was a total tosser. Thought he was Gods gift but wore cartoon clothes bought for him by his mum and thought the height of sophistication was Planet Hollywood.

hitchcock · 17/04/2007 11:47

oh the shame!!!!

i don't think there is anything more wrong with this than say some middle class bird wearing a grey cardigan and thinking she's the dogs knackers for looking ordinary.

we all have different tastes.

I'm so with you Expat and NP.
And how hysterical to shag a bloke in a Tssmanian devil blouson.
I saw a bloke wearing an Abba! The Musical!!! t shirt yesterday.Accessorised with a jacket with lots of little badges on it and a trilby.Needless to say,he was shopping with his mother.

If it comes in the front door,it doesn't stop going until it leaves via the back one.

Isn't he the bloke who came to take your dh home to nurse him to health as yuo weren't capable (in his eyes?)
He's a widower isn't he?
Despite sartorial faux pas,fair play to him for having a go at buyingyou clothes!

MD ny next door neighbour wears t shirts with naked women on them

we had a culdesac get together at a different neighbours house and he turned up with one on

cheap see-thru cotton jobby with a cartoon of a naked woman legs apart

his wife got drunk and tried it on with ALL the men

i am sure they are dirty swingers

they got married at age 16 and i would LOVE to know if A) they are frustrated or B) thet swing

purely curiosity of course

Character merchandise is already pretty sad for children and should be used with great care. For adults it is just tragic...

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 11:58

yep MD thats him

I do not get it.

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 11:59

Good on 'em! Livens the joint up a bit.

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 11:59

oh jesus - honeymoon??????

OP posts:
doggiesayswoof · 17/04/2007 11:59

Why would you want to wear something that basically gives a massive corporation free advertising?

Maybe that's a whole nother thread though...

moondog · 17/04/2007 12:00

Is it worth to get married in Disneyland or honeymoon there d'you think???

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 12:00

i would most certainly have Pluto as my bridesmaid

doggiesayswoof · 17/04/2007 12:01

I know np, honeymoon!
They were meant to go to Cancun the 2nd week, but there was a hurricane so they stayed at disney.

They said afterwards they were glad they didn't get to go to Mexico as Disney was so fabulous!!! WTF?

TinyGang · 17/04/2007 12:03

FGS nailpolish don't ask them either question A or B! They might think you're offering.

nailpolish · 17/04/2007 12:04

My aunt (60 plus) mists over and drops her voice reverentially when she discusses her three trips to Disneyland.

Her bedroom is full of soft toys and her fridge is covered in those 'You've got a friend' and 'The world's bestest grandma' type magnets.

You get the picture....

colditz · 17/04/2007 12:12

I just Don't Get It.

I am 26. I am not 4. Why would I want to look 4?

Ex MIL gave me a WTP purse for Christmas one year. I was utterly bewildered. I live in Jeans and black v neck t shirts. Nothing about me or my house screams "Rampant Disney addict!" I like functional things, and Disney Pooh makes me want to VOM.
