to wonder why my posts are nearly always ignored on MN?

[brizzledrizzle]

Am I as invisible here as in real life?

I have just remembered another nightmare inducing outfit, a red crimpelene pinafore with a white nylon blouse, with frills all down the front, like a faux Scottish traditional shirt 😳

teachers with tweed blazers with the brown leather patches on the elbows, such style! Usually geography teachers in my experience.

Jesus wept Melen!

How do you expect people to sleep at night with that image in their minds . . . ?

Leather elbow patches were the sign of a Maths teacher in our school. They also had chalk all over their hair and often up their noses, and were renowned for cleaning their glasses on their ties (they were almost invariably male, due to the female "brane" being full of kittens and David Cassidy posters and not able to cope with Hard Sums. They had a minimum of 12 pens in their top pockets.

Art teachers (male) had velvet jackets and hand-knitted ties and very inky fingers; art teachers (female) wore caftans and tie-dyed peasant blouses and sandals made of vegans.

English teachers had silk hankies in their top pockets and always stared dreamily into space.

PE teachers wore track suits, had faces like slapped arses and swore under their breath a lot,

Science teachers wore white coats with formulae written on the sleeves in biro and glasses with sellotape holding one of the arms on. They were always very distracted looking and worrying about where to acid* kept disappearing to.

Geography teachers were bastards . . . .

*NOT THE DRUG

I thought the respo threads were invented for threadkillers? I don't think they are allowed to die.

Brentford Nylons sheets - £10 on Ebay!!

Oh God!

The Horror!

Brizzle, loving the crimpelene uniform idea maybe we could have a nice quilted housecoat for high days & holidays.
Jaysus, Brentford nylon sheets still for sale that is a living nightmare.q

You need to pay a copyright fee for using Kirta's my new word HonkyWonk

Whoa now. Let's talk about this! Dishonestly appropriating my new word, with the intention to permanently deprive me of it? That my friend is theft!

Just had to google 'seersucker'. FYI - Burberry are selling a seersucker jacket for £695

Haha @Schaden, who could forget the stirrup slacks with their own knees?

Christ, melen, that was some wardrobe you had. You should probably stay away from regressive therapy.

a nice quilted housecoat for high days & holidays.
Yes!

A nylon one - shiny pink with green tea roses on it . . .

You should probably stay away from regressive therapy.

Take note of these wise words melen. This prohibition is for your own good.

Dishonestly appropriating my new word, with the intention to permanently deprive me of it?

All that nylon, open fires and smoking an everyday occurrence. We lived in dangerous times, my friends...

I feel the same most of the time, although people have actually acknowledged me this last week, mainly to have a go though.

We won't ignore you Dusk as long as you are happy to wear our thread uniform of crimplene top and trews!
Step this way! You do own a flowery housecoat, I presume and are familiar with Brentford Nylon for your sheets and pillowcases.
Good, good! You'll fit right in!

You forgot to mention the obligatory polyester knickers HonyWonk - and the anti-chafe cream, obviously, for when one's"parts" develop a "chich" ™® and become "chichy" ™®.

schaden I'll see you in court! Clutching this thread in my sweaty chitchy paws!

Oh of course! How remiss of me Schauden.
May I enquire how much you charge for use of a chitch or chitchy.
I see you have them patented now! does kirta know about this
I think Duskqueen has run for the hills

Ah! X post.

Hello Duskqueen
Hmm I think you maybe right, no regressive therapy for me I would fear for the therapist tbh.

Our operating theatre store room at my hospital had a shelf labelled “repellent sheets” (as in water repellent). It always made me think of Brentford Nylons!

Does anyone remember the slippers, with mule heel & furry bit across the front topped off with diamanté clip, my dm always wore them they would look rather fetching with our nylon housecoats.
