To not expect to see a naked man playing football in the park...

[Chirpygirl]

I had a friend staying over the weekend and we decided to take DD to the park at about 10 on Sunday morning. We walked up the road toward the entrance as as we got closer I could see teh whole park was empty apart from a 'large' man playing football in what appeared to be a skintight beige trousers and top.
My friend and I both stopped as he bent over and realised that he was actually stark bollock naked. He spotted us and put on some skimpy pants, and then carried on kicking a ball against the kids playground fence.

I called the police as I didn't fancy approaching him and they duly turned up and escorted him home. Apparently he thought it was most unfair as he didn't see what he had done wrong because he put his pants on when he saw us!

I don't think my friend will be back anytime soon.....

Clowns are definitely up there with men-without-pants in the weirdo stakes.

Slight preference for taking kids to see clowns rather than men-without-pants

lol thats the funniest thing i've read all day nearly fell off my chair i laughed so much....

...unfortunatly for you this did happen its just a shame it wasn't a younger, fitter man though as this might have eased the embarassment some what

Re: sweaty bottoms and seats. Someone (David Foster Wallace?) wrote up a visit to a nudist colony. Their obsession with towels was Adamsesque, tbh. They always had to have a towel to sit on.

It almost sounds like more work than clothes, tbh.

Well, quite, Frances.

It puts me in mind of a South American boyf of a friend back home, who, when annoyed with you, would put his finger up your nose.

Ewwww to sweaty arses on chairs I may one day sit on.

what's worse, clowns or mimes?

Clowns. They follow you home and creep up on you in the night and club you to death with their big, big shoes and stuff their horrid red noses in your mouth to stifle the screams.......

[terrified emoticon]

Clowns are more sinister.

Mime artsist are just absolute eejits, aren't they?

i suppose mimes are stuck in invisible glass boxes so they can't do that. but, their hands....

Imagine a mime artists scaling your (imaginary) wall while you lie innocently sleeping, unaware of the evil lurking outside your (imaginary) window shivers

Pretty freaky stuff

"I think it's one of those situations where one persons right to self-expression rather conflicts with another persons right not to be confronted with nudity. Even in countries where nudity is fine and dandy thankyouverymuch, there are places set aside, and if nudity offends you, you don't have to go there."

Big issues here though. What about if I'm the only woman about without a headscarf on will I cause a breach of the peace because my skirt is too short and I'm with 100% Muslims who cover up locally say? Or if we get to a point where people don't mind nudity is it then allowed? (See other mumsnet threads on whether toddlers can be nude on warm beaches or little girls in just trunks at the local baths.

Clowns are really really horrible make me shudder to think of them, they remind me of the stphen king thing with the clown in - horrible....

Xenia can you leave this thread please?

The ladies are trying to talk about clowns and naked men.

Big issue indeed: Clowns versus mime artists.

Xenia, how could you overlook this? Tsssk.

"clowns dont normally get their cocks out, but they are freaky all the same"

fiofio!! pmsl!!

Aye, but clowns who did get their cocks out? And beat you to death with their big shoes and made you float with them....

runs, screaming, from the thread

its the bow ties that get me

eeuuuuuugggghhhhhhh.

returns to be sensible with Xenia

I think you respect the convention of the society around you. When I visted the dome of the rock in Jerusalem, I covered my head. When I visited Egypt, I wore things that covered my legs and arms.

If I'm down Tesco, I tend to wear clothes. If I was wandering on a nudist beach, t'would be churlish to complain if I saw a todger.

No, no, no its their weird painted on lips that are about 5 inches away from the actual mouth that are truly frightening!
And their penchant for carrying flowers that squirt water in your eye (ho ho sodding ho you freak!).

suebaroo - good point, well made.
