To be amused at my elderly neighbours underwear?

[Mum2OliverJames]

It is all she has on the line,
some big white granny pants,
the size or a flag,
flapping in the wind!

Come laugh with me at big white pants

Your just jealous because her bottom is nice and warm.

Why is it funny that an old lady should wear big pants? Be pleased that she is washing them well and won't smell of wee.

It would be more amusing if they wer leopard skin thongs.

Can we calm down with the rudeness at older people please?

(that was to the wee comment)

Well, 'unreasonable' wouldn't exactly be my word of choice...

I opened this presuming that your elderly neighbour had hung some leopard print thongs on her line. An old lady wearing granny pants is funny why?

awww it will come to us all

For some of us it already has. Big pants are very comforting to me at the moment, in my pregnant state! Bugger this under the bump nonsense. Big pants are empowering.

Anyway, she could probably harness the wind power from all the flapping .... eco-pants ...

Nickytwoshoes I wasn't being rude. I was saying it wasn't funny and at least she is clean.

ok wotu, sorry.
AM loving my new name!

Well, I'm 33 and have discovered the comfort and security of big pants. A friend describes them as 'harvester pants' - everything is safely gathered in. Looking at thongs in M&S makes me wince. When I think about the scraps of material I used to wear, I marvel that I didn't catch my death of cold. Good on your neighbour, I say!!

it is never unreasonable to be amused by anything

humour in all things essential to balanced and happy life

I love my big pants .

I've got a back problem (bulging disc) atm and big pants keep it all cosy and warm, I am ancient though (37 today)

i saw the thread title and thought it'd be sexy, tiny underwear!!!

I'm only 23, and currently live in my big knicks they are much warmer now its nearly december!!!!

WTF?? You're weird.

big pants fantastic - hold bulgy bits in, avoid VPL, insulating, poss. contraceptive, source of AMUSEMENT

LMAO at poss. contaceptive

My neighbour is so strange, nearly every day she will have one thing hanging out on the line like a pair of gloves or a tea towel.

I would have just hung it over the radiator.

Maybe she can't afford to have the heating on?

Maybe she has urinary incontinence and needs to wear them for her pads.
ha ha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARMADUKE!!!

Nowt wrong with big pants.

I work in an old folks home and have seen much, much worse was getting someone dressed, is a dementia home, and went to grab a pair of knickers from drawer and grabbed a pair of bloody long john's, I mean knee length with frilly elastic bits at bottom. Now that was funny.

And we have a few with lace and leapord print knickers that's just creepy. Was v.shocked by that!

I don't find it funny in the least.

My wonderful late grandmother had to do this because of old age incontience issues. And you know, my mum used to say it was best never to hang them outdoors because of what silly bitchy neighbours would say.

I used to think mum was wrong. Obviously not.

Second the pad thingy that is a good point.

You'd think I'd have thought of that wouldn't you...
