To think that middle aged women are really a bit pointless?

[Hullygully]

What is the point of them?

Really?

That'll be the karate suit - it chafes and does not support. You need to wear sturdy underwear and frocks.

Still, I'd rather wear a karate suit than shop in Next. I hate Next, it gives me static hair when I go in.

I go in Next like I'm going to have a magic surprise and it will be full of plain blue items.

Next was good in about 1985.
Honest. You would never believe it now. I bought a suit from there to wear the night I had my date with Freddie Mercury
I was working the whole -"yeah I finish at 6.00 so you could pick me up in the city at 8.00 " thing.
Didn't work. I was just a weird bird in a suit in a night club

Next is ok for kids clothes - that's about it.

Yes Paggy, it was. That's why I still keep going in there and being surprised at how rubbish it is. Like expensive Ladybird clothes.

Come on then, tell us about your date with Gay Fred.

I am not laughing Maryz.
That was how I found out about the whole moustache situation

That happened to me aged 26 Mary I was shamed.

Errr you had a date with Freddie Mercury? More info. Like all info. Please.

Only wear them in hot steamy rooms, Mary. Everything will look better.

It was wasn't it?

Not much to tell. He was very charming in his Fred Perry shirt. I met shalamar and Peter stringfellow...you are dead jealous of my 80s cool thing. I can tell.

He had a gold rolls Royce. That was quite nice. And the waiters and people sucked up massively. Then my friend threw up and we had to go hone

I love this thread (and well done Sjue with the list). Two things have really struck a chord. Door-step incontinence. Yes, only at home, thank you, but why?

And the 'coat for best'. DH suggested I get rid of my 'best' coat as I "haven't worn it for years." That, I pointed out, is a GOOD THING. It means no-one has died. At least not in the winter months

Yes, DD is five and has had a few nice bits and pieces from Next. Not the weirdy sportswear saying NEXT on the front, as if she is a shop assistant or some such nonsense.

Fess up on the Freddie Date.

Yes, if she isn't she's in bother, we want to hear about her sex date with Fred.

I HAD A DATE WITH MARTY PELLOW FROM WET WET WET

Aged 22

So there

Pag that is PATHETIC.

Come on, tell it properly.

Hahaha go hone sounds rude.

He said I was beautiful and bought me lots of champagne. But no sex.

The list was not all me own work, obvs.

Peter Stringfellow too? You know how to live...

WHAT ABOUT THE TEETH AND TACHE?

Was it a sex date Proud? Not interested if not. Only Sex Dates allowed.

No sex people.

You know me. Do I sound like rampant sex woman?

Oh Pag you tease. You've disappointedly me massively. I was hoping for lewdness and dwarves with cocaine on their heads.
