hmmmmmm, drive too close to your rear end, brake unneccessarily, talk very loudly, have funny accents, but are quite friendly really. BUT what do you do? We haven't seen any families around, no kiddies in pubs which makes us feel a bit guilty! Where do you all go to? And why do most of your pubs have really shite names like "The Shoulder of Lamb" eh?????

Yes, used to freeze the hairs (and snot) up your nose and the corners of your eyes. Maddest thing I did in Poland was go camping (with three men) up on the Russian border in November. I have never been as cold in my life. Had to share sleeping bag and body fluids to keep warm.

Southern Slapper that I am...

A vest to be warm in

And you took your long johns off????

Janh · 28/12/2005 22:15

She probably had convenient crotchless ones, MI.

Tanzie · 28/12/2005 22:15

ooooh, Jan, we used to run to the Little Angel for last orders when the 2 Bs closed at 1030, as the Angel on the Bridge stayed open until 1100. Until I started going out with the barman (Henry!) at the 2Bs, then we could drink as long as we liked!

Tanzie · 28/12/2005 22:16

Yes, MI, I did. I found the large hairy man a lot warmer.

motherinferior · 28/12/2005 22:17

this one is perfectly acceptable in black

motherinferior · 28/12/2005 22:17

Vest that is, not bloke.

Tortington · 28/12/2005 22:18

Tanzie · 28/12/2005 22:19

I think he took his gloves off...

Janh · 28/12/2005 22:19

vests don't have long sleeves

Tanzie · 28/12/2005 22:21

The V necked long vest is hideous. I can't imagine any man wanting to fight his way through that. Strangely the long sleeved one is better. Looks less...vest-like.

Janh · 28/12/2005 22:22

Very desirable man in vest hehehe

WideWebWitch · 28/12/2005 22:23

WideWebWitch · 28/12/2005 23:05

snigger Janh!

hunkermunker · 28/12/2005 23:20

Pruni, you make me larf

Northerners don't feel the cold because they wear whippets on their heads and take flat caps for brisk walks several times a day. Or something.

Bozza · 29/12/2005 09:20

Well you lot have all educated me now. Didn't know you were all waearing vests.

noddyholder · 29/12/2005 09:26

too cold to go out although I do sympathise with you northerners having to collect firewood when we just flick a switch down here but nevermind you are all so down to earth!

MABS · 29/12/2005 09:33

we just chuck our kids on the fire for firewood don't we Noddy?
