Just mulling over how fantastic arse hands would be.....

You are about to sit down, Crunchie in one hand, Baileys in the other and there is Lego on your favourite chair. As you lower yourself your arse hands come out and swipe the bricks out of the way! Brilliant!

Also when you are driving and your linen trousers are getting all creased and sweaty, you lift yourself slightly and arse hands gently smooth out the creases every now and then....

I saw one yesterday with all her lumpiness on display. She was a beauty

Fimbo · 28/07/2008 14:40

With lumpy legs to match

ALL brits should be shipped off to live somwherew arm for abit and learn how to dress when 'summertime' hits for its annual long weekend.
FWIW, i'm only getting it right now, and its been 3 years

Hmmm....which bit hangs out? Over the top - ie muffin top or flabby extraneous bits of bottom round the top of the legs?

Just wonder

HuwEdwards · 28/07/2008 14:46

what is it about the age of 45?

If anyone wants to describe a woman a) over the hill or b) dressed as mutton

then the age quoted is always 45

(least I'm not blonde)

OrmIrian · 28/07/2008 14:51

I'm nearly there huw. Nearly. Not blonde though. Neither am I brassy and wouldn't now how to be it either. I thought it was a word applied to bar maids particularly.

See.... DH has bought me 2 pairs of short shorts recently. One is too big so the shorts look longer but I have to wear a long top to cover my nekkid midriff. And the others fit OK and there is a lot of leg on show. My legs are damned good though i say it myself but I do have this sneaking suspicion that leg quality is irrelevant after the age of 40. And this thread has reawakenend my fears.

Don't worry, they look crap on young women too.

Hotpants and big legs; look crap.
Hotpants and skinny chicken legs; look crap.
Hotpants and you're Betty Boo in the Doin' the Do video.... OK, go ahead.

It even loos shit on nice firm arses

A guirl at work (23 years old, v slim & attractive ) was wearing a pair today. She looked dreadful

I do not wanted to be contronted with someone else's chocolate starfish when I am getting my morning coffee and colloecting the post

HongKongFoeey · 28/07/2008 15:13

oh who gives a shit. i really couldn't giive a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut what anyone else wears.
if people wear shorts-maybe they are hot?

SheikYerbouti · 28/07/2008 15:15

Being proud and wearing shorts is one thing

Showing the world what you ate for supper last night is quite another

escape · 28/07/2008 15:15

WHO would wear a pair of hotpants to work?
only the brits....
gok needs to do a 'how to look good in warm weather' ...

(thats the power of Mn - i have lived out of UK for 5 years - have never seen Gok on TV...)

OrmIrian · 29/07/2008 09:59

But what are hot pants exactly. Last time I remember them they were v v tight but not always short shorts. Is that correct? If so I can honestly say I've never owned a pair. They seem to be irevocably linked with afro hair and Pans People.... but that's because I am nearly 45

SSSandy2 · 29/07/2008 10:03

I don't know where you could wear short shorts except maybe at the beach or in your garden?

actually come to think of it remember woman I knew in Venezuela wearing very short very tight shorts to the supermarket with tanned legs and very high-heeled golden sandals.

She looked amazing (in a positive sense, she did carry it off) but didn't feel inspired to copy her! Actually I dunno how she managed to do it without getting hassled

I don't think short shorts are ok in a city whatever the heat or however good your body. Everyone looks better more covered up
