[Closed] Meat socks

😆

Sorry. The socks are what you commented on?

😯

off to a photoshoot for Beardy Mc****hammer's style mag?

Your braver than me flashy, I wouldn't have given someone my phone/camera to take a pic of me looking the other way...

Strong look, you got a problem with that?

It's a million degrees today.

If you have to try that hard to an individual then you are a cock, and me being me i would feel the need to say something, I'd prob comment on his wooly hat (in summer?), then i'd ask about his caricature jacket and query if he knew the reasoning behind why the characters had been drawn with big doe-eyes?, i'd have to pass comment on his little sisters leggings (wtf was he thinking when he left the house? - bet his mother is so proud), And those socks pulled up to his knees?…………..and platform soled converse….and a beard….and wearing sunglasses inside?………I'm so disappointed i'll never get to confront such a creature, you don't get any folk dressed like that in dumfries and galloway….they'd be ripped to shreds by the locals.

I of course am wearing my usual fashionable attire of Endura singletrack shorts and cheap Karrimor top from sports direct with a pair of inov8 roc325 trainers, pretty much my go-to attire for every day of my life, whether that be at work or play.

....but wouldn't that also make you a cock?

Live and let live, etc etc.

That's one of the things I like about London, weird shit like that goes on and nobody bats an eyelid.
I guess they are a bit more broad minded down here than Dumfries and Galloway.

You think he's trying hard? Looks quite effortless to me? 😆

He's got a lovely little arse.

His bearded face is a serious disappointment.

Weird shit goes on up here as well, but then again it does usually involve folk from Wigtonshire (folk fae the [i]shire[/i] as they're colloquially known) and farmyard animals so the less said about them and their habits the better for the rest of us.

What goes on behind barn doors is their business.

I often wonder about the wooly beanie thing at the height of summer.
And I'll be honest, if I'm in That London, and it's sunny, I'm buggered if I'm going to take my sunnies off, that means having to dig around in the depths of a large courier bag to find the case, and I really can't be arsed.
Much easier to leave 'em on, I can see perfectly well.
And it's easier to check out pretty girls, too. 😉

where's the dudes fixie?

i thought the title was a euphemism tbh 😳

This was taken in Sydney..... Looks like central station. Is it sad that I know that? Although that guy is [i]slightly[/i] unusual even by Sydney standards, he's not the biggest wierdo I've seen on the train.

There is a chap that uses that standing area for a full-on Yoga workout - gets his foam mat out and everything. He even does those yoga headstand things on a moving train. fair play.

what did it say on his hat?

I just can't imagine ever looking in a mirror before leaving the house dressed like that and thinking 'Nailed it!'.

i thought the title was a euphemism tbh

Well the socks certainly are.
Wonder if his sleeves are emblazoned with 'wizard', or his pockets labelled 'otter's'

what did it say on his hat?

I think the hidden letters are "NON".

This dude has been doing the rounds for a while.

Intrigued as to what Somafunk thinks the hidden agenda behind doe eyed manga characters is? big eyes = innocence, small eyes = evil, in cartoon world.

It would be truly wonderful if, out of our field of view, the right hand side of the socks had

Embroidered on them...

Haha brilliant

It's amazing how some people have no sense of embarrassment whatsoever.

I'd have gone for Bacon myself.

In general I see this a good thing. I'm not sure it's a look I could pull off, but I'm glad there are people around happy to give it a go. Life wold be very grey if the world all dressed stw approved.

I'm sure he gives half a flying **** what a load of tedious middle-aged IT managers think of him. Fair play to the flamboyant chap I say, you're only young once: make the most of it and dress up like a tit before the universe crushes you into a Marks and Sparks suit and tie like every bastard else out there. Run free, little hipster! Ignore the haters!

[Edit: *stands next to convert wearing a silly hat*]

Passionate carnivore or devout vegetarian? Outspoken feminist or West Hollywood pick up artist?
No matter who you are, wearing our Meat Socks is sure to get you lots of attention. Made in the USA.

Aint that the truth!

And it's easier to check out pretty girls, too.

Ah, the summer assessments.

(Optionally substitute the m&s suit with a karrimor t-shirt if life has [i]really[/i] done a number on you)

This was taken in Sydney

I admire this man's ability to give zero ferks what I think about his fashion choices.

🙂

[i]I'm sure he gives half a flying **** what a load of tedious middle-aged IT managers think of him[/i]

I actually think he cares a great deal what everyone thinks of him.
But there's looking different with style and there's looking like a complete pillock.

[b]I actually think he cares a great deal what everyone thinks of him.[/b]

Exactly.

If he didn't care what people thought of him, he'd be wearing jeans and a teeshirt, or any other stuff you can buy in every clothes shop or supermarket in the world.

The only reason to wear that stuff is because you care what people think.

You probably want some of them to hate it, but that not the same as "not caring"

It's done for attention, either negative or positive, makes no difference.

Ooh, you'll set the fleece flying with that comment...

i can already hear the impatient angst ridden stamping of activity sandals and the rustle of beige action slacks

If he didn't care what people thought of him, he'd be wearing jeans and a teeshirt

I demand that this man conform to demonstrate his indifference. Subversion is just too subversive to demonstrate real apathy!

😉

Whilst we may look down on fashionistas, we'll be wearing what next year they're wearing this year 🙂

They would express their displeasure if only they could get their phones out of the Next cargo pants leg pocket quick enough.

Exactly. I think it's brilliant he dresses like that ! I used to go to Brick lane just to look at people like that because it was so entertaining. More of this sort of thing!

what did it say on his hat?

He doesn't give a toss what you think about him (you are boring so your opinion is meaningless to him) just as long as you are thinking/talking about him. Mission accomplished, I'd say.

That's pretty much what I meant. (Possibly badly explained though)

He cares that other people have an opinion on what he's wearing.

Good or bad doesn't matter, as long as they are noticing him.

For some reason You've presumed that i don't like and that I'm "boring"

For what it's worth, I think it's great.

Those leggings would go brilliantly with my coral coloured safety boots at work.

Jeez, were none of you moaners ever a teenager then? Have you always dressed sensibly? Or do you just have short memories?

Go that bloke! 😆

I think I would rather go for a pint with this gentleman, than someone wearing red trousers.

[i]just assuming that pretty much everyone on here (myself included) is "boring" compared to this guy! [/i]

Can you tell that he's actually interesting, just because he dresses stupidly? Maybe he's compensating for the lack of a personality.

Why is it that IT people who wear red trousers are always bellends?

That's not really true. In London they [i]do[/i] bat an eyelid but, being too scared to have any sort of communication with any stranger, they won't say a word. The other people in that carriage would merely bottle it up until they got home and tell their loved ones, "You'll never guess what I saw today.."

If this bloke had been on a bus in Swansea (or Dumfries or wherever) you can bet that he'd be in the middle of a conversation about where he got those leggings, or whatever. Or maybe a fight, depending on the time of night... 😆

But would obviously take a sly photo and post it on a forum/Facebook afterwards to mock.

Just like in this case.

Or like that poor girl in Lancaster, beaten to death for being a goth.

FWIW, I am currently sporting les pantalons rouge.

Good on you CFH. We like that sort of thing round here. I'll have pint with you any time... Red Lion maybe?

Jamie - Freeloader! But we still like him

Well I don't think we were offering Jamie a pint anyway, were we?

Do I shout out snap or happy families now?

I'm also wearing red trousers, well more of a dark salmon colour

Am I the only one who wishes the chap on the tube an enjoyable stag night and the best of luck for his imminent nuptials?

Julian, was there for a cheeky pint in the sun just the other day! Tomato plants were looking very good out the back.

The blonde barmaid, by the way. Assume that you've noticed.......

Let me know when you're next in the hood!

However much effort that fellas put into his look.

It's dwarfed by a serious Goths effort. Barely any make up. 4/10.

Can I just ask? Were any of the posters prior to that comment, Middle aged It managers?

Haven't been in since last Friday night when I popped in to book table for a week or so hence.

Not sure if the barmaid to whom you refer was there that night... I had been imbibing some rather delightful beer that was in a French supermarket just a few days before and might not have been as alert as usual. Can't speak for the tomato plans, either, I'm afraid.

Next in the hood? I live here...

Intriguing!

What do you ride? If you see a teal Enduro or a red and black Brompton, it's almost certainly me!

Also, hearing interesting rumours re the White Hart.

Hey CFH, I don't ride any more (after MrsJulianA's serious head injury) I just enjoy the banter here - and trying to help out with some occasional travel / botany / ornithological / aeronautical info (loved the chat about the Staggerwing recently).

I'll look out for the bikes you describe and say hi if I see you.

Haven't heard anything about the White Hart recently - sad waste the way it is at the moment, although it's never been a decent pub since we've been in the village (around nine years). Did have a good Thai meal quite a few years ago but nothing since then.

The Red Lion's the only game in the village food-wise for us, although the Watership's reasonable these days. Looking forward to seeing what happens re a certain gin mill!

Bike show and fly-in at Popham on 16/17 August, by the way. Usually some nice aircraft there even if you don't like bikes...

Looking forward to seeing what happens re a certain gin mill!

You mean that you haven't had your tap installed yet? 😉

If not the bikes, you'll know Little Miss CFH when you see her! Chirpy little blonde bundle of awesomeness who says hello to everyone!

Was wondering about tapping one of the vats and running a line up the river. I thought a decent head of gin would counteract the difference in height between there and here...!

We'll meet soon, I guess!

Julian, this may be hard to believe, but I think I met your sister in Oxford the other day. Assuming that you have a sister who lives in Oxford. One who had lost her cat at the time

Ask her about the chap in a smart suit that she met at a bus stop.....She knows how to get in touch with me!

Small world. Or is this all some strange TV show set up?

.....She knows how to get in touch with me!

Easy now.... 😉

😀

I must say that this thread hasn't turned out as I expected!

Quite the coincidence, CFH! I do have a sister who lives in Oxford. I thought it was probably you that she was talking about when she mentioned that she'd met someone who lived in this village and confirmed a few other details that matched up with things that you have mentioned on here.

I'll get her to send me some contact details - or you can email me: vdub1992 at hotmail dot co dot uk.

It would be good to have a pint or two!

Cheers

Julian

INCOMING!

🙂

I'm pleased to be able to confirm that the cat in question is no longer AWOL but has been reunited with his human!

He seems to have been stuck in a garage or similar - he was very hungry and very pleased to be home when he returned.

I am already aware of the cat situation. Do try and keep up! 😉
