A skirt!?! You had me frothing with worry into my popcorn while you went shopping!

Pah!

Oh, OK then, Skirtless Highstreet Chains can go in.

Also all forms of animal print, with a special circle of Hell reserved for polyester animal print.

But I loathe shopping. And cities. And shopping in cities most of all. I lose all sense of decorum and start panic buying lime green furry onesies instead :eek:
I don't actually own a skirt in any shape or form and now only have the week end to find something for a funeral on Monday . Lime green furry onesie or my usual get up just won't do.:rolleyes:

Signy

I'm back after a long day!

Can I recommend adverts for the simple reason I like to watch a programme and not the ads! Also include the constant promos for the programmes and shows that the channels are due to air. It really does get on my .........?!

Not sure about adverts. Some are better than the programmes. Would put sport commentators / pundits in. They yatter on for longer than the sport event.

Nominate the instruction sheets from Ikea. Or to be more specific, the illustration of the seven foot Swede assembling a wardrdrobe with his eyebrows level with the top. And smiling :arghh:

Yes fleas in. Did your mother mean you should steam the dog?

Don't tempt me... ;)

Actually, I would love one of those fancy Hoover attachments that allow you to vacuum the dog! Only problem - he's so small he would probably disappear up the tube?

That is my Mr B's hand, for scale.
 
Couldn't you go in a black onesie. I mean no one would notice? Would they? Most wear their nightclothes to walk around and with curlers in as well!

You'll have to let us know who and what they did first and we can make a decision :)

Actually, it's not IKEA I want to go in. It's another company, with a short name. Their strap lines are all about service, but, in my view, they have lost their way. The saga would horrify, or bore you, so I won't wind myself up again.

Definitely. They always look a bit like photocopies so are not quite in focus

I nominate cold callers who ring my doorbell right in the middle of my dinner, ignoring the sign that tells them not to.

Yes! We installed a camera at the door. Only open the door to people we want. Best investment ever.

Most of the so called pundits practice being condescending to the viewers!
I often turn the sound down especly on ITV. The swearing and shouting at the morons from my armchair, and I'm such a quiet chap!

Then you could make up your own commentary. Doesn't even have to be about the relevant sport lol
 
The last funeral I went to (thankfully 3 years ago), I bust a gut to wear black (not usually that... er... decorous), and was shocked to find people wearing very ordinary not-made-any-effort-at-all clothes.

One lady was wearing BRIGHT RED.

- but what am I thinking! So sorry! Who is the deceased? Is is the lady who was going into the hospice?
Very sorry for you all. How are the family coping?

Don't think I haven't considered it !
I'm so desperate I even checked out the Goth Shop (and believe me, no one can sneer to olympic standard than a teen goth shop "assistant " )

But no joy, unless I want to go looking like this :

Yes but I cannot get beyond the first couple of yards into the store. Just can't do the route round the place. The smell of meatballs and the noisy family outings makes me turn and run against the tide of people to get the hell out of there.
