Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

I make no comment on this....I am not that daft :eek:

Lancashire women urged to smarten up

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Well I'm not brave enough to make a comment either Roy, but 15% talking with their mouth full is disgusting:eek::D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Ok, count me in lol

I do:

Drinking beer from a pint glass (saves going to the bar as often)
&
Sing in the street when Im drunk, but I dont have to be drunk to do this, am just a mother who sings with her kids while walking round............

Dont wear greying underwear, but do wear mis-matched. At the end of the day id rather wear comfortable underwear that doesnt match than uncomfortable underwear that does match, you guys do not have that problem. I dont worry about if it matches, who see's it???????

I can be elegant if i need to be, and do try to look decent when I go out (nothing to short or too revealing!) I dont think im that bad, although for every day wear I do go for comfort as I have two young 'uns to run round with so let people critisize, so long as my kids are well cared for, clean and dressed well then I will do as I am.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

I don't condone it, but it is just part of the feminist trend for equality in slobishness
'If men don't take the trouble why should they' attitude

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

LOL, see these type of women everyday:rolleyes:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Oh well guess i'm a slob then!
I drink from a pint glass,Sing in the street but i don't have to be drunk!
I wear comfortable underwear,not necessarily greying(ok maybe one or two!)
I eat fast food and occasionally have spoken with my mouth full!
But like Emzy i can be elegant too when i choose but when i'm at home after a long day at work then if i want to slob out in my fiances old t-shirt and have a beer in a pint glass then what is the harm?

Spot on Margaret, plenty of them too. ;)

Proud to say do not indulge in any of these slobbish ways, although have been known to re-apply lipstick in public, which would have been frowned on years ago.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Yuk .. bet you wear shorts and trainers too. LOL

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Shorts have their place - with knee socks and walking boots
I had a schoolgirl passion for David Attenborough :D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

No...........Long Johns with blue socks and open toe'd sandles...:hidewall::D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Shorts with my legs kate:D but I'll put my hands up to the trainers:rolleyes:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Good 'innit how we have changed this thread around to 'male slobbishness' .. :D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Royboy .. do you mind, just about to make me tea .. :rolleyes:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Kate - we ought to be thankful that braces and a knotted hanky are not the current trend

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

They are in Benidorm.......and that's the women :p
There you are.....back on track.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

That made me chuckle .. did you mean braces to hold up their pants or socks !
Can you imagine the sock ones, would definitely turn you off at some stage of certain proceedings ... LOL.

Sorry fellas .. also hate football shirts ('cept at football matches).

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Whenever I see a man wearing a football shirt with a number - I am very tempted to ask-

'Is that your age, or your shoe size?'

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Oh no you don't..........this thread is about women....Isn't it????:D:eek:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Hi Margaret.

Its probably their IQ.

Retlaw

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Cms or feet and inches ?

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Well yes, but we have covered that so might as well have a little bit of fun now turning the tables.. :p

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

NO - it's about women copying men in the name of sexual equality

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Good chat up line that Margaret.....I bet you would get some choice replies?

Very clever way of keeping the subject on men......We were discussing lasses.............thread wander so you tell me :D:hidewall::hothothot

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

I would never ever chat up a man wearing a football shirt :eek:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

He might take it off if you asked him nicely....................:gooddog:
What am I saying???????????? :p

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Wearing their man's old T-shirt in bed (44%)
Sporting ill-fitting bras and greying pants (42%)
Regularly leaving the house without brushing teeth or hair (26%)
Doing the school run with a coat over their pyjamas (17%)
Drinking beer from a pint glass (43%)
Singing in the street while drunk (41%)
Talking with their mouth full (15%)
Eating fast food and applying make-up on public transport (25%).


Ok old mans tshirt in bed? His clothes are all in scotland - well nearly theres one item of clothing he left down here but i aint wearing it/them.
Ill fitting bras and greying pants - was sized up for my bras, greying pants - i dont wear white pants unless under white trousers and then they are white silky shorts ....
leaving the house without brushing my teeth - if i have a fit i cant brush my teeth after biting my tongue toothpaste sends me into orbit also mouthwash does... so what i do is brush my teeth without toothpaste always brush my hair before leaving my bedroom never mind the house!!!
doing the school run - what kids? Ok i did the school run sometimes with my niece but was always washed and dressed before i went out the house
drinking from a pint glass - course you do - its cheaper than buying a half - cos they always tag on an extra 5p for a half.... also its easier when out and about buying a pint especially when in a busy pub...
singing in the street while drunk ..... so what everyone does that - worst is when they think theyre in tune....
talking with their mouth full.... been known to do this - mainly when shouting at the nieces and nephews to stop fighting especially in maccydees.....
you tell me who hasnt walked down blackpool front with a bag of chips in their hand?
i dont wear makeup that often - only if im off out for the night - even then i dont wear it playing pool .... no fellas there to impress.....:D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Women are just as entitled to be slobs as men are Margaret, its just that they don't like use tlling them:D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

I can imagine that a woman slob would get angry by being told.......
........by a man who is a slob himself.

It is now very rare to see a man smartly dressed.
Mens casual wear can be smart
eg poloneck and chinos, cords with a crew neck sweater

What defines a man as a slob in my book is -
trainers, jogging pants, football shirts
unless he happens to be jogging to a football field

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

I'm cut to the quick Margaret, you have just described me to a tee, but thats how I feel comfortable. Mind you thats only when I'm out with the mates, other times its Farah stacks, M & S type shirt black loafers and black blazor or leather jacket, not bomber type

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Life's too short to worry what other people are thinking all the time.

I admit that in the comfort of my own house (especially at the weekend) I am a slob (tartan pyjama bottoms and baggy fleece in winter or baggy shorts & t-shirt in summer).

However, I need to go through the full personal hygiene routine (excluding make-up) followed by the "what uncomfortable items shall I wear today" dilemma, before leaving the house (even for just a short errand).

The minute I return home, I'm back in comfy trousers and fleece.

I am not personally comfortable in trackie bottoms (even for sport), but if some women are, and they have they confidence to be seen out in daylight wearing them, who am I to criticise:alright:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

I am exactly the same even down to the make up, as long as I am comfy that is all that matters:)

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Goes without saying if you're from Padiham. Dingles with their brains kicked out.:D:D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

But what if you have to wear trakkie bottoms for work like what i do? My uniform is a polo shirt and trakkie bottoms and trainers. I'm not going to wear decent stuff to go to work in, then get changed at work and after work get changed again to come home.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Wearing their man's old T-shirt in bed (44%) Did this years ago, but love my pjs now:p
Sporting ill-fitting bras and greying pants (42%) Nope never:eek:
Regularly leaving the house without brushing teeth or hair (26%) Nope Never:eek:
Doing the school run with a coat over their pyjamas (17%) No way!!!! although dont have to do school run anymore.
Drinking beer from a pint glass (43%) All the time need to keep up with hubby ;)
Singing in the street while drunk (41%) Did when I was younger but wouldnt these days ..
Talking with their mouth full (15%) nope one of my pet hates..
Eating fast food and applying make-up on public transport (25%).Nope try not to use public transport unless I really have to .. dont like buses:eek:


Sereiously though all these things vary from individuals but what ever it dosent mean that all women are slobs, I have known women take thier kids to school whilst still wearing pjs but dont mean they are slobs or bad people or anything like that , just they slept in (which we all do from tiime to time ) and they wanted to get thier kids to school on time.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Wearing their man's old T-shirt in bed (44%) - all the time if not naked
Sporting ill-fitting bras and greying pants (42%) - recently my breasts have grown due to putting on weight, so the bra one is true... not with the panties though haha
Regularly leaving the house without brushing teeth or hair (26%) - I sometimes dont brush my hair, but its pretty much the same anyway
Doing the school run with a coat over their pyjamas (17%) - don't do this one of course
Drinking beer from a pint glass (43%) - definitely!? what is WRONG with this?!
Singing in the street while drunk (41%) - I sing in the street when sober, and when i'm drunk i'm too busy concentrating on getting home without singing!
Talking with their mouth full (15%) - if needs be, but not very often on this one. I at least put my hand over my mouth if I desperately need to talk.
Eating fast food and applying make-up on public transport (25%). I have done both, and I'm not that bothered about it, seen as I am constantly rushing around and don't always have time to sit and eat normally, same goes for makeup, though normally I take time over this.

I wouldn't say these things make me less of a lady. I think a lot of women feel sexy in their mans shirt in bed!?
And why the hell should women wear make up anyway, or stop drinking from pint glasses?

I think the telegraph has stooped to an all time low with writing these sort of articles in replacement of real local news. No wonder we're drinking pints nowadays :p

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

think there is a lot to said for the views shown in this clip
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JKTaukDhHus&feature=related

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

It is funny, but very true. I have met a lot of men that have been put off by me saying something intelligent, I get a much better response if I just nod and laugh at all their jokes.

I still look my age though and I haven't got a beard yet, though some my use the phrase 'that'll put hairs on yer chest' when it comes to some of the beverages I consume haha.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

lasses n men it dont matter a rats what they wear so long as its clean, those who think differant want to get a life in my book, snotty gits. p.s.i never wear trackies etc, not cos its chav, cos its MY choice.:rolleyes:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Funnily enough, when you're young in this era of chav fashion, you get looked down on if you're NOT wearing trackies and the right pair of trainers.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Think we may have gone off the point a little here Cashy, OK we have stated our likes/dislikes as to certain items of cloths. All these can look quite tidy, just (as the lady in the picture), on how they are worn.

Lots of people don't like jeans ... I do, and think they are Ok, worn at the correct size and with a decent top, etc., but the picture does not do her any favours.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

She probably didn't ask your opinion though either :p

I wear things that could be considered slobbish, for example I wear my uni hoody a lot. At uni, this is absolutely acceptable, because we're all wandering around in hoodies and jeans. It might not be as acceptable if I wore that to a resteraunt or church.

The only reason I am drawing on this is because you used the phrase 'decent top', and perceptions of what is decent differs depending on where you are.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

why have i gone off point?:confused: the opening post said lasses are encouraged to smarten up. i'm saying if its clean its ok- just n opinion of some snotty get. its called fashion summat some seem to have forgotten or be past it. i say leave em to it.

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

Took you long enough!!!!!:D

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

No need to get personal:mad:

Just as well I don't know where you live or I'd have to send "the girls" round to sort you out:eek:

Anyway, what have that nice family off Emmerdale got to do with this subject:rolleyes:

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

You'll have to get used to derogatory terms about people from padiham/burnley/oswaldtwistle/darwen etc... happens a lot of this forum :p

Re: Lasses.....The've got you sussed
 

now thats unfair, most dingles think its a compliment.:D;)
