OK I am being sexist, but that Next dress on the front of today's DT really got my day off to a bad start. Fair enough, her pins are pretty good, but a woman of her age does NOT IMO wear a little pink shirt dress suitable for a girl/woman less than half her age several inches above the knee.
Girlish? Yuk!
Say what you like about Michelle Obama or Sam Cam but they knew how to look elegant, whether formally dressed or smart casual.
(Brigitte Macron is another whose determination to look "young" irritates me.There is such a thing as trying TOO hard. )

Why not petra ? DH and I share an office at work . He can have Treesa ( in that dress of course) and I will have sexy Vlad grin

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 09:36:56

Oh I guessed so Anniebach but the photo I posted of his comrade sex personified really threw me .

petra Sat 05-Aug-17 09:23:35

Oh gillybob I nearly had a Tena moment there: screen saver, hilarious.

Anniebach Sat 05-Aug-17 09:15:59

Gilly, I am speaking of the one who is going to solve all the problems of this country , everyone employed etc

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 09:12:52

I'm thinking about using it as a screen saver meeself . wink

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 09:12:04

Now you've just been looking far too hard
petra grin

petra Sat 05-Aug-17 09:08:57

Definitely brushed nylon, not a crease to be seen.

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 09:06:58

Are we talking about the same "great one"
though Anniebach? hmm

Smithy Sat 05-Aug-17 08:52:11

Yeah maybe you're right gb!

Anniebach Sat 05-Aug-17 08:43:12

I thought the great one would be peddling his was to Venezuela

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 08:21:30

I think they're rather fetching for bullet proof denim Smithysmile

Smithy Sat 05-Aug-17 08:13:44

Don't like the brown polyester trousers - must have got them from C---s 5 pairs for a tenner

gillybob Sat 05-Aug-17 07:55:16

Now that's what I call a holiday photo. grin

gillybob Fri 04-Aug-17 22:34:54

I'm so glad you got that it was a joke Anniebach (I kinda guessed you would) some people just need to "chill their beef " as my son would say.

Couldn't resist the reference to the cold beans straight from the tin. wink

Anniebach Fri 04-Aug-17 22:23:58

Gilly's post amused me , I wonder if Corby will gaze at the manhole covers there,

Jane10 Fri 04-Aug-17 21:43:37

Or just for a laugh...

Your eyesight is amazing, gillybob, if you think that woman is drooling and you can tell the shirt is brushed nylon.

Of course, you can't, can you? Anything to criticise.

petra Fri 04-Aug-17 20:55:31

Ouch, that's hitting below the belt, rose but funny grin

rosesarered Fri 04-Aug-17 20:52:59

Is he on a tandem with Dianne Abbot?

Jalima1108 Fri 04-Aug-17 20:25:31

best opt for a pizza Jeremy and a long glass of something refreshing.

Jalima1108 Fri 04-Aug-17 20:23:47

It looks a bit like the back street in Dubrovnik where I got lost and stopped for a coffee.

Hot and bothered and expecting a nice cup of coffee, I was surprised to receive an inch of strong Turkish-style coffee in a tiny cup.

gillybob Fri 04-Aug-17 18:21:06

.... and here we see a British male wearing a pair of Forest green ( liberal) shorts with off white brush-nylon shirt . Studying the menu in the local tavern... Now how do you say " cold Heinz beans straight from the tin" in Croatia? Kositra hladno grah... with a spoon"

Which member of Gransnet is going to admit to being that woman drooling at the top of the photo?

Anniebach Fri 04-Aug-17 18:07:48

Or his socks

durhamjen Fri 04-Aug-17 17:56:24

Not in his shell suit.
