"Don't You See Some Sights, When You Haven't Got Your Gun?"

When on holiday in the past, we often did a bit of "people watching," if we're relaxing sitting outside a pub with a drink on the sea front.

A middle-aged, overweight, bald-headed man in track suit bottoms, an Umbro sweatshirt and wearing white "holiday trainers," is worth the maximum ten points.

 

Here he would be in shorts, no tee shirt and flip flops ... and bright red called 'beef' here! NOT a pretty sight I can assure you.

We love people watching.

 

Tattoos commemorating the highlights of football games- +10 points. NUC ones- +20 points

Our janitor Gary recently got a large tattoo on his back celebrating his Geordie roots and football associations. (Personally, I think those are the best kind of tattoos, they are honestly something you have chosen to live with. Tribals and Pamela Anderson barbed wires are not that smashing IMHO). Anyways, I admired the inkwork and told Gary that the spelling mistakes just add to the character. He went pale and probably spent the evening watching his back... OK, that was mean and I told him the next day that it was a joke

Another good tat bit is a large one on a Finnish z-class celebrity who decided on a windmill design and a caption "when there is a mill, there's a way" on her belly. I'll try to find the article.

Digressing, thankfully we are in offtopic

 

I've never understood why some young women have tattoos. I don't find them attractive and over time they fade and become even more unattractive .

Someone mentioned this about tattoos on a music message board.

Check it out, as I did, there wasn't a tattoo between any of them.





Mind you young women dancing has changed a bit over the years. Makes me feel tired just watching. Maybe none of them could stay still long enough to get a tattoo?

 

So what's wrong with white trainers?
I wear them year round. :rasp:

 

I've been contemplating replying to this thread so as not to upset anyone but sod it here goes...
I'm not a feminist by any stretch of the imagination .When... as per the title of this thread..I'd say the 'don't you see some sights'...from where I'm sat the women fall down in a big way..what on earth is happening to the women of today...they're supposed to be 'tough' yet quick to plead their innocence Yeah we know Men have their foibles but we expect that don't we ladies..'Shut your face @pete.Annnnnyway... we all need each other whether we like it or not so deal with it..besides, I for one are far too long in the tooth and I won't be burning my brassier any time soon as I need all the support I can get.

 

The "deal with it" comment reminded me of this bit of advice.

 

What? What? what?

 

Now this is something I don't like ... wearing trainers (men or women) all year round! I imagine they smell nice ... NOT! I can remember walking in a friend's teenage son's room (with her I might add) and the smell was revolting! I think Febreze did an ad re this. There are things called shoes or sandals to wear at appropriate times. I am obviously old fashioned but also have a sense of style and taste. I do not own a pair of trainers.

 

Does anybody remember this sorry episode.
