No man, you've mixed up night time and day time pyjamas. Day time ones are perfectly normal, even fashionable I might add. Your old ideas are tired and hackneyed.

Threads merged. Crazygeryy, I think you'd like the Ranting & Raving forum, it's perfect for things like this. Post here to request access.

Crazy Gerry? Are you the same crazy gerry that hangs out at numerous bus stops and gets free transport everywhere

Wait until the male scobes get jealous and start wondering around in their jocks, coz that's that they sleep in. :eek:

Seriously though. It is horrible to see these people in their pjs. It says a lot about them.

There was an article in the New York Times a while back about measuring economic activity in Ireland based on the pajama index. Apparently the wearing of pajamas in public started off over there in ghetto's like Oakland and Compton where unemployment is rife. The article specifically mentioned Limerick...it was emailed to me by an American friend, the shame

I have nothing positive to say about people who wear pajamas in public. If you want to look like a lowlife you couldn't find anything more suitable.

If business owners in Limerick stopped people from entering their stores because of pajamas then the entire city would be shut down in 24 hrs.

I'm amazed people with access to the internet and the ability to spell are defending the wearing of skanger pj's!

Here you go - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/04/business/worldbusiness/04ireland.html?pagewanted=all

It is not all about Limerick, here is the part about our lovely city.

WHILE the pain is acute in Dublin, at least the city has the small comfort of having enjoyed the full benefit of the boom.

Such is not the case in the city of Limerick. Traditionally one of Ireland’s more depressed cities, Limerick was a latecomer to the property party. While there were some good times, the downturn has had a more wrenching effect there, with unemployment over 14 percent — among the highest rates in Ireland.

The layoffs have picked up speed around Limerick in the last month, as construction companies have stopped work, seemingly on a dime, sending such a procession of jobless to seek assistance that the local unemployment office became the second busiest in the country.

The waiting room in the office is dank and gloomy, and Dale McNamara, 20, wonders how a professional life once so charmed came to be so hopeless. Since graduating from high school as an electrician, flourishing building work in the area kept him more than busy and flush enough to buy a new car, start a family and consider buying a house.

Then, without warning on Dec. 5, he was told that it would be his last day of work, just six months before he would have received his certificate as an independent electrician.

Since then, he has been frantically knocking on doors, but to no avail. Now, as rent, heating bills and car payments pile up, he is beginning to feel desperate, unable to afford a night out or a Christmas present for his 20-month-old baby.

“If I don’t get a job in the next two weeks, I am worried about losing my house,” he says. “We have no money.”

He looks at his number in the unemployment lines and grimaces — he has been waiting four hours now and his name has still not been called.

“My grandfather says this reminds him of the 1930s when everyone left for America and Australia,” he adds. “There is just no work here.”

More dire, however, is the condition of the permanently unemployed in Limerick’s festering ghettoes, where experts say the unemployment rate touches 70 percent. During the early years of the economic revival, the government did its best to spread money to such areas, which are a feature of urban life all over Ireland.

IN fact, it was through social housing projects like these that Mr. Dunne got his start as a developer. But as the investment returns in the private sector became quite obviously more lucrative, the attention paid to so-called social estates like Moyross, on the northern outskirts of Limerick, wavered.

Crime, gangland disputes and a sense of anomie flourished as Moyross and other similar projects evolved as cocoons of poverty and hopelessness amid the riches and celebration of the Irish miracle.

“This place missed out entirely on the moment,” says Stephen Kinsella, an economist at the University of Limerick. “There has been no accumulation of wealth here.”

Walking through the garbage-strewn, empty roads on a cold, misty afternoon, Mr. Kinsella points to the shuttered houses and the mothers still dressed in pajamas taking their children home from school. Social workers in Moyross refer to the “pajama index”: the more men and women one sees who do not take the time and care to dress for the day, the worse the economic situation tends to be.

The Irish government has recently begun a regeneration project in Moyross that would result in large new investments in housing and infrastructure, but the going so far has been slow.

Why comment on what people wear like tbh bit sad just get on with your lives

If you two have nothing constructive to add to this thread, don't bother posting in it. These quoted comments are pointless and annoying. Nothing within it, apart from these quoted posts, breaks the forum Charter. Nobody is making ye read the thread. Leave it to the people who want to use it.

RonMexico

Because it adds to the image of the city as a festering slum. The only sad thing is that people think it is ok to go out in public dressed like escaped psychiatric patients. It displays a contempt for what is considered acceptable and unsurprisingly comes from the same section of society who display a similar attitude to other things such as civic responsibility and adhering to the law.

OK sorry, i agree totally with the OP :rolleyes:

boards.ie now ye're talkin' as long as you all agree

It's a discussion board. People here obviously want to discuss this topic. The pair of you just want to drag it off topic.

You wouldn't interrupt a conversation between friends in a pub to tell them all to shut up. Show some respect and stop trying to ruin this thread.

If my friends were looking at a person in the pub, and based on nothing more than an item of clothing worn by that person, were concluding that they were disgusting creatures with no responsibility or respect for the law, I'd say I'd tell them to shut up.

Insect Overlord

Yeah, but you'd be hard-pushed to find a pub serving people in their pyjamas

My opinion is that if someone is waltzing around town in PJs they're probably really lazy f**kers.

And how could your standard PJ be even remotely attractive enough to decide walking around town with it on?

Although most of the PJ wearers aren't exactly models!

I saw one person sit down for dinner in a restaurant wearing them.
A reasonably formal restaurant, not somewhere like eddie rocket's or wokking.
The place is closed now. Closed soon after, in fact, even though it had always seemed to do good business.

I wonder do the people think it's cool to look like you've just wandered off from your hospital bed. More likely they have no sense of pride or shame. More likely again, they're communicating that they don't give a fnck about what's acceptable (they don't), or about how people see them (they do).

Businesses won't refuse to serve people wearing pyjamas. This is a city where people get shot for refusing to serve the "wrong person".

Where's Batman when you need him? Oh yeah - painting over graffiti.

Or else they are comfortable and don't care what other people think?

Maybe... But my strong impression is that people like that are usually extremely sensitive to what people think, although they try to project an image of not caring.

um7y1h83ge06nx

I guess you could look at it that people should wear what they like.

But on the flip side, it does give a certain impression about the place, if I was some hot shot executive looking to set up an operation in Limerick i probably wouldn't get a good impression of some of the potential workforce if I came here.

I thought this craze had died down... havnt seen so many about as of late!

It basically says "thanks for your hardearned tax money ya fool ya, I have no intention of ever weaning myself off it, if there was work in the bed I'd sleep on the floor, gizzafagwilla"

Captain Average

All it says to me is "Look at me, I didn't go to work today, and I've no intention on doing so anytime soon. Thanks for the dole money"

But these people are not some of the potential workforce. These kind of vermin have never worked a day in their lives, nor do they ever intend to. They're content to leech off society while displaying utter contempt for the average working person. They are the lowest form of life on this planet. I would encourage all businesses in the city to permanently ban them. It would go a long way towards eradicating this "fashion" trend.

I have to say im pro outside pyjamas... With any luck the people who wear them might be tempted to have a quick nap during the day - in the middle of road.

I didn't see any of them yesterday when I was doing a few errands during lunch.

Went from Denmark St. to John's Square, then to the Post Office, on to Tesco and back to Denmark St. again.

Hopefully it's a dying phase.

Too early I'd say - They be in their night-pyjamas until they get up at 2pm ish to start drinking and hitting their 11 neglected Kids.

aha here Gerry,
Its not the girls that go around wearing PJ's that I'm worried about,
its the guys wearing the fancy suits that really sponge off the state if you really think about it.
