Men Giving Men Their Old Shirts ....?

Stigura

W T F is That about, After Hours? Can anybody shine any light on it, please?

I'm sat here, draped in a huge, tent like shirt that John S once gave me. Not a bad shirt at all, to be honest. I genuinely like it. But; John is about four times as big as me. So is the shirt.

He runs a second hand shop, in town. I've bought bits from him. Given him bits, to put on his shelves ~ to free space on mine, without just wasting stuff. We owe eachother nothing. Why did he, one day, randomly give me this bloody shirt?!

John J. Lovely guy! Used to run what was my local. Loved the hours I spent, sat at the bar, nattering with JJ. Wonderful man.

I once mentioned that I didn't have a frying pan. Next time we met? He presented me with a spare frying pan, from his family kitchen. And a fcuking Shirt!!!

Frankly? I was deeply touched by the gift of the pan. I use it, once a week. And I thank JJ, every week, in my head. I always will. But, WTF was the Shirt about?! (Obviously, one doesn't blurt out these things in the moment)

Do yo thang, AH!

Were you barechested at the time?

Cover yourself up OP

Ah, good ol' JJ. Salt of the earth. He'd give you the shirt off his back so he would.

Sky King

I don't give a shirt

Pinch Flat

This would make more sense if the other chapters from the novel were there. Can we download it somewhere OP?

Thought men gave their shirts to people they had sex with?

JJ seems a sound man, he give you the shirt of his back.

So both John S and John J both have you shirts? Well isn't it painfully obvious that your own taste in shirts is so piss poor that random fat people feel obliged to give you they're despite the fact they're much bigger than you.

See? It is weird! All these replies and no one's come across it before. And, for the record; I'm not skint and nobody would get that impression of me.

Now, here's the kicker: There exists a recording, made in the 50's, of two Welsh Romani Gypsys talking in fluent Romani. They're talking just to demonstrate their language. So, it's a bit random. But, one of them actually says: " Haven't you got an old shirt you could give me? " :eek:

My point is that it's seen in even a completely different culture. Twilight Zone! :pac:

have you been as far as to do look more like?

Was it the end of a football match? Pretty common then.
