ties

thebaz

One of humainities most useless inventions , finally seams to be exiting from public life -- the tie .
Ever since school i've hated wearing ties, and respect Tony Gregory for his similar attitude to this symbol of correct and civilised society.
Nowadays , most top businessmen don't bother with them, and if you go out to fancy do's they are no longer a requirement .
Out of curiosity would you still wear a tie to an important interview ??

I hear that Renegade! Though it has to be a single colour for me like black or a nice darkish colour of blue. Can't stand multi-coloured ones myself. Back when I had long hair I could slick it back and look like some bad guy on some shìtty TV3 movie.

Yeah that's the spirit. I kinda like the whole tie thing. It makes me look all important when I'm walking doen the street even though I'm just a code-monkey.

Plus it gives you the right to push people out of your way and shout:

The fact that the humble tie is being discarded by office drones in their hundreds to opt for the "I'm at work but I'm still casual" look last rocked by London City Brokers in the 80s while off duty in wine bars is sufficient to make me want to wear ties all the time, in work or not. Especially those cool knitted 60s square bottom ones. The kind of punters who have ditched their ties would only be wearing a) incredibly garish b) pink c) cartoon-character based or d) sh*te ties anyway, so no loss to anyone.

Have you considered getting shirts that fit you?

I like ties. Poll anyone?

Back in Victorian days was the tie a decorated cod piece? It just got elevated? Oops!

I hate ties. I hated wearing them in school, they felt too restrictive.

I probably only hated them because they were on the school dress code though!

i wear a tie every day exept saturday, its an essential part of being business-like

randylonghorn

Can't stand the farking things ... make me feel as if I'm choking! I was probably hung in a previous life!

Haven't worn one in years, thankfully don't work in an area where anyone cares much usually.

Mind you, went to a conference abroad last year with the boss, and when we got there she suggested it would be a good idea if I wore a tie the next day. I pointed out I didn't possess one, so I was dragged out shopping! :rolleyes:

We were to meet for breakfast before it started the next morning, so for mischief I wore the tie all right ... as a belt! She gave me one dirty look and said "All right! You win! DON'T wear the f-ing thing then!"

I haven't heard a word on the subject since! \o/

EDIT: I suppose you could say she was fit to be tied!

I like ties, but then I like uniforms, very handy in the mornins, when I was workin more as a salesman I wore a suitandtie, but that was sellin things like Cars/Tellys/computers/Telephones (not all at the same time like - tho with some modern cars ya probably could).

Now I work in a timberyard so the tie is a bit out of place with the orange safety shirt.

Dave!

I have no strong feelings whatsoever towards ties.

AAAGGGHH, FIGHT THE POWER.

Its just a tie, it finishes an outfit properly. I don't know where you work or what fancy events you go to but in all of those situations i have seen no-one without a tie.

I wear one for work, don't mind it. Think they're a good addition to most peoples appearance. But only in the workplace of course. I'd never wear one on a night out on the 'ti - les' or anything like that!

Don1

You have to wear them. What would you tie around your head while locked at an after-work social while making a complete plank of yourself in front of the bosses?! :eek:

Ties ftw. I like wearing them. Although just been promoted recently and have now been told that I have to wear them so have already received two talking-downs for wearing jeans and t-shirt even though I knew I'd be arsing about in the stockroom and getting filthy on those two days.

ejmaztec

Of course, there are ties and then there are ties. Do they still sell those seedy looking wide ones with an embroidered naked lady on them? I often wondered about wearing one to an interview, or at least on the first day of a new job - just to set the tone to a professional level.
