Maybe try the Matthews centre in Cork? They're bound to have some kind of shorts in their sailing/surf/hiking/gym selections.

Toto Wolfcastle · 17-01-2010 03:10PM

Yeah thank would have been my next stop, and the surf shops in Cork too. Thanks.

jellie · 17-01-2010 03:58PM

seems obvious but i presume youve tried sports shops?

Larianne · 17-01-2010 05:34PM

Is there a TK Maxx in Cork? They'll have something.

Yeah, sports shops suck.

That's probably the reason I don't do sports.

Good idea, there's one down the road from Matthews. Or I could just go to the Blanch one.

Tis a bright shiney day out there and I'm in a mood to buy stuff.
I crave a new hat but I'm torn as two which to buy. Should I get the longed for PorkPie to replace my first ever hat that has sadly got to a condition that it's only fit for the scarecrow in the vegitable patch, or should I go for the Boater just in time for picnic season to start?
Decisions, decisions.:o

fonpokno · 18-01-2010 11:46PM

Buy both! I hope you bought both...

OldGoat · 19-01-2010 09:11AM

LOL's, I wish I had the budgit to streach to both.
Of course if I had enough to buy both hats then I'd also start thinking about getting a new fedora made. A nice grey one with a 2" brim :rolleyes:.

Embarrising things.
1) I tripped onstage and fell flat on my face infront of 300 people on Friday (including at least half a dozen boardsies). No pain except to my ego.

2) Commented to a friend on how sharp he was looking and I liked his new suit...then he told me that is was an old suit he had just gotten cleaned...backpeddled like mad by saying how good a job they had done on it and you could really see the colour well, unlike before, when it was grubby and unpressed, witha button missing...the hole I was digging just got deeper and deeper and I could not find a way out again.
If you are reading this Shadey, I'm sorry, I was drunk.

That was rather hilarious.

No no!

To be fair, I thought it was part of the performance.. Until OG's embarassed head went running back towards the seats

(At least you saved the beer)

OldGoat · 25-01-2010 11:03PM

Never spill beer! Golden Rule. And I didn't go 'running' back, ya pup.:o

Eire-Dearg · 02-02-2010 12:03AM

Yo, just posting in here to see if those wooly caps that hang down at the back have a specific name? Have been looking everywhere, but can't find one. What shops stock them?

Twee. · 02-02-2010 02:44PM

Do you mean these ones?

Hats! Did someone mention hats? We just bought the most beautiful vintage black silk top hat for a friends birthday. Even the hatbox is a work of wonder, wood, leather, brass and fully velvet lined. Broke my heart to have to hand it over even though I know she'll treasure it.

OldGoat · 08-02-2010 02:16PM

Is it just me or is the forum empty today?

I always buy one of my friends vintage pieces for her birthday (as she truly appreciates them). And it is quite hard having to hand over the pressie when you almost decide to keep it for yourself. That's when I know she'll really like it.

And she does the exact same thing with me.

OldGoat · 10-02-2010 10:43AM

I intend to take a leasurley shopping day on Friday. Nothing in mind to buy, just a stroll around a few favourite places and a rummage through the shelves. Retro to see if there is anything left of the sale, Harlequin just incase they have managed to find the long elusive Boating Blazer I want, followed by a plesurable hour or two looking in the antique shops for some vintage cufflinks - perhaps I'll even go and drool over some expensive brouges.
A quiet lunch over a nice bottle of wine then home to start the preperations for a monster night out.
Life is good.

OldGoat · 10-02-2010 03:38PM

Good grief. 6 threads on the first page about mens hair. Spring must be in the air.

Fajitas! · 14-02-2010 10:57PM

I lost my favorite scarf last night. It had many near escapes over the years, but I always kept onto it, or at least got it back. And now it's gone. Some taxi driver had a rather nice present for his other half this morning

Twee. · 15-02-2010 12:17AM

Well my bank has informed me that my Maestro Laser card will be changing to a Visa Laser card, meaning I can shop online. Lord save us, as if I wasn't poor enough!

Sorry about your scarf Fajitas, twas a good one.

Creamy Goodness · 15-02-2010 12:21AM

Which bank is that Twee.

Please God let it be AIB.

I had a Visa/Debit card when I lived in the States and it was so good to be able to purchase online but using money you actually had and not using a credit card, not that I'm bad at using a credit card.

Twee. · 15-02-2010 12:28AM

Ulster Bank I'm afraid!

Yeah it'll be good, I couldn't trust myself with a credit card, so hopefully this will work. And I'll SAVE money by buying online

OldGoat · 15-02-2010 10:23AM

You'll have to buy something nice to pin your shiny new Mods badge too.

I think I have to open an Ulster Bank account now...

LadyMayBelle · 15-02-2010 09:25PM

Sad days for the student, I have been forced not to buy new things but did pick up a lovely Berschka denim mini in a rich green last week in the second hand shop..really quirky colour to go with my 'I'm being bold and all for primary colours because cream and peach shades that are out in shops don't suit me!' phase. Yay!

fonpokno · 15-02-2010 09:29PM

I've made a promise to myself that I will start wearing more dresses and skirts this year. I will. I am determined. But I have no money to buy them. I can't even afford Penneys clothes at this stage, I must start hunting through charity shops!

Find out what days they get stock in. There is one second hand shop in Galway which is great, the two ladies who run it are very (and in a lovely old lady way) very particular, and treat it like a boutique with pre loved clothes! They get their stock in on Tuesdays I think, so very worthwhile going to them. Saw them one day fitting an elderly gentleman out in a smart suit which must have been expensive originally as it looked like a perfect fit. They even alter if you ask nicely!

insert-gear · 15-02-2010 11:26PM

Whats the name of said charity shop?
