    Sure Sligo is years behind everyone else-it'll be the height of "fashion" there in about 2 or 3 years don't worry.

    True.

    What starts in Tallaght, ends in Sligo. :D

    I suggest you try and see this film Pyjama Girls
    Description:


    Over the course of a year, Pyjama Girls follows the lives of a group of teenage girls who wear pyjamas as daywear, all day, every day. Focussing principally on teenagers Orla and Vicky, the film tracks the intense micro-dramas of teenage life in the close-knit community of the Basin Street Flats in Dublin's inner city.

    Wearing pyjamas in public first emerged on the streets of Dublin during the early years of the new century and since then it has become increasingly popular in the city’s most disadvantaged areas. It is a purely female phenomenon and it provokes surprisingly strong adverse reactions in the wider population. Pyjama wearing is now banned from schools and dole offices, it provokes furious radio debates and online rants, yet the girls who wear pyjamas as daywear in Dublin’s inner-city didn’t set out to grab attention.

    Pyjama Girls has as its focus the everyday lives of teenage girls - their likes and dislikes, their tastes and style, their friendships and fallouts and their challenges and personal journeys. In the booming, crashing soundscape of the flats, it's the boys who make themselves heard, shouting, smashing, and at night, screeching in stolen cars between the blocks. Meanwhile the girls express themselves through the visual language of young women – clothes and fashion. Their dress sense is read as a badge of social standing, yet while wearing pyjamas during the day links them together, in the film, it is this trend that provides a visual springboard from which to gain insight into their individual lives.

    I love the fact that they are banned from schools and dole offices, doesn't say much for their future prospects.

    I have horrible nightmares sometimes, where I'm out and about and then I look down and I'm wearing my PJs....

    I think it's some kind of anxiety dream, get them from time to time since I was really young. (not always PJs though, sometimes I'm in my bare feet or just socks and no shoes)

    I thought loads of people had the same dream :o

    It's awful, fills me with immense embarrassment even after I wake up... I could never go outside in PJs

    Does anyone else get this?

    Was in tesco's one night ,couldn't get asleep and as I was paying for my stuff ,I notice a skank in pajamas.
    There was blood stains around their arse region and it was near the god damnest rotten sight I've ever seen in public.

    Attention seeking. two words thats describes them.

    They are very aware walking into the shops that they are wearing their PJ's. They think it makes them "in fashion" with other scrote bags.

    Its the most stupid fcuking thing i've ever seen. I honestly wish these people where unable to procreate as they are a burden on society- not just with pj wearing but in general all they do is take from the system.

    the sad thing is the steriotype is pretty accurate in general- they are long term unemployed by choice- and all they do is spunge the system and never contribute anything but trouble to society.

    A fair amount are settled travellers.

    I wonder how long before a 2Pac brand of pyjamas comes out?

    I heard a supermarket chain- Tesco I think has banned women wearing PJs in their shops for hygiene reasons.

    I remember a headmaster at a Primary School in Belfast about three years ago sending out a letter to parents, in particular mothers, not to bring their children to school while wearing their pyjamas (the parents, not the kids) even if they just dropped them off by car and never got out, as he felt that this was giving the school a bad image.

    It's not just restricted to here though. I remember being out in Brisbane a couple of years ago getting some snacks in a petrol station when in the queue in front of me was a woman dressed in her pyjamas (purple coloured with little teddy bears patterned) paying for her fuel! Then again, Brisbane is pretty much Bogan* Central in Australia so maybe I shouldn't be that shocked to see such fashion go around the world.

    Just as a point, I don't mind people going out in their pyjamas when its an emergency or something unscheduled that needs attention, but when they start going out wearing them regularly, that's a point of note. As an example, I'd been sick for a few days recently, went a couple of times to a local shop that's near me, threw on a pair of jeans and wore a duffel coats with zip right up to cover my night clothes. No one's none the wiser and takes less than a minute to do.

    I seen this black lad walking along in pyjamas with a box of cheerios once. He stopped outside this house to smoke a fag and someone threw a bag full of drugs out the window :confused:


    me too!

    Dirty fúckers. Do they not realize how much they sweat and excrete toxins during the night. Just cause you don't wake up in puddle don't mean you ain't stinking up the shít you're sleeping in.

    There's a general misconception that movement in any direction is progression. Don't know why anyone would applaud the lazy fúcks for their so called rebellion against the norm.

    I've never seen anybody wear pyjamas outside the house.

    Take a spin over to Cranmore/24 Esso on Pearse Road.

    scum of the earth, their voices hurt my ears, their smell offends my nostrils and their appearance relay hurts my eyes, I try hold my breath if they are stood close when out shopping as dont want to be breathing the same air as them. they should be made have a wash and go on a diet or let me put them down :D:D:D

    This is a true story, I jumped on the bus from town on my way back to glasnevin and took a seat downstairs because it was late and the bus was practically empty. The bus driver came up on the intercom and announced that the next stop was our last stop, which was quite sh*te because I think we were only just in Phibsborough. I was like, grand, it's not that much of a walk from here for me but when I was just about to hop off this lad came down the stairs like a pinball being shot around the corner. Let me paint the scene here, the lad was 40ish with a dark grey stumble, rough face, tatoos on his hands and neck, he was wearing blue pyjamas with little pink pigs on them, the pajamas were matching top and bottom. Over that he wore a black leather motorcycle jacket with a massive gold chain, he wore black leather shoes (work shoes).
    The bus driver was opening up his door to let everyone out when he saw this c*nt come blasting down the stairs, the driver jumped back into his little glass cage. The lad was real p*ssed off, starting smacking the glass saying he paid for a ticket to ballymun and that the driver never told him that there would be a surprise stop and in fairness he was right but the way he got his argument was just crazy, saying that he was going to rape the bus driver and when the bus driver said he's going to ring the gards, the lad said he'd rape the gards as well. As he was ramming the glass cage he said at one point that he was going to sh*t in the bus driver's son's mouth.

    This thread should be changed to The Pyjama cunt is out of control.
    I blame the parents.

    If you think about it all - animals walk around naked for their entire lives.

    It's the next logical step for us humans I reckon.

    I saw a woman in one of these in the supermarket yesterday. These people are just socially retarded I guess. Some supermarkets have a policy against, I think Tesco do.

    Some Tesco's are beside hospitals so no matter who you throw out they just play the I'm sick card.

    Never seen anything like Finglas Tesco, I thought it was a hen party all dressed up together for the laugh, no, just the uniform after 6 pm and until 9am.
