    Worst part is the t shirt is manky. I wouldn't wear it under a jumper in case I got knocked down and someone in the ambulance got to see it.

    I liked it :(

    If you’re wearing a t-shirt in your late 20’s or later and it isn’t being used as a garment for exercise then you might want to consider getting some sartorial advice.

    T-shirt wearers would probably suggest that you get a colonic irrigation stat, to clear out the backlog.

    I wear a t-shirt every day of the week, summer to winter. You need to HTFU.
    So not in the Spring, then?

    People who judge people based on the clothes they were deserve themselves and their limited perspective on life. May they carry on with their miserable tunnel vision.

    The jumper is E800. AND it's got a rip in it!

    I wear t-shirts quite a bit, no slogans though.
    I also wear shorts when I'm not in work. This applies to Winter as well.

    What about the spasmo's that wear stupid floppy hats regardless of tenperature? I seen one today and that sudden feel of absolute hatred that everyone gets when they see these twats, washed over me until he had passed with his stupid hat.

    "Spasmos" - nice.

    I'd rather them than you to be fair.

    Tshirts, jeans and a hoodie if I will be outside. All day, everyday. For decades at this point.

    I feel like I am wearing a big bird costume if I am forced to wear anything else.

    I was back in Ireland a number of weeks ago to vote in the general election. I was taking a walk through town on the Saturday when I spotted a guy of about my own vintage wearing a t-shirt that said, “If found then please return to the pub”. This t-shirt was being used to house an enormous bloated stomach. His bloodshot and glassy eyes, terrible complexion, oversized red nose all showed that he already spent far more time in the pub than was healthy for him. I couldn’t help but think that the t-shirt was a silent cry for help.

    Sadly Aongus, not everyone has your compassion. The world would be a better place for all of us if they had.

    Surprised the poster didn't speak to him and advised him to sort his life out.

    Was out for a walk yesterday in St Anne's Park Raheny. There were a load of young fellas playing pitch and putt. All wearing shorts and tee shirts. I thought it was an hilarious sight. I was walking past in a ski jacket. It was warm in the sunshine, but very cold in the shade

    That's my uniform too. If it gets above 20 degrees, it's board/cargo shorts and singlets.

    You'd have to wear mouldy khaks to distract them.

    If you’re wearing a t-shirt in your late 20’s or later and it isn’t being used as a garment for exercise then you might want to consider getting some sartorial advice. When you see a man in his late 20’s/30’s wearing a t-shirt with a band name on it – think Metallica, AC/DC and the like – then you have to feel sorry for them. However nothing is as bad as the sight of a man of that age wearing a t-shirt with a slogan or phrase on it. It’s almost like they are using the t-shirt in place of having a personality.

    Halfway through reading this I joked tonmyself it was yourself Angus. Got to the end and realised it actually was in fact you and felt a wave of despair.

    You know you can get t-shirts that don't have slogans on them.

    And if you're wearing t-shirts for exercising, best of luck to your nipples.

    Interesting. You wouldn't don a nice Ralph Loren Polo shirt on a boating trip with some chums?

    They go fabulous with a sweater lightly knotted around ones shoulders, laughing your head off with a nice glass of white wine.

    He probably did, he's not the kind who'd crow about a good deed like a lesser individual.

    So not in the Spring, then?

    Wife beater for Spring.

    A wife beater is for life, not just for spring.

    Don't forget the chinos with cuffs and boat shoes with no sox.

    Strictly black band tshirts, faded from age.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭drake70


    Was wearing an AC/DC t-shirt in the supermarket yesterday. Security guard wanted to know where my time machine was :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Dya know what's worse? The Canada Goose jacket wearers.
    It's Ireland, it's not exactly the south face of Everest with a snow storm impeding you.

    Hells bells, that was a touch too much. I hope you didn't let him walk all over you.

    Something I miss about Canada... being able to wear what ever the hell you want without people commenting on it. Although, I care a lot less these days what people think.

    Am currently wearing a plain white tee OP, and a pair of jeans, but will be wearing a hoodie over it later. Hope this does not offend you too much.

    Another fews weeks, the jeans will be replaced by cargo shorts. Hope this really doesn't push you over the edge.

    Personally I wouldn't be caught dead in a Volkmar Arnulf suit, different stokes Aongus, I have no wish to appear like a Potsdam pimp.

    I certainly would never be so vulgar as to admonish another for wearing such a pretentious item of overpriced clothing.
