HonaloochieB Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The other day I saw a young fellow wearing gold-coloured plimsoles.Bold as you like.God help us if there's a war, that's all I can say.

HonaloochieB Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 On the same day I noticed a young woman smoking while walking down the street. Shameless.In my day she'd have been given a good ticking off by a rozzer.Country's going to the dogs.

HonaloochieB Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Brogues, don't make me laugh!The youth of today are content to wear plimsoles all the time.Even in church.

david_carnell Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm sorry, we've clearly not met.I draw the line at cravat (I'm not that brave....yet) but have a decent line in brogues and waistcoats.Do I qualify as "youth" though at a rapidly ageing 25?

HonaloochieB Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 DC, 25 year olds qualify as 'bits of kids'.No offence. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3721-the-old-fogies-thread/#findComment-116799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee quinnie Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Mr Wee Quinnie has just been chatting to our 83 yr old next door neighbour, and said to her in a patronising way:"We saw Lily Allen up in town a coupla nights back. Do you know who she is..."To which our neighbour shot back with "Pink or brunette?". Then proceeded to fill MR WQ in on the latest news on Madonna getting divorced etc., etc....

HonaloochieB Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 This morning a chit of a girl sitting opposite me on the bus was applying that black stuff they put round their eyelashes.She was using a thin pointed brush affair to administer it. Concerned I told her that if the bus hit a pothole she could have her eye out.What did i get for my trouble? A curt f@ck off, that's what I got for my trouble.I don't know.

Guest Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The grown men are worse. Do they stand up respectfully when a woman enters the room? Do they stand back to let you get on the train safely in your kitten heels? Do they offer you their seat with a cheerful smile and ready 'please, take mine'? Do they buggery.

SteveT Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I remember when I was a lad the word gay was used in church, now as like as not, you would be referring to the vicar.Faggots were horrible meat balls with lots of gristley bits.Dykes kept the animals in or the flood water out.Plate, was something you got florins on and passed to the vicar, now it's a sexually deviant pastime for lucky young ba stards who have yet to pay their dues I'll be bound.

Guest Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Didn't have a cervix back then: you had a *hushed tone* "front bottom". That and *equally hushed tone, this time with Les Dawson-style gurning* "women's trouble" covered all that needed to be said on the matter.
