"What shall I wear?" - Lads' thread
Discussion
:shout: [b]BLACK TIE[/b] and pie :shout:
It's a formal do, lads, so dust off/hire that dinner jacket, shiny shoes and frilly shirt! Kilts are permitted also, but expect a lot of sightseers ;)
Lounge suits and other shit like that will only result in personal embarrassment and an invitation to dine at McDonalds :hehe:
It's a special night, and fantastic fun, so make an effort!

Hold on there...
Women wear a gown of some description, usually.
Thats one bloody garment! Find it, put it on, done!
We have to find
Suit
Tie
Shirt
Socks
Shoes
Waistcoat/Cummerbund
Cufflinks
Then go through the rigmarall of dressing, losing a cufflink, finding it again. Trying to remember how to tie a bow tie since last november etc...

Nothing else mind
Except a big grin.
and no snidy comments about it being pre-tied. I have arthritic hands you know
(no you dont you lying bastard - just bleedin' lazy)
ps I'm not a lentilist any more - I've defected to the 'radish' cause

Agree with Herr Plotloss...blokes must try to look individual, but conform. HOW do you do that? eh?
It's like trying not to answer "What's your weakest trait" with "I'm a perfectionist" (stolen from interview thread
)
So, you have to wear;
...black dinner jacket
black trousers (with black line down side)
black bow tie
white shirt
black shiny shoes....
but you have to be original in doing it! I think that's a feat of the highest accord achieving something so oxymoronic (good word!).
So, how do you combat this!? Easy....
pink cravat! (I do have a picture of me wearing one, but there's about as much chance of that getting posted as there is of Shady selling me his V8 for a tenner)
