Dress Code

Randall Flagg

Do coppers not have fancy gear for events? You should just wear that.

I didn't know Interval was a yank.

iSparky

Maybe he is a wannabe yank, like Jedward.

Crustanoid

Does he say 'dude' too? I hate it when English people say dude. That fella Urbanned was the worse for that kind of crap, always calling me a douchebag; you have to be some right kind of bender to think that calling somebody a douchebag is an acceptable way for a British adult man to behave - American highschool jock, yes, 19yo British ping-pong reject, no.

iSparky

We should have legal rights to beat the living shit out of people who use the words, "dude", "douche" or "douchebag"

There was a new guy in work recently who kept calling me, "dude." I told him politely to never call me "dude" again and for some odd reason he initially thought I was joking, which I clearly was not. So I told him not to laugh and again told him to never call me dude, ever. I was not as polite the second time around, what a cunt.

Interval Level

I'm not. But we use the word interchangably here. Being a commonwealth country where branded clothes are usually American names.

I personally refer to trousers as thinner and lighter usually worn to work. Whereas pants as heavier, thicker variety of trousers.

So chinos are thick then? Perhaps it's because I don't watch Gok Wan that I've never heard of chinos.

Wtf are chinos? Just say trousers!

Team Brian GB

Jippy might be able to lend you a jacket.

Team Brian GB

Seriously, why do people persist with these sort of threads?


Did you not consider asking the person who sent you the invitation what you ought to wear instead of putting the question to the masses on the internet?

TheReligion

There are some miserable bastards on the Caf.

And wannabe comedians too who unfortunately need a new joke book

Jippy

I can't help on the chino front though am afraid.

iSparky

Can anyone help on the chino front?

TheReligion

Not sure what size you guys are?

Jippy's jacket might be lined with MDMA though which is a concern

iSparky

We need someone, anyone to offer a pair of chinos. If Jippy has MDMA lining his jacket then its a bonus, not a concern.

TheReligion

I already have some to be honest, but if I can borrow a pair it doesn't matter if I soil myself during the course of the evenings events.

ciderman9000000

Wannabe comedians, yeah.

iSparky

You already have some MDMA? So you are complaining of getting a jacket lined with MDMA? You greedy bastard!

Tyy Dyyy

Go dressed as a pig....

Jippy

Whatever I bought out of that bloke's BMW on Albert Embankment, I'm pretty sure in hindsight that it was MDMA-free...probably rat poison or something grim.

TheReligion

Stick your nose out Pinnochio. It is a joke between Jippy and I

TheReligion

I think it would go down well in your control room.

To a wedding reception? Don't be daft. I am not Irish.

iSparky

Im sure one or two of them would like some MDMA for sure.

Tyy Dyyy

I was only on about the convenience factor, you could have stayed in your work clothes, you are a pig after all.

Randall Flagg

Racist!!

Do you go in extra hard with the batton when you come across an Irish lad?

TheReligion

Yes and I was bullied at school.

That sounds sooooo wrong....

Randall Flagg

Its exactly how I meant it

Tyy Dyyy

Now that I don't like to hear. Sorry about that man, nobody should be bullied, not even future bent coppers, who pick on the Irish.

TheReligion

You vile creature

Don't worry, I wasn't really.

Not sure where you get bent from though and Irish picker on'er

Levo

Aren't chino's what you wear to audition for the Wanted?

Tyy Dyyy

Bent copper? You're bound to have heard that saying before, and you singled out Irish people a few posts above.

TheReligion

I have heard of in but I am no Don Beach.

I love the Irish.

Eugenius

Chinos, shirt and a blazer. Perhaps a tie and pocket square too.

Casual enough and you won't look underdressed in any event.

Tyy Dyyy

Who or what is Don Beach?

Liam147

You seem to say this a lot, then get seemingly irate over trivial matters.

Trousers nowadays seem to specify those things you wore on your legs to school when you were a kid, or what you wear in the office now.

Also, if you were going out somewhere with a mate, but weren't sure what 'trousers' to wear, how would you word that question? "What trousers are you wearing?" To modern society sounds like you are going to wear trousers. Not jeans, not chinos, trousers. "What will you wear on your legs?" just sounds creepy.
But they're not trousers! As an alternative to jeans I wear black chinos regularly, but I wouldn't refer to them as trousers. As I said, trousers nowadays seems to refer to a specific type of 'legwear'.

TheReligion

I am not really into mixing and matching blazers and such as single entities

Wouldn't know where to start?

The irony

ciderman9000000

That's the gayest post ever.

Why would I have to ask a mate, "What trousers are you wearing?"? In the unlikely even that I ever do have to ask a mate what trrousers he's wearing then that's exactly how I'd phrase the question, since I can't think of anything gayer than asking your mate, "Hey, shall we wear our chinos?". Chinos sounds like a fucking Greek hairdresser.

Smores

Chino's are an odd entity, unless your playing golf or go to a preppy american ivy league school then you run the huge risk of looking like a massive cunt. The indie kids walking around now in bright coloured chinos do my head in. It's as if the world is being taken over by franky cocozza clones. Kill them all I say

Liam147

A friend of mine on facebook has just made a very similar point that I agree totally with. I don't wear coloured chinos. I have a black pair (which I am actually going to go to the driving range in) and a very dark blue pair. Coloured ones seem to be worn solely by 15-16 year olds wearing vans and those stupid fucking caps, all trying to dress identically to the pop sensation they claim to hate - Justin Bieber.
