Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

I still wear band t-shirts. Today I'm wearing a Public Image Ltd t-shirt. I also have a couple of Carter USM t-shirts.
I also have a C64 tshirt, a sensible soccer tshirt, and a Linux tshirt.... mainly because I'm a sad nerd.
Burnley I’m liking you more and more each day!
Sensible Soccer is the best football game ever, especially the slight change of the payers names. Conte was a particular favourite of mine. . . .

Yeah it's jeans and a polo necked tshirt for me as casual wear, and when I get home the jeans come off and the jogging bottoms go on.
I'll admit I have recently got into wearing pyjamas around the house when it's cold. I've never known comfort like it.

I have a 49 year old mate who dresses like this, many have said something to him but he continues to dress like an 18 year old, he also carries a little bit of weight, so tight tops realllyyy are not the way forward. On one hand I think fair play, but then I see him and think you soppy ****.

Names that have 'ie' or 'y' or 'ey' added to them, usually people that you don't actually know to give this wanky, faux, 'matey' illusion.

I wear bootcut and I think I look rather nice in them. I like them to be stretchy and tight at the top so that it shows off my amazing bottom and muscular thighs. Then I like them to be a bit looser at the bottom and flare out a touch.

Side note but have you seen what some 80s/90s band tees sell for nowadays?
I think most of it's wishful thinking mate. Some of the prices are insane and quite frankly if you pay that sort of money for a t-shirt then you really have far much more money than sense.
If reaching a certain age means I’m not supposed to wear band shirts, football shirts, jeans etcThen basically I have 3 actual shirts and a couple of jumpers.
Aways been a jeans and T shirt guy. Don't own - and haven't since I was 19 - a suit and a tie. Don't have any shoes, just deck shoes and Dunlop sneakers. Love "longewear" for home use after I discovered it in the USA. Simply put, baggy, lightweight clothes that are lighter than a track suit yet more substantial than pjyamas. Comfortable as f***.
I've got one pair of black canvas strides and a few pairs of Dockers for more smart/casual affairs. One dark blue Celvin Klein Jacket I bought in the USA for peanuts but that's about as formal as I get.
I don't do formal - it's not me. This all brings back a memory. Back in the day the woman I was dating was a big cheese promoter in the music scene. She bought this flouncy dress for the Brits (when the Brits was a posh do) and assumed I would accompany her. I pointed out that I had absolutely 0 formal clothes and wasn't intending to to buy any either. She suggested hiring some, I said that it would be a waste of money and I would feel uncomfortable and awkward in them - there was also an element of compromising my values and that would make me uneasy.
Cue a massive row. She went mental (as was her thng). Her coup de grace was "Well you are not coming now, I'm going with somene else!" My reply was something like: "Good! Go with whoever you want to this poncey, over rated, ego fest. I didn't want to go in the first place and now you've settled the matter and made me a very very happyman. When you are at your shitty bash, I'll be down the pub with my mates having a great time. Bye."
And I did exactly that. Needless to say it was the begining of the end of our relationship.

Sounds awful. Unless you were going to do 'a Jarvis Cocker' at someone..
