Conversation This Week, Part 1
April 29, 2006
Colleague 1 (to me, about similarly-dressed Colleague 2): “Do you two go to the same tailor?”
Me: “We do. Actually, I model myself on Colleague 2.”
Colleague 1: “You look exactly alike. Look at you – stripey shirts, tweed jackets.”
Me: “Tweed nothing, this is corduroy.”
Colleague 1: “That’s even worse.”
Me: “Listen my friend, coduroy is where it’s at these days.”
Colleague 1: “Right, like I’d take wardrobe tips from you.”
Me: “Suit yourself, I’m telling you – it’s the fleece of the Naughties.”
(I consider renaming this website “Fleece of the Naughties”.)
Also, if you are linking here, can you should change your links sometime soon to http://www.thisisthis.org – that’s all I’m saying. Plans.

Hmmm… at least it’s not a ‘funky’ t-shirt, brand name trainers and and those jeans you buy new already worn in. That’s my male colleagues collective wardrobe. The “I work in advertising and use words like funky because I’m in my forties and I’m trying desperately to be cool wardrobe.” Corderoy and tweed have guts.
Thanks tui – I work in a similar industry and I know the type too well.
Also Ed – You made the mistake of posting the first thing that came into your head and it sounded much ruder that you probably meant it to. Sorry dawg, I had to delete it – still dig you though.
Also, send me a mail again. I got a new computer and lost all my addresses.
No problem, if it appeared rude, it certainly was NOT intentional! I was just saying that making Bonnie laugh is a GOOD thing;)
SOrry to you AND Bonnie! I wouldn’t intentionally be rude to either of you!
Oh, you were talking about the Fleece of the naighties thignm. Ack. Yeah, that was classless, sorry ’bout that. Thank you for practicing the restraint I should have.
