Let us 'go out to play!'

[barbedwire]

I think Glen has reached a new personal nadir with his Centipede presentations today.

Not once, not twice, but yais indeed thrice has he said that you can 'go out to play' in these coats.

Now, um - I haven't 'been out to play' since I was in Top Class at Primary School - whence I would run round like a loon with a bag of Quavers (there are of course, many many other reputable brands of maize and potato based comestibles available). Indeed, the last time I did so I think was in 1989.

Plus, if I was - at the age of almost 31 to 'go out to play' would I do it in a reversible seam detail mac, with detachable hood and drawstring waist in violet? No. No, Glen - I would not. I would put on my PVC pac-a-mac and souwester, with my Betty Boop pantalon underneath and run...run like the wind lest Stuart (the young lad I had a 'thing' for when I was aged 10) should wish to find me for a game of kiss chase...

Glen love, catch yourself on...

I've said this before but his scripts are straight out of the pages of the teen mags I used to read many moons ago....and when I think of "going out to play" a sensible raincoat isn't the first thing that springs to mind. I also wish the silly sod would get a grip and realise that his audience are by and large are grown up women, who have tuned in because they want to buy an item of clothing, or a pair of shoes. They want to see what it looks like on, .....over to the presenters/ models, see what colours (not colourways) and sizes are available, oh, and the price. We don't need you to tell us what's "on trend" at the moment...we don't care, that we can cinch it in with a belt...yup we can probably work that our for ourselves!

 

[Mrs James]

i know what you mean...but i have found my Kim'n'co geranium jumpsuit super for playing leap-frog in!!

give him time and he'll be telling us to sew our gloves on a strng so we don't lose them!

 

[ERICS MUM]

I've done that with my mittens.

 

[Bea Frugal]

Did he say what you'd be playing and what you should wear under your mac? Would it involve swings or swingers? Time for Glen to go and play with his p45 perhaps. Just can't watch him.

 

[silversequin]

I'm wating for him to instruct us how to do up a button or fasten a zip! And why does he talk so fast? is it to stop him actually mentally processing the rubbish he speaks and then slinking off the set in total shame?
Buttoning instuctions might go like this: "well we have a really on trend trimming here called a button its got a kinda round vibe going on and will suit you even if you are a lady of age just grab the edge and ease it thru the stylish gap in the garment as you will soon be seeing all the top designers are putting gaps just like this in their autumn\winter collection dress it up dress it down and you will be on trend if you want to be playful you could leave some buttons undone,easy once you know how"

I don't so much mind him telling me something is trendy (although I wish he'd stop with this on-trend/fashion-forward (which usually means quite the opposite!) but you're absolutely right - he sounds like My Guy Magazine circa 1981!

If you change your mind and want to "go out and play", then "knock for me" when I've had me tea............

Only if we can we play elastics???

 

[BusyMum]

well I could've done with Glenny-poos this morning - there I was in me jeans, and bra, wondering, as I needed to go out and play in the aisles at Morrisons, just what to put with them...vest or no vest...sunny but a bit windy out there - decided vest was a "yes" but then what to put over it, oh my, plain teeshirt, or multicoloured one to stop me looking pale and interesting...with collar or without - how's a girl to know which way to jump without her own personal fashionista telling her what's on trend today...my God I don't know how I got there and back without having a nervous breakdown...:doh:

I shall. Make sure you eat all your peas. Otherwise you can't have your toffees after.
