Title: 'A Game of Four Tailors'
Post by: FierceKitty on 31 December 2012, 06:41:51 AM
I have no idea what to write here; it just seemed a good title for a thread.

Well, since the public image of wargamers is fat, badly clothed Nerds in 'obscure band' t-shirts, which we unfairly inherited off the roll players, should we not post the elegant items of gentleman's attire we don to trounce our opponents?
I'm a great fan of the blue jeans, tshirt with witty slogan but also like a nice shirt, and Fez.

Good idea Lemmey.

As one of the few gamers not into heavy metal, my normal attire for a club night regardless of the weather is canvas baggy shorts, rugby shirt and sunglasses perched on head!

Elasticated joggers for me - to contain the middle-age spread. Disreputable trainers and, since a major part of my diet is blood-thinners, a sloppy sweater.  :-B

I get paid a retainer by three very well known 'companies'.......NOT to wear their clothes...As whatever I put on, I still look like a sack of poop tied in the middle with a piece of string. ;) :D

A true Genetleman should not be seen without his tweeds  :D

Genetleman.... Well, a genet is a sort of small carnivorous mammal (or are we talking about Jean Genet, a rather unpleasant French playwrite?), and "leman" is a long-obsolete word for a lover, but what they have to do with tweeds eludes me.

Meerkats make the most adorable pets, btw, if you're ever offered one.

Though if you disagree we can post a few defiant remarks every day, of course.

You do realise that a "brigadier" in the French cavalry was actually a corporal? I've been looking for a transfer to the Luxembourg navy ever since I found out.  :o

I once met the Swiss Admiral of the fleet, lovely chap, got to run three speed boats on anti-smuggling operations!

What were they smuggling - fondue sets, alpenhorns, cuckoo clocks?  :D

Anyone know a good tailor in the Leighton Buzzard area, my work trousers have developed an unfortunate hole!   :o
Title: Re: 'A Game of Four Tailors'
Post by: Techno on 05 March 2013, 10:12:52 AM
Just a single hole Will ?
The jeans I've got on today have more than half a dozen.
Teach me to be a tad more careful  with battery acid. :'( :'( :-[
