Are you supposed to match the colour of your socks with your pants or your shoes when dressing up?

Socks-to-pants, shoes-to-belt.

5) No clip-on ties if over the age of 12.

Hey, they make pretty good-looking ties these days! :p I’ve got a couple that, instead of a clip, have an adjustable strap that goes around your neck, so they actually “sit” exactly like a real tie.
 
Is it really that hard for people to learn how to tie a tie? I know three different styles.
 
Just a quick question. Can I set up an itunes account to download movies from them even though there is no movie downloads available from the Irish page? Or is there a different thrust worthy site where I can download movies. They'd have to be dvd quality at least because I was hoping to plug this into my TV and have the films shown on that.

And yes it is hard to tie ties! I had a tie for five years of school and I dont think I ever completely losened it, I just slide it down enough to get it off.

BTW thanks for any replys.

I almost don't want to. 3/4 times that I have worn a tie was to a funeral. Untill recentley only had a plain black tie in my wardrobe.

Ties are evil.

I can tie a tie in the pitch dark. While drunk. In 30 seconds. And have it look good. It's just not that hard.

Agreed. Completely.

Exactly! The only time I redo my tie is if I decide the length is off by like a half inch.

You do it enough and the next thing you know you are doing it in the dark, while wandering around looking for the stuff you need to take with you, and when you finish you give it a half second inspection just to be sure. I spend more time on my hair, and those who have seen pictures of me know that isn't much.

if you tuck in your shirt, you must have a belt. No exceptions.

I've never understood this. If I'm in a situation where I'm supposed to tuck my shirt in, fine, but I'm not going to strap a buckle to my waist if my pants aren't falling down.

Fashion can't always be approached from the point of view of practicality alone. Otherwise lets face it, we'd all be walking around in sweatpants.
 
Or nothing! :scared:

I have about 5 pairs of navy socks, 3 pairs of black socks, and 5 or 6 pairs of one of each. Never can seem to sort them correctly from the dryer, but they're always wrong by the time I get to work. . . .
 
I'm never satisfied with my ties... they're always slightly asymmetrical and need a little tweaking to get right... maybe I'm just pulling too tight.

Fashion sucks. Sweatpants aren't the most convenient either. Nothing beats a good jumpsuit... :lol:

It's not just about the practicality, otherwise I wouldn't be tucking my shirt in to begin with. I just don't see what the big deal is with a lack of a belt.
 
Sometimes there's an element of OCD about underwear as well. I always wear black or blue socks, never ever white and my bra & knickers must match.

Like they say, you never know when you're going to be run over by a bus...

Incidentally, white socks with dark trousers is uberfail. Never, ever do it. And any trousers must at least cover part of your shoes, there's nothing nice about half-masts.

It's weird how "the breasted" get along with that topic. There doesn't seem to be any consensus on it at all, even amongst groups of like-for-like women.

And yes, I have had an open group conversation on it. It's pretty funny watching women debate a topic like that :dopey:
 
Well, there is a picture in existence...it was a few years ago when I was much slimmer.

NSFW.
 
Here's a good question:

Why do batteries always die at the most inopportune moment!?!?!?! Like during school, my 7th period teacher would let us listen to music in class if we were doing our work. Well I always used my music phone. One morning I noticed the battery was at 2/3 bars. It was a long stressful day and I was craving some music to relieve some of this stress... So when I popped in the headset and started my favoret song, Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi, the battery died. I was P-O'ed at that moment.

But as I said, why do they die when you REALLY need them?
 
They don't. It just seems like it.
 
For the same reason people claim that it seems to always be 9:11 when they look at the clock: you notice things more often when there’s a significance attached to them.

It's underwear. You're not supposed to see it. If you can't see it, it doesn't matter if your bra and knickers are different colors. And if that's all your wearing, you're either alone in the room or it's going to eventually come off, anyway. My wife only wears matching sets for special occassions. ;)
