I guess the guys can look at it as a kilt of sorts.
it should be socially acceptable for a man to wear a skirt. would make a lot of sense. except for the weeing bit maybe.
I didn’t miss you ONE BIT.
i’ll take that as a I MISSED YOU A LOT
i was doing nudey swimming
Janey macaroni!
TMI.
welcome back Brother
Hope life is being kind
that’s sweet. thank you, J
yes, very kind. was adventuring, nothing bad
Good
you’ve gone a lovely colour
Where on earth have you BEEN?
(did you run off with Charger for a time?)
where HAVEN’T i been, mildred?
charger not back yet – he was knocking around as ‘david’ (?) last i saw
at least he was articulate as Salmon
I’m thrilled you’re back.
I’ve missed your stalking of Andy. (So has she but she’d never admit it)
i like to think of it as energetic worship with just a small bit of stalking
Welcome back Brother B.
Hope you had a wonderful adventure.
thanks, lush
yes, i did. it was like a victorian era grand tour.
Where did you go?
it’s manky in fairness,
Don’t like that pocket detailing at all
looks very girl guidy of old
Golly. Makes no sense on quite a few levels!
What do the future wearers think, I wonder.
Yeah, blue. The official colour of the State.
also the main colour of its principal shareholder.
And the sky they all fly in……
Wasn’t it the colour of the State at one stage? Hibernian blue or summink? There’s something in my head about it but I can’t be bothered using my mad google skillz.
st patrick’s blue (fittingly enough) is the official colour of Ireland – not the state, though. something to do with the Order of St Patrick. i’ll be seeing a protestant friend later. i’ll ask him.
St Patrick’s blue. The actual shade of blue can vary but it very much remains the official colour of the State.
i think you’ll find you’re a full 60 seconds too late with that contribution, de kloot
Tis’ the mobile app, Bruv…. Slow as sh!te sometimes…
actually, seeing as it’s you….i googled:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_blue
Thanking you. I wish I could retain more than a half-arsed memory of the information I ingest.
Pockets are crooked and at a different levels.
“The new uniform design will launch in Spring 2019 and will be worn by all ground agents and cabin crew” – the lads won’t like that at all.
i’d prefer something with pleats – better facilitates the male thigh, i think
but if i had to wear that one, i’d wear it
wouldn’t be so keen on the jacket, just because it’s ugly
Should have offered a young Irish designer the opportunity, possibly with some sort of competition. Louise Kennedy was down with it in 1998 along with John rocha, riverdance and Barry Egan. Things have moved on. If she was a band she’d be the Corrs
Soz, Barry Egan was never down with it. I’ll go with pierce Brosnan
That’s not the new uniform. The blue number was the Aer Lingus uniform for about 6 months back in the late 80’s, possibly 1989.
New uniform won’t be seen by anyone outside of the designer and company management until next year.
now that is exciting
I felt if you teamed up the visor with the blue jacket you’d have a Rhythm Nation V Margaret Thatcher thing going on. Strong look.
So that will be the girls dressing like their grannys again but what about the men? Most male trolley dollies are queens so they’ll not be happy as an afterthought for a new look. And what about those who identify as non binary or genderqueer eh?
Trousers for everyone I think.
She’s a designer. Whether its ‘fashion’ is debatable.
Highly.
