RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted May 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2018 Since you ask - no. Men’s legs should be concealed except on the sports field, the beach or in their own backyard. Women’s legs, however, are another matter entirely...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific231G Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) It's the glasses. You'll have to decide which one is the mild-mannered reporter and which one is the super hero. While I could accept the "man of steel" with X-Ray vision, super-strength, ability to leap tall buildings at a single bound and even to fly somewhat faster than the speed of light, the concept of a "mild-mannered newspaper reporter", especially on a national daily based in NYC always strained my credibility beyond breaking point Edited May 30, 2018 by Pacific231G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no intention of moving on, thankyou. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To avoid being left out, Ian, I will mention your bits of knotted string dangling out of the bottom of your trousers, do you feel better now? As a note to others I have not seen Ian's knotted string and as with others, I have no wish to. NB. This is not a moan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) good to see all the keyboard warriors having a moan about shorts, and know one mentioned it to me in shorts on the weekend. many should move on and find something else to moan about Ian G No, I haven't heard one moan in this thread. At the show I did hear a few folk mention (not moan) about the humidity in the hall at the weekend usually followed with the proviso, "wish I'd worn my shorts" and know of at least one exhibitor that returned to his hotel room to "slip into something more comfortable". Advantage to Railex and Scaleforum with the exhibitors hotel being in the car park. The British and their predilection of discussing the weather and its effects. Next we'll be blaming the organisers for not arranging a dull day. If you really want a moan have a listen to Freddie.

Expected ratio of visitors/exhibitors donning shorts as opposed to conventional below the belt attire? The probability of a knobbly knees competition.
