Football shirts are particularly bad for it. Adidas for example, a few seasons ago Large was Large, XL was a bit bigger. Now XL is just a longer version of large, good for tall skinny folk, but no extra belly space, and XXL is a cape. That's not me getting bigger, coz the old shirt still fits the same. Macron are worse still, getting the average Scotsman into an XL is like getting an apple into a condom, I'd imagine 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m between a medium and a large in our current Puma kits, tried on an old Errea top I had that was a 2XL and I could barely get it on. Different suppliers I know, but f**k knows who they were basing the sizing on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I bought a 2XL 1994 Cameroon World Cup shirt twenty-odd years ago. It's been hanging in the wardrobe ever since; if I ever forced it on, I'm pretty sure I'd tear the stitching. I think the idea is that, if you're buying sports equipment, why would you be a fatty? There are also plenty of manufacturers who assume that people grow wider, but not taller. The number of times I've not bought a T-shirt because their default length is too short for me, and going up to 6XL would just leave me with long, dangling sides and the underside of my gut airing out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Having a “cable TV” provider that constantly breaks into programming with “weather alerts” that you can’t disable. The problem is the geographic area they do this for makes 90% of the warnings irrelevant to me, and for that 10% I have other means of being warned. It’s freaking Texas, in the spring and summer these alerts happen every two to three days! Let my programming be! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is petty tbf. I see that’s another sign yet to be updated as well. None of the surrounding roads including the motorways have yet to update signage to The Queensferry Crossing. Seething does not come close. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did, but the guy explained there had been an error in the sizing and they'd had to relabel the shirts. He asked what size I usually was and said that would be roughly a seven XL, which he could sell for £25.00. I told him I'd been insulted in better places for less than that. I took my custom elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Went for a long walk round Aberdeen yesterday and if I'd been Michael Douglas' character in Falling Down, the body count would've been very high. First up was the jakey in Greggs who dropped his can of jakey lager on the floor, proceeded to pick up a few things, walk out the door without paying, then sit down outside against the window and start enjoying his pilfered goods. Couldn't really blame the staff for not getting involved, wasn't like they could resell the stuff after jakey hands had touched it and they don't get paid enough to deal with that shite. Next was the jakey with his jakey dog on Nelson St who when approaching a group of 3 teenagers playing a bit of keepy up in the street shouted at them for having the temerity to play football because his clearly shitely trained jakey dog was going mental because there was a ball being kicked around. 'Go and not kick your football until I'm past with my dog' The kids were quite polite and said they didn't see him coming and he went off on one at them. Finally was getting on the bus when there were about 20 free seats being taken up by jackets, bags etc and not a single person moved anything to offer a seat. I'm sure Aberdeen is not alone in this but it appears increasingly that people are c***s 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get on a bus or tram here everyone sits on the seat nearest the aisle rather than sitting at the window- if you then ask them to move so you can sit at a window they generally don't or move their legs a little bit. I make sure that I bang into them to discourage that sort of thing in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 48 minutes ago, Melanius Mullarkay said: What's it saying? We have a similar problem, but it's even when our neighbours are in. If the dog is in the back garden, which meets our back garden on a long fence, the mutt seems to resent the intrusion of any bird, or even any neighbours being in their own gardens. The owners rarely if ever tell the wee diddy to shut it's pus. What I can't understand is why the damn thing keeps shouting "Ralph, Ralph! There's no "Ralph" around here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
