MBY Addict on Tube

[EME]

Every morning I get in 'The Hole' also known as London Underground. Heads down , everyone reads 'The Metro' /'Sun'/'FT' etc.

This morning cheery chappy engrossed in this month's MBY...quality of traveller definitely improving!!!

Thinks, is this man a Forum member too? Were you on the northbound Northern line from Waterloo ....blue/white checked shirt/ Purple tie with spots ...???

...I wanna boat please..

Re: Call the Fashion Police!

Blue checked shirt? Purple tie with spots? Travelling on public transport? Surely no MBY reader would perpetrate such a shocking collection of crimes?

 

[EME]

I'm amazed HLB didn't think of it first!

Just think :-

1) volume sale ( have to order at least 4 in case of stains)
2) High Price -= High Margin ( cos all Lundunners filthy rich)


and next week he can work on the matching cufflinks

...I wanna boat please..

Re: Il s\'accuse!

So it must be one of the writers eh? Living in North London. Hm.

 

[EME]

Call the Fashion Police!

No......that's an Italian perspective .Real reasons are

1) Fashion sense proves he's obviously not married (clear signal to all single women) and

2) A Scot ( high propensity to saving money and also so 'hungover' couldn't possibly jump in car this morning)..

Now you know why Sherlock Holmes was a Brit

Re: A rebuttal

Not so fast, Watson. If he was travelling north on the Northern line from Waterloo this morning, it would appear that he probably arrived at Waterloo from the Home Counties by overland and was heading for his place of work. Not even the MBY staff are stupid enough to try and get from Waterloo to KRT by tube.

Besides, you should know that the MBY team don't have a tie between them...they have to order a rental from Divisional Services if the occasion demands.

Re: \'pon my word!

Silly me - and the bit about the "reading" concludes this line of enquiry.

Re: Il s\'accuse!

TCM - He has a point.

Some other clues as to why not one of them.

a) This bloke obviously found the articles he was reading interesting
b) He awsn't using a ruler underneath the typing
c) he didn't once have to resort to a dictionary and
d) He wasn't just looking at pictures (as far as I could tell)

Hecould also have come from further South on Northern line

Re: Tossa de Mar

He must have looking at it for fashion ideas.

Unfortunately, I failed to anchor at "Tossa de Mar" for much-prized t-shirts bearing the name of this interestingly-named resort on the costa brava. And the windy weather also prevented us from visiting Colera and Peniscola...

 

[EME]

Tossa de Mar/ and othert- shirts

Really ? And this from the man who's worn

The Rogue in La Rague
Fool from Napoule and
Yer Man in Cannes

(Can't work one on Antibes)

Drat, I didnt think you had noticed the spots!! were you the girl in the pink tight tank top, cos you must of been quite cold that morning!!

Barry

I just want to retire with my boat to the Med!

Pink Tight Tank Top ??

It would be tight, she weighed about 13 stone! No , I was with my mum going to school and we was late...

...I wanna boat please..

This magazine the bloke was reading ,can you buy it anywhere and I thought ties were for keeping your 3rd best trousers from falling down round your ankles.

Just hold tight dear it will not be so rough when we get round the corner,trust me.

 

[EME]

As to the magazine, I guess it's one of these free giveaways you get around town. Not much decent narrative anyways...all about big boats noone wants with flybridges and things like ladders.

Ties are very useful. Temporary anchor chain (in bath), warp extension kit, cushion covers, control lever warmers, teak dusters... a zillion uses on the boat AND cheaper from Pierre Cardin than your local chandelry.

Only own 1 pr troosers , so wouldn't know.
