SWMBO received an invitation to her works Christmas party and Dress is "After Five". Does that mean I can wear my trakky dacks and ~15 year old Hendrix tee shirt with the holes in the armpits. This is what I usually wear around the home after five :rolleyes:.

Of course you can John....just don't expect your wife to talk to to for a couple of months.

Beaudy, it's a win win. I'll be comfortable and I'll have some peace and quiet for a couple of months :2tsup::2tsup:.

In white-collar-land After Five usually sees the women carrying their high heels in their hands, their bras in their bags and their waistbands undone. The blokes have their ties in their pockets and their top shirt buttons undone.

After Five here usually sees me in a tee-shirt and no pants... as I am for most of the day.

You could put on a nice frock. Bloke on Rake last episode was wearing one so it must be terribly fashionable at the moment.:D

A barely long enough tee-shirt is all I require thank you.

My comment was for John. So are you bearing a guilty conscience?:D:D:p

Okay, I'll bite. After five equals underwear and t-shirt for me (and I suspect most of us). Now I ask you all to visualise this scenario. :shakehead:

I have no problem with dresses except they're damned uncomfortable when it's hot and windy.

That sounds fine to me but seeing that it's a formal do, and to please your wife, wear a black tie to go with it.:U

The last time I wore a dress (and a blond wig, heels and falsies) was at a do in a pub in Somerset about twenty-five years ago. I think I could squeeze into a size 20 then, but a marquee mightn't fit me now.

This thread is a source of deep distress to me. I find that many of those whom I regarded as role models for their generation have allowed standards to slip so far as to sit at the mahogany in singlet and shorts. Surely the unsightly sight of themselves reflected in the silverware would be enough to curb this behaviour.:no:

Not my colour I'm afraid. I find it attracts the wrong sort of person.

Not another of your fetishes!

Going to Hijack this tread for about 5 minutes, one of my other fetishes is:

 I had the the urge to do some food preparation

Tonight:
I will pan fry in Olive oil some diced Spring Onions, Pancetta, Portobello Mushrooms, green and Red Capsicum Garlic, seasoning and about 6 tomatoes to this I will add some cooked pasta.
Tomorrow night:
I have marinating is a nice Cab Sav 1.2Kg Topside, finely diced. carrot, Onion, Celery. Red and Green Capsicum some Pancetta garlic Bay leaves and Rosemary and some seasoning, the whole lot meat and veggies are marinating in about 3/4 of a bottle of the Cab Sav.This will marinate for about 12 - 20 hours I am still undecided how I am going to cook this one, I will be searing the meat but I am not sure whether to slow cool it or put in a casserole dish and put it in the oven and cook it for a shorter time at a hotter temperature.

What would you do with this one? If I slow cook it there will be more sauce left and I could mix some tomato paste with it and the veggies. It I casserole it the sauce would reduce with the veggies and I would have a natural reduction.
