Man Talk 12th July 2014

 

One job I heard about last week but haven't seen advertised on the Echo's situations vacant page is for a 'Reputation Rescuer'. Yup it exists and there is plenty of work, I mean lets face it,there are a lot of people out there who need one . After all who you gonna call when it all goes belly up. Ghostbusters may be used to dealing with all things toxic, but a reputation? They won't touch it. Jim's not fixing anything anymore. And Max is temporarily indesposed.

 

So for some bright enterprising social entrepreneurs their is a massive gap in

the market. I mean what wouldn't luis Suarez, Justin Bieber or even Lynsey Lohan give for a character like the wonderful Winstone Wolfe the clean up man from Pulp fiction to turn up at their door and say it all going to be ok. Or to be able to pick up the phone and give Saul a call the mister fixit from Breaking Bad. Still theirs always those characters from the 118 adverts but something tells me they may be needing their own reputation fixers sooner rather than later

 

We were invited to an Art exhibition last week and their was an auction which

included the opportunity to buy an original Picasso I mutted the idea of maybe bidding

for it to Barbara, but she laughed off the idea 'where would we put it? ' good

point!

 

The World Cup organisers FIFA must be feeling a little but full of themselves as

the World Cup draws to a close why else would they have their official seats

marked VVIP? Maybe it's because they think they are very Very important people that's why!

 

In case it passed you by its been Men's fashion week in the fashion capitals of Europe recently. So to keep you in the loop, some of the the key trends predicted were the nautical look all flares and stripes, and variations on the male ballet dancer theme, You get the idea, everything tight and figure hugging,showing off every lump and bump.Great if you've ripped,and toned. Not so good if like me the only way you'll get a six pack is from the beer aisle in Tesco. Meanwhile on The shoe front the court jester winkle picker is going to be big, and the the bigger and the pointier the better. But in case your not taken in by the hype. Maybe you'll agree with how one fashion spotter succinctly summed the whole fashion show charade. 'Most of them (the models) walking down the catwalk looked like they were homeless and they've found a bag of clothes!
