Man Talk 8th March 2015







A report this week said that we men have at least two pair of trousers in our wardrobe that don't fit. The best excuses are you picked up the wrong size and can't be bothered taking them back. Or you plan on slimming down into them( note it's never the other way - you plan on growing into them! ) 

But For any man feeling pleased that he can still fit into the same size pants as he did in his youth, despite an obvious growing waistline, here is some bad news: boys are becoming victims of The retailing trend 'vanity sizing'. Where clothes can be anything up two sizes bigger than they say on the label. Aways popular with the girls its now being used more and more in men's clothing. In the trade it's called  "manity sizing' of course I don't believe a word if it and would like to continue living in slimline blissfull ignorance. 

What's in a name? Well quite a lot if your a horse called Brian - the Police think Brian's name wasn't heroic enough to be one of its front line  ponies so rejected him! Neigh!!!!

Remember the idea of the paperless office, and how the internet is  going to save the planet because we will be recording everything on line or on discs. Well guess what, technology is moving so fast that a lot of recorded stuff is out if date and could now be lost, but don't worry they've found a solution. Break out the paper and pens everyone. 

The more expensive the restaurant the more likely you are to describe its food in sexual terms says research in America. Orgasmic, and sensual or sexy and naughty are some of the favourites. Where as cheaper restaurants are often described as a drug related experiences. Words such as addictive, craved and  hooked are commonly used. Maybe that explains why I describe my lunchtime sausage roll as a quick fix.

Everyone likes to embellish their CV's just a little, to get an edge. But how about adding that In 2006 you were Time magazines person of the year. And it's true, In 2006 the influential magazine  made "Everyone" their person of the year.


 It recognized the millions of people who contribute to social media. So as as long as you tweet, message or post, that award was recognition for you. Congratulations you've got the job! 

Former footballing 'hard man' and wannabe actor Vinnie Jones is now plying his vocal talents on U Tube giving Spanish lessons. I've seen him and I'm afraid It's a red card from me 

The term having a face only a mother could love seems appropriate if you've passed the Liverpool shop in Williamson Square lately. The posters of the players in the windows wouldn't look out of place on crime watch. Obviously the photographer doesn't have the luxury of Photoshop. 

And on the subject of Liverpool football club. They've gone from
 the Spice boys to the Nivea boys. They must be going soft - their hands that is !
