All tied up

I bought two swanky suits from the new Ted Baker Endurance store that opened up in Covent Gardens on Friday. I've also bought 5 work shirts and 4 new ties. I felt it was time, since I haven't bought new clobber for work for quite a while and with the new project and new beginnings and such, it was needed. As part of my new beginnings I'm clearing out all my old ties. They are not quite 'in fashion' anymore. One might question if they ever were in fashion, as my fashion sense is not quite the same as Razorheads.

Free to a good home ... for whatever purposes. However if you actually do use them for nefarious purposes I want to see pictures of who got tied to the bed. let me know if you want one (or more) and I'll send them on.

Current Takers are

Penguin - Lori (To Wear)

Pineapple - Green Fairy (Purpose Unknown)

Horses - Francesca (Nefarious Purposes)

Flowers - Ian (To Wear / New Job)

Bunnies - JP (Nefarious Purposes)

Horns - Razorhead (Tentative - To make fun of me)

Cars - Julia (Nefarious Purposes)

Squares - Nat (To Wear & Nefarious Purposes)

Whales - Zed (Purpose Unknown)

Smut - Karen (Nefarious Purposes)

They are all silk except for one which is acrylic and has a 'rude ' picture on the inside. They're all in pretty good nick more or less.

If you're curious, these are ties I'm keeping.

I’m not really sure I can tell the difference between the “good ties” and the “bad ties”. My only suggestion is that you move the “purple rain forest” tie into the latter category.

Now where are my Mickey Mouse socks?

Hey that purple tie is great and goes with my fantastic new lilac Thomas Pink shirt.

Don’t insult the new ties.

[Razor if you are reading this can you back me up here … please]

I din’t know they actually sell purple ties…except to Prince/ Symbol. Are you about to embark on a new make-over? A rasberry berret perhaps??

Did you know that one had such a ‘charming’ photo inside when you bought it? I can imagine the salesman now… “ooh! Suits you sir!” ;)

I am tempted by the pengiun one, but then, when would I wear it…

Marl, your wifes picking out your clothes isn’t she?

Lori, ties are in for women (ladies? girls? foxy babes liek you!). All you need is a red or white shirt to go with it.

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Could I have the pineapple one, please?

I bagsy the penguin and/or bunny ones if they are still going!

Happy to send you something faintly disturbing in return…

Green Fairy, Zed … all yours. JP, Bunnies are yours (no boiling please). Penguins are yours if Lori changes her mind and no one else wants them.

Ted Baker Endurance suits - very nice. I really should find more opportunities to wear mine. Not much call when you work from home on your own…

I don’t think that small square does the purple tie justice, it obviously needs to be viewed as part of a shirt/suit ensemble.

I am tempted by the one with the horns, but only so I can make tacky jokes about you

Actually, I am a bit worried by the new ties, although the Purple one is the one I actually like!

19 Apr, '04 1:21 PM

Well three of the new ties are actually old ties (#2, #3, #7). #7 I have never actually worn.

And Tie #1 is going back to TM Lewin because it’s too similar to Tie #6 which I got from Thomas Pink and is nicer (has a light blue strand going through it)

I’ll put you down tentatively for the horns.

If I promise to use it for nefarious purposes, could I have the smut tie? It seems appropriate…

19 Apr, '04 1:25 PM

15. Karen

uh… ps. it’s not for me….

19 Apr, '04 1:29 PM

16. Adrian

All yours baby … um who’s it for?

19 Apr, '04 4:01 PM

17. Francesca

I will take horsey tie three off your hands.

For “Muwahahaha” purposes :)

19 Apr, '04 4:51 PM

18. Lori

Foxy babes like me, eh? For that, I’ll send you a nice pic of me in the pengiun tie :)

19. beth

damn. that tie is for men who need their porn on the go…..

19 Apr, '04 6:26 PM

20. Green Fairy

Is it only me that can’t think of anything nefarious to do with a tie?

19 Apr, '04 6:46 PM

21. Adrian

You’re obviously not trying hard enough …

Anyway i think at the very least everyone who gets a tie has to send in a picture of the tie being worn, or used in some way.

If the car is a VW Beetle (which it looks like it may be) could I have that one please. Fond memories of my first beetle and nefarious goings on within.

I may even be able to think up a more suitable use for it.

Ok, you may have ‘had’ the worst taste in ties ever.

If it’s a help I know the guy who designs and manufactures ties for Holland and Holland, and Paul Smith. Read: branded silk ties for Â£7. The problem is that he’s based in Southwell… outside Nottingham.

If you’re in the area…

19 Apr, '04 9:25 PM

24. Ian

And why have all the best ties been left?

19 Apr, '04 11:33 PM

25. Ian

Dibs on number 4 then! Its the best of them anyways.

Hmmm. I think I may have missed the tie boat. No matter. You’ve done so much for me Adrian. You’ve been a friend, a confidant, a chef, a book-lender, a flat-giver, a match-maker, an angry father, a get-out-jail-free card…..oh yeah, and best of all, you bought me some drinks on Saturday. You rule! No ties attached.

sheepishly please may I have the last tie (#8, hologram squares or something)? Will give it a loving home, and should I be lucky enough for a nefarious situation to arise, shall reach for it post-haste.

Which one was the tie with the dirty pic again ?
