    Stubble mmmm. Pink shirt is a big no no. Girls also like cute fluffy things but not many would want you walking round in a pink feather boa stroking a kitten :p

    Speak for yourself, Tim Curry in a feather boa does it for me. :cool:

    Do you realise that a 34-36 inch chest is classed as extra small in most places?

    I wouldn't think you'd want to be THAT small. I wouldn't want hubby to be

    40-41 chest and 42 round the middle is a bit too stocky I think.

    your top half should be like a triangle - ie your chest bigger than your waist

    i've always gone for blokes with a 36" waist (oddly) but much bigger chests.

    mind you, i have a big chest too, so someone with a pidgeon chest would be squashed!!!!

    i think you need a smaller waist and keep the chest.

    Nope. Real men with stubble :drool: don't.

    Pink is a poncey colour for blokes. It's the ones that think they're 'modern men' that wear it. They can usually be found stocking up on moisturiser and facial scrub :D Tarts.

    I bought the ex a beautiful grey suit and pink shirt for his graduation last year, he's a rugger !!!!!! so has big sholders, and always has stuble, infact I hated it clean shaven, he looked gorgeous, pity he didnt have the personality to match :rotfl:

    Thanks, it is not like the banking or accounting sector where pin stripe is needed.

    is this for the civil service post?? if so, you'll almost certainly need a suit

    Yes, as long as it does not require a suit every day then I don't mind.

    Hang on here :confused:

    So, one of the Phil's has an interview.

    He's told us in many previous posts that he's overweight/on a diet / a fat knacker (personal interpretation here)

    Now he's going to lose weight for the interview and before he graduates..... and he's aiming for a 30 inch chest? !!!!!!?? My skinny 8 yo isn't too far off that now. I think that most blokes who find it nigh on impossible to be that thin - even with no fat most men have a skeletal frame bigger than that, don't they?

    Am I believing this thread? Not a chance. All those woe is me threads, the "I can't find a job/get an interview" threads then suddenly the "I have an interview" thread (oh, we didn't see that one coming did we?)

    How about you get a matching pink pillowcase for your charcoal grey duvet cover - it'll look nice when you get bored of staring at your PC!!


    (ps. I'm having a bad day - shall I start my own thread about it? :rotfl:)
