Today, along London Road, I bumped into the ever cheerful Jason, who as usual was carrying his toddler daughter on his shoulders.They were off to pick up Jason's other daughter from school.
As I stopped he looked me up and down slowly
.
Egg and chicken poo on my hoodie top
Ripped combats
Rubber over shoes,
hair all over the place
Not a good look, I would admit
"Do you know" he said "that The Red Faced Welsh Farmer ( RFWF) is setting up his own blog!?"
I fell for it
"No " I said
"Yes!... apparently he refers to you in it as The S.G.B.!"
"What's that stand for" I asked
He laughed
"SCRUFFY, GAY BASTARD!"
Time to tidy up, me thinks...........
and I am serious....
haw haw - you're not a bastard!!
ReplyDeleteBought myself some dungerees last year to wear up the plot / cleaning chicken coops etc. They cost a bit.
ReplyDeleteNever worn them as apparently they are supposedly a kind of 'gay' signal. Is that right?
Do you want them John? ;-)
How do you get coffee out of a laptop keyboard?
ReplyDeleteJane x
ha ha ha ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteI dunno, John, yours is a look that not everyone can wear well. Although you might want a cleaner hoodie when you go delivering eggs.
LOL!!!! You made me almost wake my hubby up John!!! He sure got YOU didn't he hehehe.....good job I must say. Hope your weekend is a good one
ReplyDeleteMaura :)
But I don't see you doing your work in a suit!
ReplyDeletem.
Hey, I just noticed. I'm holding my camera just like Maura. We must be twins!
ReplyDeletem.
Ha! I almost did a spit take on that....
ReplyDeletechris
ReplyDeletethats a lesbian uniform
Thanks John, for the laugh. Now I've got to clean the tea off my screen.
ReplyDeleteIve been spurred into action after a spot of Facebook stalking. Found my "one that got away" who had the most gorgeously well turned out slim and attractive wife, and realised he would consider me a "lucky escape"! Its a right load of effort though and I'm still not getting it right! Struggling myself so can't help you with Gay Outdoor wear i'm afraid xxxx
ReplyDeleteSGB, that's kind of snappy...
ReplyDeleteJohn, absolutely no offense intended, but I think you'll have to invent a time machine to end up looking like the guy whose image is gracing this post.
ReplyDeleteI can dream Scott,
ReplyDeletei CAN DREAM
he he he he...
ReplyDeleteWe still love you!
Oh man, it hurts...
ReplyDeleteSounds like Jason has a way with words.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I love the chicken farmer look!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought your get-up was completely appropriate for dealing with a load of troublesome, messy animals every day. What does he expect, a three piece suit and a bow tie?
ReplyDeleteEXAMPLE FASHION TIPS for MEN:-
ReplyDeleteDraping a scarf around your neck and letting it hang down your torso is a great way to slim down a rotund chest and belly.
Double breasted jackets work better with a wide tie and wide fitting trousers.
In colour psychology purple is regal and expensive. Wear a purple tie with a dark grey suit and you’ll be heads and shoulders above the crowd.
Vary the texture & colour of your tie and your pocket square. Matching the tie to the pocket square can look too try-hard.

ReplyDeleteIt's a gift to yourself John, to tidy yourself up a bit before you go out and about.
ReplyDeleteI decided a number of years ago that brushing my hair and a swish of lipstick was mandatory before heading out the door.
It's amazing what it does for your self-confidence!
lipstick it is then jaq xxx
ReplyDeleteJohn, don't worry about other people say or think. You just be yourself. We always have some sign of our smallholding life stamped upon us somewhere, even if it is just our muddy shoes. You are someone who casts a long shadow because of the caring person you are. Stay as you are!
ReplyDeleteLOL...tell them that you are SOOOOO beautiful on the inside that you don't need to bother with all that preening...you're not scruffy, you're confident:-)
ReplyDeletesnort
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to give me a "chuckle" from way over there, John ! LMAO
ReplyDeleteYou went straight to the bath-tub did you John?!
ReplyDeletehaha....great thing about Johns blog is that the most ordinary conversations and momentary meetings can be passed around the world for an instant comment....he did look a scruffy bastard though !
ReplyDeletejason!
ReplyDeleteit was all your own work!
thank you for the great blog entry
Trelawnyd may be small
but it is the basis of some great quotes!
i did ask whether it was human poo .....chicken shit is so less damaging to your status in a small village
ReplyDeleteI cant believe you asked me if it was human.....
ReplyDeletewhat does that make me?
at least people will now realise that I dont make this shit up
ReplyDeleteHaha. John.
ReplyDeleteA clean hoodie is probably quite sufficient, given all that you go through in a day.
Have a wonderful weekend! :o)
Good one!
ReplyDeleteYou should see some of my barn outfits that have been worn to the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment about our farm house. It was built in the late 1820s and we have lived here for over 30 years.
Oh my.
ReplyDeleteIm sure the word "scruffy" is definitely a word of endearment...
oh wait, i was thinking of terriers...
;p
I dunno .... there's several Bogan towns in Australia, particularly up in Q-billy land, where you fit right in dressed like that and no-one would think you were either scruffy or gay!
ReplyDeleteOh come now, "scruffy" is so endearing!
ReplyDeleteScruffy is also comfortable.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is to wear whatever you don't mind being covered in Turkey shit, as well as heavy duty 'Marigolds', and thigh length Wellies.
ReplyDeleteYou DO I know, I suppose, SGB, that that's how you will be thought of from now on!
