Oh Lord! People wanting my autograph because I've had letters published in FT, people wanting to see me on TV....

I just can't stand the pressure, I'm going to run off and be a hermit in an un-noticed part of Cornwall.

Thinks: Hang on, I already am...

Didn't know your name was Justin Rynner, are you posting under two names?

No, I'm not that prolific! (But I have had letters in FT before now, although no-one actually asked for my autograph!)

Maybe he just didn't have the figure to carry it off.

It's important that this sort of thing be stopped. Men wearing women's clothes in public should not be tolerated, unless it involves Rugby League players on late night television.

(After all, if we allow this to continue, soon we'll have women wearing trousers!)

I once saw a naked man running along the platform of Letchworth train station! Everyone was to busy laughing to phone the police:D However a man wearing womens clothing and a long black coat does sound a bit disturbing.
 
He should be allowed to wear whatever he likes. As long as he hasn't got his lad out or something.
 
My mother and I were driving down the high street in East Sheen many years ago, when we saw a scrawny elderly woman, completely naked except for a huge pair of pale pink directoir knickers (those ones with long legs, elasticated at the bottom). She was holding them up under her chin and legging it for all she was worth. Mother very nearly wrote off the car.
 
I'd also like to know what they would charge the man for. But on another note, if the guy had his lad out why should that be a crime? Not everybody who likes to walk a round naked is a rapist. I don't see any reason why we have a law that says you can't walk around naked.

Once upon a time in Oxford, on Headington Hill, I was walking merrily down (never walked up, sod that. Take the bus), and looked to my right, and saw, in the wooded area behind the railings, a man, of I estimate around 50, wearing nothing but wellies, half hiding behind a tree. I'll leave you to wonder about which half.

Nice.

Which leads me to wonder how you went about estimating his age..... :D
 
Last house i lived in in Cheltenham was split into ten flats and every other person in the house was as mad as a hatter.
And I saw a man in Cheltenham once with a BIG rip in his tracksuit bottoms, so that you could see his "lad". I did actually find it quite disturbing, it shouldn't be allowed.

Ah but you're Danish Xanatic. Different culture altogether when it comes to nudity and sex. Over here nobody wants to see a strange man's bits hanging out on the street. Well almost nobody. :)
 
I would like to know when "his old man" became "his lad" - and why! :confused: :)
 
rynner: For most men, his "old man" became his "lad" about the same time his hairline met up with his bald spot and he started combing six hairs left-to-right across his scalp.

Wishful thinking that misnomers and misdirection might actually work....
 
I think it was "Our Friends in the North" which contained the following dialogue:
1st man: "When I was in Amsterdam I went to a prostitute, and she made me wash my old man in the sink first"
2nd man, incredulously "You brought your dad with you?"
:p
 
I also don't want to see men have their beer bellies out in the street, but that is allowed. I also don't want to see ugly women in the street, but as far as I kow it is only in America they have laws against that.

Just because I don't like seeing it, doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed. It is wrong in a society that talks about freedom and such, to not allow a man to walk around naked.
 
It's one thing saying freedom should allow public nudity, but what if a man got aroused on the street, while naked, and a kid saw it?

Sex isn't a kid thing, so they shouldn't be confronted with it like that. By all means tell them about it, though.

And women - if a naked man saw a naked woman on the street, all hell could break loose.

We don't come into "heat" anymore, so the naked female body is arousing all the time (unless it's mine). Hence the whole thing just wouldn't work, in my mind.
How does it work in nudist colonies?

We're not apes anymore, we have been covering our bits for a very long time - while it might not seem "natural" to wear clothes, it's become natural for us as humans. We've been here long enough.

If we were covered in fur (and I don't just mean hirsuit men), then it'd be a different matter. I would be able to deal with naked people on the train if their pink wrinkly bits were hidden in fur.

Ok I'm going to stop now.

Missed this as I was so keen to blather on the nature of nakedness.

He had a saggy, wrinkly arse, and grey hair (it wasn't a thick tree).

This whole thread ought to be in the Cryptopornography section anyhoo.

Ah, the long-ignored art of age estimation by bum sag....
 
Just last week I saw a stocky, hirsute gentleman meandering through Enfield in smeared make-up, hoop earrings and some sort of corset-and-skirt ensemble, with his finger held coquettishly up to his lips. He appeared to be somehat non-compos mentis and emitted a rather pungent smell. Heads did turn.

Also, last December -- again in Enfield -- a lunchtime curfew was implemented across town one weekday when a man was reported running around the shopping centre brandishing a cutlass.
 
I only live just down the road from Enfield. I never realised it was such an exciting place :D

You know when you're really old when you're walking along the beach, you look behind you, and your arse has rubbed out your footprints.
And when the only horny thing about you is your toenails.
 
Trouser allegy

I recall from my youth a man who refused to wear anything below the waist, as he was allergic! His 'Johnson' was hidden by a really long shirt.

I hate neckties, could I claim some kind of reaction?

Haven't heard that moniker in a long while - my grandmother used to refer to my brother's as a Jimmy Johnson.
As to the news item. There may be a perfectly logical explanation.
The poor man may have fallen into a swimmimg pool fully dressed and been given the only dry clothing available to go home in.
Poor sod probably thought this was preferable to going home naked.
Even if he was dressed like this by choice, so what. Increasingly we see young men wearing make-up or with plucked eyebrows, and I'm sure no-one reports them to the busies.:confused:

Claim that in a former incarnation you were executed by hanging from a gallows, and now in this life anything around your neck brings you out in a rash! :blah:

Jimmy Johnson, 'Wee Jinky', Celtic and Scotland winger..... about 5'2" on stilts ....

What was your gran implying about your brother's wedding tackle? Diminutive? Dribbles a lot but doesn't shoot too often? Low scoring rate, but when it happens, it's spectacular? :D

Is this where I would find nude pictures of Nessie? Or the infamous Bigfoot Mating Video?

I've recently been doing some research into the field of Pornocryptography, myself. It's the study of sending coded messages using dirty postcards.

(That's the only reason I have them, I swear!)
