Things you can't unsee

[becky]

As the credits rolled after Casualty and I started to gather myself together to go and put the kettle on, they cut to a preview for Match of the Day. There in all his glory was Gary Linnekar, wearing a pair of those weird modern clingy trousers that look stretched all down the calves and fit where they may at the top.........as he stood there, extolling the joys to come after the 10 o'clock news did he have any idea that he was clearly showing the male equivalent of a camel toe, making his tackle look like two conkers in an old sock? Will anyone in the BBC wardrobe department be held to account for this abomination? Will my eyeballs ever recover from the horror they have seen?

Does anyone actually care?



I'll never be able to look at a conker in the same way again.

If they're looking for volunteers to knock those conkers loose with a stick there will be quite a queue.

You poor thing, its bad enough just looking at Gary Lineker, never mind having his meat and two veg displayed in your living room, you may need counselling, 😱

men over a certain age.

I once saw a man over 65 in West Sussex, who thought he still had the legs to wear cropped cycling shorts as he walked to the bakers of a morning.

I think the F1 mob started it with Coulthard, et al, wearing the skinniest trousers.

Unfortunately, Becky has now stained my mind with a virtual image of Lineker strutting his stuff, with that self-satisfied smug grin that you want to punch with a club hammer

Things you can’t unsee? Something has stayed with me all my life from when I was a young kid in the early 70’s. As an innocent young schoolboy, I was sitting on the floor in the book corner and our teacher mrs spearing bent down in front of me to pick a book up. Now obviously as an 8 year old I’d never seen up a ladies skirt before, but she was all tackled up and as it was the 1970’s she clearly hadn’t shaved her legs for god knows how long, there was a few rolls of fat as well.
Honestly I’ve never forgotten it, definitely burnt the back of my eyeballs and scarred me for life

I don’t think I remember seeing my dad laugh so much ether when I tried to explain it to him.
It’s funny how I can’t remember stuff from last week, but something like that has stuck with me for 50 odd years

Yikes. Sounds like you stared into the maw of the Devil's Punchbowl.

Presumably, a complaint to the BBC is in the offing? I would like to see the reply.

Am I the only one who can't unsee Ryan Giggs with his top off? Well me and his brother's wife. Bear or wolf doesn't really cover it - and certainly on the back too. Like an out of control 70s crooner who has bathed in Regain and then lathered themselves in Just for Men.

from some of your posts I'm surprised at your squeamishness, clearly becoming a bit more discerning with age. When we played conkers in the playground if one of them dropped the opponent could shout 'stampsies' and said article would be flattened underfoot. I think you'd happily give Gary's this treatment. And there were different types - I presume Mr Lineker is not in possession of cheese cutters?
