My post-lockdown commute back to work

[Dillinger]

A short-sleeved summer shirt,

Read... a multi coloured Southern Woofter's Songkran Shirt.

You can get all the ingredients in Villamarket and do a much better full English than the Robin Hood or Hanrahans.

Has Mendip been made aware of the perils of entering establishments quoted with the makings of a full English in tow?

[Dillinger]

You been fuckin gardening in those?

Get KW to lend you his nail clippers and bunion cream

[Edmond]

^ And stop waxing yer legs!

That's both Ootai and JPPR2 removed from the TD men's list.

And I'm not going to blow job bars either. I just wanted some nice food and a couple of pints of cider.

Perhaps in a nice, proper beer garden.


With a fit Thai gardener.



You're fooling no one Mendy.

[Mendip]

Mendip here's what I wear AND call sandals, not "proper" sandals, not "fashionable" sandals, not "closed" toe sandals just ordinary every day sandals

Well ootai, you can't call them closed- toe, cos they're not, and you certainly can't call them fashionable.

You should call them Jesus boots, because THOSE are Jesus boots.

I can't believe you people can't see the difference.

[Saint Willy]

I'm going out socialising in the big city mate.

In Jesus sandals.

and ASICS no socks.

Euw. They get smelly fast. Get some invisible socks, please.

Jesus would have been in clover with velcro rather than leather thongs

[Stumpy]

Now I'll admit, a Brit would never post that.

Well I should explain the Central Lampang a bit Cyrille. I was there at Tops to pick up a 12 pack of these to celebrate Mendy's release back to society.

I mean JP, is it fancy dress?

No I was dressed what we call "Street Casual" in the states. Pretty typical Cali dress. But in fairness I don't expect European folks to understand West Coast California dress attire. Growing up near the ocean surfing most of my life there is a certain way people dress casual. Jesus Sandals is not one of them. But we all dress to what we like and are comfortable with. Would I wear those sandals like Mendy's....No. Would I wear what Ootai posted...No. Would I wear a panama hat to the beach. No. Would I wear teal or pink bermuda shorts...No. . But that's me.

Its all good Mendy, go out sportin them sandals with no socks with pride.

This is what most tend to wear where I come from.



Beer 2 done. NY Steak relaxing. Its Friday and Payday and bonus day....

I do just about everything in them but not gardening yet. You sound like my missus (whinging) about why don't you clean your sandals.
As for the rest no bunions and nails don't need clipping yet besides I have to work too hard to do it i.e. reaching around the bump.

^ And stop waxing yer legs!

That's both Ootai and JPPR2 removed from the TD men's list.

I have plenty of hair on my legs just not black hair like some of the gorillas and bears (Mendip) on here.

Well ootai, you can't call them closed- toe, cos they're not, and you certainly can't call them fashionable.

They are real sandals ya fukkin dork and I can't understand how you DON'T see the difference, enough said.

Now, I could wear them.

[Stumpy]

I have those for long days. This was a quick run and this will make you laugh. My feet never stink. You'll say YEAH SURE!. My wife's says it is the weirdest thing she has ever seen. They seldom sweat either. I actually read up about it.

[aging one]

One more time JP, we wear the same sandals. Color and size of sole exactly the same. California beach boys I guess.

Yeah yeah we heard it all before and your shit don't stink either!
You must have Covid and lost your sense of smell.

As for KW wearing you fancy thongs I'm sure if he did he would get cracked heels as there is not much cushion there to support a heavy load.

And JP why wouldn't you wear sandals like mine are you a snob? Fork me footwear is meant to be functional and comfortable not a fukkin fashion statement.
My sandals stop me coming into contact with the chicken shit so I'm happy.
Do I giver a fuk about what they look like, not really.

[Stumpy]

Exactly. Casual. Can wear with jeans and a nice shirt to a BBQ or out to the beach bar. Can wear with shorts at the beach or out on the wakeboard boat . We always called them Flippys or Flip Flops. Never sandals. Even my wife calls them flippys.

[Mendip]

They are real sandals ya fukkin dork and I can't understand how you DON'T see the difference, enough said.

Yeah fair enough, I'll bow to your real fashion sense, whatever you Aussies call those velcro things

But I tell you one thing, I'm not walking round Sukhumvit looking like I just found my footwear floating in a klong.

Well, I guess, shock of shocks, different counties call them different things!

[Stumpy]

Not according to Mendy. He has Proper Fashion Sandals. .

I gotta be honest here Ootai. In my days, that style footwear you posted were either worn by hippies or old folks. Again growing up around the beach you need to be able to kick them off and go. What you wear is a full stop, pull back the velcro straps. when you get dirt in them you gotta take them off to clean them. Flippy's ya just snap the heal and BAM clean... And if it matters. I have a pair that has a bottle opener on the bottom which my wife thinks is absolutely hilarious but admitted when I open a bottle for her said, "You guys think of anything to drink...."

I have always worn Reef or Volcom. That said, I would never work around my house in any sort of open toed anything. Its shoes or nothing.

Be right back. I need down me a boiler maker and wax my legs....

[strigils]

Has this thread turning into a sandal snob off.

[Headworx]

Yeah these are Thongs, but don't call them that around Americans Also known as Surfer Joe's in some circles, and as equally at home being worn with a a pair of board shorts or a tuxedo just like Rolex sports watches.

[Stumpy]

Has this thread turning into a sandal snob off.

We are trying to inform Mendy that his Proper Fashion Sandals are Jesus Slippers. Ootai showed us his hippie sandals.

[cyrille]

Now, I could wear them.

Would you wear them on the uneven pavements of bkk though?

[strigils]

We are trying to inform Mendy that his Proper Fashion Sandals are Jesus Slippers.

I fear he is too set in his ways to change to the California look, i think the front of his sandals will open up once the wolf pack have had a chance to operate on them.

Yeah once his dogs get hot and start wanting out, the front of them will be open toe in no time.
