It's election day - and I'm wearing blue
Though I should reassure you that this is more to do with co-ordinating with my eye colour than a political statement - note that red and blue are reversed in their political leanings over here.

3. I'm afraid that it would take torture for me to contemplate voting LibDem
I have seen far too much of the nasty reality behind the happy smiling faces.

2. Hey, I'm wearing blue too.
But that's not how I voted.

4. Voted already
Is this a case of vote early, vote often?

No way I could make it down the polling station before work, I'm too much of a lazy git.

21. I was tempted to get myself some extra postal votes
just to see if I could.

5. The only question I have is
is the outfit cute?

The political stuff I'm sure you can handle on your own.

6. Depends what you find cute
I'm at work so we're talking very dark blue jacket (practically black), light blue shirt, and blue tie.

7. Oh no no
Edited on Thu May-05-05 05:24 AM by khashka
It depends on what YOU think is cute. Every man for himself I say. But let me guess.... dark blue trowsers, possibly black. Black shoes. I'd bet good money that your undies are either blue or grey. Most likely blue.

All in all sounds good to me :)

Since I have approved your wardrobe, you can now vote with a clear conscience.

Khash.

8. To find the colour of my undies
You'd have to be here - and ask very nicely ;-)

9. I am a man of discretion
I will not ask nor expect you to tell.

But surely you can quite modestly say if I am right or wrong. I swear I won't tell anyone :)

11. Damn!
And I tried so hard! But strangely my psychic powers usually fail me when it comes to other men's underwear (or lack there of as the case may be). It's sad but true..... and now I'll never know.

12. Tx is a tad to far to travel
Just to discover somebody's nether-region sartorial tastes.

You'll just have to find a local man and rip his clothes off him to find what he's wearing...

13. Well I didn't ask you to show me
Merely relate what you consider appropriate election day attire.

As for ripping local mens' clothing off, I'm afraid I'm taking a bit of an hiatus. I'm starting to get a reputation.......

Khash.
(Ok, damnit! Just tell me what freaking colour they are! Not for prurient interest, but merely to know if they match your eyes :))

14. Since you asked so 'nicely'.
Black - which I what I wear pretty much all of the time.

I can't say that I've compared to see if they match - I'm usually still asleep before they get covered up with my trousers.

15. I can now rest easy
Since you said the blue matches your eyes, I'm sure the black goes quite well.

I did have a certain moment of horror when I thought they might be shiny red nylon - but a stiff drink helped me regain control.

Khash.

16. I save the shiny red nylon for special occasions
They actually sound rather painful - I'm definitely a natural fibres type of man.

17. Ya just never know with Brits
Having owned and run an underwear fetish porn business (not my fetish, mind you) I feel qualified to determine and approve men's underwear. And from my great and varied experience... Brits make the worst underwear choices. Sad but true. British men are so cool in other ways - but never let them take their trowsers off.

Now that we have thoroughly discussed your pants.... get your ass over to that other thread and post a pic like Fleabert and I told you to.

18. My pics already there
I know what you mean about British underwear - it is very scary at times - I just assumed it was men in general (not having experience of foreign men :-( )

19. Yeah I saw your pix
And now I wish I hadn't asked you to post them. Thank the gods, it's early in the morning so no one will see them and I can keep flirting shamelessly with people who won't be thinking "but Khash, he's so much cuter than you!".

Yeah... I had a deprived childhood too, growing up in London. I did learn a few particularly British vices, but I learned a lot more after I moved to the continent.... still I do have thang for sexually repressed men in three piece suits and and tacky Marks and Sparks underwear.....

20. Not a chance
One look at your pic, and they'll be fighting over you (I sure would).

I'm not quite sure whether I count as a sexually repressed man in a three-piece suit and tacky M&S underwear - in fact I doubt that I fulfill any of the three criteria.

22. You are too kind
Edited on Thu May-05-05 07:12 AM by khashka
But next time I get back to England (my lionheart) I'll stand you a few rounds if you put on a three piece suit, some tacky M&S underwear and pretend to be sexually repressed. I promise I'll be a perfect gentleman.

23. Count me in!
That sounds like such fun.

Is the rest of my clothing to be as tacky as the underwear? As in 30% cotton shirt... :scared:

24. The rest of the clothing should be very nice indeed
And we'll probably never get down to the underwear - even after I've had enough Guinness to quit being particularly gentlemanly. I think at a certain point you're required to say "No sex, please, I'm British!" or renounce your citizenship. At which point I'm required to swear and mutter "Oh Calcutta!". Although I may have gotten things a little muddled - so check the relevant laws.

Now, if you're a Soho kinda boy, all the rules change... and I know this little place off Wardour Street where clothing is entirely optional :)

Khash.
