Dressing gowns

[Rocker]

Midge,

I was going to point out to the Mexicans and dwellers in other sub-Antarctic states that not only are dressing gowns unnecessary in the habitable parts of Queensland (Toowoomba excepted), but that we had barely even heard of such outlandish attire. I am afraid you post has torpedoed that story. I just record the fact that I do not own a dressing gown, apart from a royal-blue silk one, which is really only suitable for wearing on second honeymoons in Phuket.

OMG I'm consorting with dressing gown wearers , I need a beer and a lay down.....fetch me my fluffy slippers...

HH.

If it's good enough for Sherlock Holmes, it's good enough for me....

Besides, what else can you wear when smoking a pipe, playing the violin and taking drugs?

[silentC]

Do you wear Persian slippers as well?

Edit: Yes I know he didn't actually wear them, in fact I think he only had one...

[jmk89]

If I had some....

After a bit of thought.... I think your right, there is no alternative......

besides perhapes a pink taffeta tutu or a full body lizard suit.

The only way back in was to walk . . half a block up Riley Street, then into the lane and climb over the wall at the back of the house.

Come to think of it, not that unusual a sight in Darlinghurst.

Yes, but at 8 A.M. much more likely to be slinking over the wall into the alley, instead of vice-versa.

I have two dressing gowns and actually wore one one day last year, I think.

Sherlock would never be seen in a dressing gown. A silk smoking jacket perhaps...

Alex S is right (as usual). My wife bought me a robe-like thing about 20 years ago. It hangs in the bathroom because that's where she hung it. Wouldn't catch me wearing it. If it's cold in the morning, put on a jumper. The dressing gown adds no warmth anyway.

Go and see the vet for the snip.

But before you do, make a donation at the sperm bank.....

I would but I gave at the office

Well I am looking at getting a robe - a great big one made from towel material - reason is i swim laps after work in the pool outside and it is damn cold when you get out all wet and have to frig around with the pool cover for the next ten minutes before going inside.

So if you are dripping wet wearing speedos the air temp is under 6 deg - I recon that's a pretty good time to put over a heavy towel robe - I don't have one yet - safe for now as I'm getting over a flu thing.

Putting tracksuit and jumper on when all wet isn't a good option either.

I have two dressing gowns, one in the ensuite, which in summer I put on after a shower, quicker and easier than towelling off. The second I wear in winter for trips to the kitchen to make a pot of tea and then return to bed. Again quicker and easier than putting on trackies and sweater.

My choice of dressing gowns is simply based on laziness and utility, not cause I have poofter tendencies.

To make matters worse, in summer I use some Thai silk wraps for the trip to the kitchen from bedroom. Didn't used to bother but now we have neighbours and don't want to shock/offend them.

Again laziness, not style, is the reason. Bet youse $1000 I can get a wrap tied in place faster than youse can get trackie daks on. Incidentally this does not apply to Wongo, as he never takes his off.

Sorry Alex, but Sherlock most certainly did wear a dressing gown. He even had more than one. Unlike the deerstalker cap, which he never wore.

Sounds like something Wongo would have for lunch....errr bad visual image there...
