jeez do you have a red nose and big shoes to go with the trousers?

I've noticed the red nose but I didn't let my eyes linger on the shoes or trousers !

good job you didn't fall over his feet

If you saw the amount of rum punch he tucks away, you would probably realise he needs the longer shoes to aid stability !!!

maybe the formal dress code is designed to cover a multitude of sins

Do I detect the merest hint of an obsession with the dress codes ?

Unread post by **Dark Knight** » 30 Sep 2013, 11:20

not really
contrary to popular belief , I do adopt the prevailing dress code, I just advocate freedom to opt out , if people want to

mine doesn't need braces or anything else to keep up the trousers, as it fits properly

I did say "proper" dress trousers as in

The idea is that you need braces at the beginning of the cruise, but the trousers fit by the end of it.

Mine is M&S, and I have an M&S cream one for occasional use. Fits me perfectly, and doesn't need braces. I've got a nice pair of red braces but only wear them for fun. I am not snobby enough to have a tailored one just for cruises.

My husband and son have M&S too. Perfectly adequate for a holiday. After all it's just a cruise

Indeed. 'It's just a cruise' is something that needs constant repetition.

ps ... ' It's just a cruise '

See Dark Knight...we knew we could rely on you to put us right!

My old Bosun was from 'ull, he could put anyone right.

I only live in Ull, so can only put you right MOST of the time

and if I may be so bold, I am shocked you are not dressed to the nines in an Amarni tux?
M&S surely not

I am sure we are all grateful. As for Armani, not me! The height of haute couture for me is humble Austin Reed, otherwise its Jaeger or M&S. I dont wear the football shirt because my team is Luton Town the 'Hatters' and I cant keep up with their changes in strip.

I honestly doubt anyone is grateful

but cant blame a person for trying
