    Yeah, I detest wearing suit and tie and would take an hourly rate or another job to avoid them. Feel like a pretentious ponse when walking to work in a suit or out and about at lunchtime.

    LOL Mr Wolf !

    DA : Why thank you....praise from an agent...what are you after ?

    You know, it's not easy being a goth when your desire to dress as you please conflicts with the client's desire to present a plain, unassuming image to its clients.

    I miss the days working in a music company when it was de rigeur to dress as you pleased (Blue hair & spandex for example). Only the senior management wore casual clothes (Ralph Lauren polo shirts, courdroys and mirrored shades).

    I suppose I should be a little more appreciative that in the NHS you can have long hair (either sex) and no one minds too much. Saw a nurse the other day with funky red and black stripes in her hair, a nose ring and what looked like nip rings (it was cold).

    Glad to see a bit of individuality in the workplace to be honest. Life is so dull otherwise...

    The rest of the time we play WOW (yes Mrs BGG also plays every night as well). It certainly saves the pennies.

    Sure, if I had more disposable income, I might be inclined to go out more often, though in the past, when I had better paying jobs, we tended to stay in anyway. Going out for the sake of it bores me senseless and I can't be bothered tbh. Different strokes and all that.

    There's bu66er all to do round here in Essex that is goth/alternative friendly anway (apart from our club once a month). No shops, no regular clubs, it's all in London and that's 45 mins each way and £15 each before you even get started.
    At least you are prepared to come on here and admit it, for that you get my (guarded) praise .

    Qu: Why has a goth (whatever the heck that is) got two black eyes?


    Ans: Because he didn't listen the first time.

    "Still trying to work out panda's though....."

    Pale white faces with big black eyes = pandas and goths.

    Actually, behind closed doors, we don't bother with the make up (well, not the men anyway).

    Still trying to work out panda's though.....

    You have your own club. Wow.

    That must look like Pandas partying.
