At least until your past the door staff...

You could try the rather unconventional "Reverse 007" method of dress. Unbuttoning your jacket and shirt to reveal a wetsuit.

Straight question - been invited to a 'Black-Tie' evening and not QUITE sure what it entails?

Please dont say Tux and Dickie!!

Pete

Little Miss WRX

Awww, I reckon you'd look cute in that

NotoriousREV

yeah, tuck in your dickie, like in Silence of the Lambs.

MJW

Yep, black tie 'do' = penguin suit time.

Dream Weaver

You have to stand in the middle of the room and hit each other with black ties - great fun actually

D Brown

think you'll find it's your best Prince Charlie outfit that's required:

LG John

Where have you been for the last 70 odd years

You got to get dressed up all smart n stuff.....YAWN!!

As well as the bow tie, you have to buy an import and fit it with gold wheels. Should suit you just fine.

Black Tie Means Formal Evening attire.

Black Dinner Jacket, troosers with white shirt and ... black tie. Doesnt have to mean a dicky bow and you can look cool by being different but still 'black and white'.

Have fun.

Mak.

You're having a laugh right

Your job, income and age, and you've never come accross a "Black Tie" event?

Not having a go, mate, just find this very strange.

(sshhhhh!! he's never been to one )

Pete,

black tie means: turn up naked wearing nothing but a black tie - surely you knew that?

MarkO

I thought black tie meant Jeans and a T-shirt?

(you lot have totally missed the wind-up opportunity...)

D Brown

It's the tradition amongst true gentlemen to wear their DJ troosers a little too short and the newest whitest socks you can find.

You'll notice the frequency of cocktail drinks with straws/umbrellas and ladies with low-cut ball gowns showing ample cleavage. Not by co-incidence that these are both present. Nothing shows your class and breeding better than, upon draining your glass, parking your used straw/cocktail stick/umbrella between the pillows and state "I'll be back for that later, pet."

ScoobyJawa

lol!!!

John Catlin

And this question from someone who used to brag about how he was a nightclub doorman?!

pslewis

Maybe I knew all along and was just seeing what quality of people I have to 'play' with!!

I am amazed at what you lot rememeber about me

Brendon - The particular nightclubs in question were hardly Black-Tie venues!! I suppose my Bouncer attire would suffice? I just look like a ageing thug! Would like to look like Clive Dunn sometimes!

Pete

Brendan Hughes

Clive Dunn?!

Pete, if it said Black Tie, then flat cap is not usually included!

David Lock

Sure it's not a funeral Pete?

Rusty Festa

You wear them on special occassions - like corners

pslewis

Get off my corner you little s...................... calm down

Pete

Rusty Festa

Morning

there's another thread about tiredness if you want it
