What do you make of those lads that go around with a jumper draped around their shoulders? What`s their story?

Almost as bad as those who wear sunglasses perched on their heads, even in a pub at midnight.
They usually turn out to be shallow, pretentious, twats, whose sporting interests are the Heino cup and G.A.A. at AIF stage only. Oh, they also follow some team in the Premiership and use the term " we " when talking about them.

I work with a 40 something guy who occasionally comes in with his jumper like that, invariably with a Hillfiger or Ralph Loren Shirt underneath, looks like a bit of a prat to be honest. Like some kind of American college fratboy
I think they think it is sophisticated and makes them look young or something.

You must have some inferiority complex to start a thread on this fashion choice.

Do you wear your jumper like that? Goes well with the old Dubarry deck shoes?

My own current pet hate is lads who think they`re Melanie Griffith in Working Girl and wear runners with the suit to and from work.

Its a very cool look. Anyone who is bitter towards us should get a life.

I used to work with a die hard "Scouser" from Roscommon and "Gooner" from Westmeath. Pair of w**ers if ever there were.
As for the shades, lately I have noticed them being tucked into the v neck of jerseys or jumpers. Very annoying.

I have been known to wear the sunglasses on my head all day for three reasons. One, it is convenient. Two, bright glaring sun gives me migraine. Three, I have spent the price of a fine car on all the pairs of sunglasses I have sat on, lost or broken by taking them off my head. In the van I have a little holder which is fab. I like to think I am neither shallow or pretentious and I follow the GAA all year round. Watch a bit of rugger but know nothing about the premierschite and even when talking about Limerick I never use the the term `we`.

Couldn`t agree more.
This is an interesting insight alright. Couple years ago, I was home at a wedding, outside until the evening sunset, sunglasses on, came into the bar and had them perched on my head - not a fashion statement, twas better than breaking them in my pocket or walking 4 flights up to the hotel room. The friggin things cost me $10 at Logan Airport, hardly a D&G fashion statement. Two yahoos from where-else but Tipperary coudn`t wait to have a go and inquire "what was stuck on your head" and the who the fcuk do you think you are attitude.
I don`t know anyone that keeps glasses on their head or a sweater over ther shoulder except for practical reasons like weather changing. Is it really that different back home?
If things like this get on your gander, I suggest you get out a bit more you fool.

Hey TC where have you been? A bit tongue in cheek there from me but I do wear the glasses on my head for the reasons stated. Nothing worse than a migraine. Now that you mention it I do like Gin and Tonic, called supersonic around my way. So coined by the famous Pa `Bean` Cronin.

Couldn`t care less if you pierced your nipple and hung the sun glasses there, we have become a society that judges people on what they wear, what they drink and what they drive instead of what they say and what they do (not career wise ) , just pulling a bit of the p********************** out of you.
Gin and Tonic is nice these days alright with the sun peeking out.
What have I been at, drawing turf and getting ready for second cut

Dubious and all as it is, it`s still better than all these young lads walking around with their hands down their pants.

FFS.
This is the first time I heard anybody has a problem with shades perched on the head. I do that sometimes, and if it`s anybody else`s business (which it isn`t ) it`s because it was bright before, it isn`t bright now, and I have nowhere to put them without them getting crushed. Is that OK with you?
And I drink Gin & Tonic too. What of it? I like the taste of it and it doesn`t make me feel dehydrated and bloated like beer does. Is that OK with you?
This thread reminds me of why I`m glad I left a part of the world where it`s customary to pass remarks about people and their appearance or any time they do something out of the ordinary. I was in Rushmere Shopping Centre one time and bought a brimmed hat because I liked it and nobody in San Francisco would bat an eyelid at it. Within five minutes I had to take it off because of the stares and comments I was getting about it. It was just a f**=========ing hat!
It`s like the "oh look there`s a cyclist riding in his racing gear, let`s shout some abuse at him" brigade who sit their obese asses on the wall at the end of the street and leave it there all evening.
Would you prefer it if we all wore baseball caps and hoodies just to fit in better with your own narrow range of `acceptable ` clothing?
Mind yer own f**ing business!
End of rant.

While we`re ranting against the young people, how about those mullets that they have nowadays. Whats the story with that. The tips of it are dyed red or purple or something. And they do be wearing the long shorts with the floral pattern even in the nighttime!

I have no problem with shades on driving, out and about etc. but INSIDE on your head!! ALL DAY!!! NO!! The Italains go out with them on for f**k sake. I do notice Irish are a lot more hesitant to wear sunglasses, but I`d wear them driving a lot, even if the sun isn`t in my eyes, if it`s bright, I`ll wear them, doesn`t seem to tire the eyes.
I invested in a good pair in Aus, and no better folks to be wearing them all the time for obvious reasons..
It`s the women wearing them on the head at 10 pm on a Saturday night. Surely before they went out, they would have realised "oh no, I have shades on my head..."
PLus, bands or singers who wear them INSIDE playing a gig. What the f**k. Does my head in!!!

I ended up in a nightclub last saturday with sunglasses on me head. I didn`t make it home after a day at the beach. It wasn`t in Ireland so no-one gave a sh1te. big deal.
There is such a thing as eye cancer you know (people with blue/green eyes more susceptible ) so a good pair of sunglasses are just common sense. I don`t really understand why people would leave them on their head if they`ve somewhere handy to put `em but what of it
There is something peculiar about Ireland that brings out the "who does he think he is" / "it`s far from (sunglassses on the head ) he was reared" mentality.
