Now if you have a blemish, askin the wife for a dab of foundation (think thats what its called  ) does the trick.
Gabriel - Manbag accepted (im sure that makes you feel much better ) - but lets just call it a bag.

Lets get something straight here, there are no such thing as "man bags" they are hand bags and have been called handbags from the beginning of time!  It does not make men who carry them manly if you call them man bags.
I just don't understand them.  What do yous have to carry that can't go into your pockets?

In mine this morning

Mobile Phone
Wallet
House Keys
mp3 Player
Newspaper
Lunch
Work papers

I'd love to know what size pockets you have in your trousers Pints

I'll give you the work papers otherwise I'd have the rest to work myself -
Phone - pocket
Wallet - pocket
Keys - pocket
Mp3 player - pocket
Paper - plastic bag
Lunch - plastic bag

Perhaps an exception can be made for the man bag, if for example you live in a huge city and use public transport. Then I can see needing some sort of recepticle for carrying stuff - still, Im a backpack man myself.

[those big scarfs with the big knot]

Fellas who drink wine in a pub and fellas who wear those big scarfs with the big knot..Its usually D4 types or students who ya see wear them.They are usually gray,I can't find a picture on the web to show
Also anyone who wears those jeans with all the cuts and rips in them wtf is that all about?

[Coloured boots on the football pitch]

Thats a decent start exile but you can add the following :-

Manicure
Eye-brow plucking
Diamond earring (any other sort is not metrosexual, merely queer or tinkerish)
Any hair product that costs over a fiver
The use of a hair dryer
Any jewellery outside a watch - chain isn't allowed - they all look shit even if you think yours doesn't
Coloured boots on the football pitch
You've included tanning but this needs to be stressed even more - this is a trend that is growing and more people do it than you would imagine (i'm not one of them!!)

Have to admit i had coloured boots when i was playing ...Blue and White Puma Kings

Is that the soccer coming out in you?!
I occasionally wear the white and blue predators, but ONLY for soccer. Dont know If id dare bring them out back at St Endas - especially with the shaved chest...

Recently

That's a bloke Gab.

Hairdryer - yes
Hairstraightener - yes
But what about a st judes medal on a chain - should I be taking that off?

Are we calling mugsy metrosexual? Whats the consensus on tattoos while we are at it?

40$ for 16 fusion blades. I like them cos its less scraping. That last sentence sounded like it belonged on the metrosexual thread.
Realistically the law of averages suggest you might cut the shite out of yourself no matter what you use.
have a work mate (spurs fan) whose thinking of getting that elecrolosis done. Now that doesnt sound like a great idea to me.

In order of metrosexual (and subsequent unacceptability) magnitude id go with
1. Any type of nail treatment
2. Shaving the chest/self tanning (outside of psoriasis treatment)
3. Fully waxing the legs and body (outside of swimming/atheltics and I dont know how many of us here that applies to)
4. Using any type of specialist shampoo (outside of dandruff/grease control)
5. Shaping the eyebrows


Honourable mentions:
Manbags. You can have one, but at least pretend its for school or something. Or have a lap top in it, or at least a bunch of important looking papers. Dont just have keys, wallet, and cell phone in there, cos you may as well have a lipstick and mascara.


Sac and crac wax - A craze made famous by the reality TV show, the salon. On one very obvious level (the fact that it might encourage the mrs to pay a little more, ehm lip service) Id be for it. However, unless it was accompanied by the unacceptable action stated in point numbers 2&3 - I think it would look a little more than ridiculous. Hair ass farmer tanned legs, big old hairy belly, but testicles as smooth as eggs... Just wrong.

This is alot of fun, Im heading out to gig here in a couple of hours and I just picked up a few new ones!

1. No one else....... Weezer

9. Head over feet......... Alanis Morrisette
10. Orange blossom special... Knotty Pine String Band.

It's a fair enough team, but the Irish News team have let themselves down in selecting a midfielder at wing-forward. Sean Cavanagh was either one of the two best midfielders in Ulster or he wasn't.

He interchanged alot, so he was either one of the best midfielders, or he was one of the best wing half forwards.... Which he was.

Couldnt have left them to fend for themselves, Id have been gutted (or they might have been) they are only 6 months old!
Im living in Reno, over in nevada.
Gaaboard hero of the week is a bit much though, I dont know that I could handle that particular mantle.

What's the problem it was only a bear..Aren't they all cute and cuddly

Like madonna...

I didnt have to, the fecker shat on my deck. , but who am I to argue!

Suitably shamed then ziggy - while not actually crapping the pants, It was a while before I got back to sleep.
