Am allergic to Dustin Hoffman.

As you know Stephen has worn them for ever, but recently bought hot-pant type swimming trunks!! Not sure if you'll think they are better or worse?? I don't mind speedo types. I like the idea that it's all contained in the one place, rather than swimming next to a guy with bermuda types on and knowing that it's all flapping about underneath....! You know, 'on the loose'!

you're too kind RS, to think of us!!!!

I am technologically challenged, so you'll have to pm me with your email address and I'll attach to my reply. Quite sure there's an easier way but not with my brain in charge.

the spaghetti strapped one, natch?

Should have said, pm me your email address and I will email back a pic of it!

why aren't you at college?!

Leezy was joking that we should get a pair of tartan boxers and sew the leg bits on!! :roftl:

Me, leezy and kath are all wearing lollipop t-shirts to the Glasgow gig on May 16th. We designed them ourselves online and they have a colourful lollipop on the front and on the back it says 'HEY! What's the big idea?'. The website has various styles of t-shirts; kath has gone for a normal T and me and leezy are going for spaghetti-strapped ones. I can't do links, but if anyone wants to see what we're going to be wearing (and place an order with that website, it only takes 4-5 days), then PM me. It could be a MFC 'thing'!!!

Does anyone know who the guy is who is part of all the dancing at the end, but he just looks like a really ordinary, off the street bloke?

Well, we have a great material shop in Kirkcaldy which will have the best range of patterns available. It's a HUGE shop. So me and Leezy are going there this weekend. If not, I guess scg's suggestion is our only option. It will work well with the leg bit, but the other bits would be very difficult to do just by copying (no matter how many times those bits may have been studied by us all!)

I did find one for jeans type things, but the smallest waist size was 36, and the largest inside leg was 32 or 34 - can't remember!

Right girls, I need you to calm me down again. I've just googled for the last half hour to find sewing patterns for men's trousers and I've come up with a big zilch unless you want to see Mika wearing casual slacks. Trunks?? Why on earth would you get a sewing pattern and make trunks??? My brain is fried. Am off to gym.

Black balaclavas and mission impossible music at the ready. Girls, we're going in!!!

Oh help, it was hard enough putting the biker smilies on! Will have a look at that tomorrow!

I'm only on here at this time cos I made chocolate chip cookies and I reckon that buys me about 10 minutes on here!

Was speaking to our friend in RL, Julia, yesterday. She's coming to gig in May but never comes on here. She suggested buying tartan trousers and putting patches on with messages from us all? Just thought I'd pass it on. I think I need to study a pattern. That will calm my nerves and negative thoughts. Got a text from Kath - having a lovely time in Las Vegas and is wondering if we've got the material yet!!

That is what is so funny about this. We all got so excited about making tartan trousers and then slowly we all realised that none of us has ever made trousers before!!

Someone to call if we need help?! I may need a therapist after all this! Hang on, isn't mgpm a psychologist or something along those lines?? I may need regular sessions, particularly concentrating on discussing my issues with waistbands, pockets and flies.....

I've got a great idea. Why don't we buy the material and pattern, cut it all out and pin it all together, then give THAT to Mika on 16th May? Who are we to say he's not a whizz with a sewing machine??

Freddie, if you can offer any assistance on trouser making, we'd be grateful!

Rainbow, I know, it's ridiculous how real life takes up so much time!!! This is becoming part of real life though.....!!!

I'm panicking again. All that's going round my head is POCKETS, BUTTONHOLE, WAISTBAND, FLY!!!!! Excuse my ignorance of such matters, but how do you get the thigh size right? I mean Mika's got really skinny legs, but you could be a 6' 4" guy with really fat thighs. Think we need to get an actual pair of Mika trousers sent to us by Martin so's we can measure up. Can you imagine the scene at leezy's if we had an actual pair of his trousers on the table?? UNWASHED!!!!

Hi Satu, me and leezy and kath are going to wear t-shirts with lollipops on the front and our forum names underneath, and on the back it's going to have 'Hey! What's the big idea?' Do you want us to get one for you too? It will cost about £25 (expensive I know) and we will need to know whether you want a v-necked t-shirt, normal t-shirt or spaghetti strap t-shirt.

I am over my panic attack. What about this idea? You know I was intending to get tartan boxers, maybe personalised for Martin to throw on stage due to him wearing kilt etc? Well, you know how he's just had a baby? What about a wee cute tartan babygro? How cute would that look held up on stage? What do you think? Am going to try to source tonight.
