OK, kind of on a tangent from bluexxx's "how to wear the pins" thread.... but i have seen Ice Pie has already been asked what the pin is about by some Canadians on a train back from the Notts munch, and someone at work asked me what the pin was for... soooooo ..... do you tell the truth? or do you just remain coy? Or do you tell an outright fib?
People asking about the SH pins is going to come up again and again i think... so maybe we need some "stock" answers for those who get asked by their mates, workmates and erm.... mothers.... :shock:
When i was asked, i replied "it's just a badge"... and on further questioning i just repeated my first answer....
What are you going to say?????
Just say some bloody Londoner stuck it in you when you were down there........ apparently it's sommat to do with the Olympic bid .......... or am I getting that confused with midlandsman's attempt to shag every woman in the UK???
Bloody hell Freckles, that's a bit too near the mark isn't it :shock:
Do Blue Peter still give out badges?
"It's a club I belong to"
"Yes, I could tell you which club, but then I'd have to kill/fuck* you"
*depending on circumstance.
I meant that if you were talking to someone you didn't really know who could be a member, they would guess that you are in full knowledge of what it means if you said something with the same initials.
I'd tell them it's a member's badge from a website forum I'm on - family would get the Christopher Brookmyre forum - everyone else ( and some family ) would get sent here, told to join and enjoy the social atmosphere ( forget the free love and rampant shagging! )
