I caused quite a stir in the playground when I appropriated this t-shirt of Bobo's. "But you're not a man, you're a woman," they cried. No shit, Sherlock lol!
Actually, when I wore it for the first time (to a step class) I wasn't familiar with its origins. I was only wearing it so I could blend quietly into the background and have my lack of co-ordination ignored. Surrounded by fake tanned, Nike crop topped toned bodies, I was mortified when the teacher called out, "like the t-shirt, it's from the Prisoner, isn't it?" at the very moment I was stepping in the opposite direction to the rest of the class. And there I was thinking I was adopting a message from Amnesty International!
Have you ever been caught out wearing your other half's t-shirt? And if so, did you get the message on it, or did it pass way over your head?

Husband's t-shirts are always naughty, so I never get caught wearing them out! Cool shirt, but sounds like quite the attention-grabber.
p.s. I like the boa-draped bookshelf in your new banner photo. :)

We never went in for T shirts with messages. We don't usually wear each other's either as we are very different shapes. But Jenny's got some lovely shirts and blouses I would love to borrow if I was a girlie!
Your T shirt made me think immediately of Nazi Germany and the numbers that were tattooed on to all the prisoners. A slightly unfortunate association, I wonder if anyone at your class thought the same?

I'm afraid I saw that T-shirt and knew exactly what it was!! Not only has Chris got the entire box set (Not that I'm complaining...was a brilliant series!!) we have also visited Portmeirion where it was filmed!!
I don't wear Chris's T-shirts but have been known to 'borrow' his jumpers!!

I wouldn't have known either. the only thing I know about the prisoner is the big ball - which is unfortunate as we use big balls in circuits and they tend to follow you.

My imaginary husband Nigel Havers never wears T-shirts. But in the imaginary world in which I am married to him I'm very thin and I often lounge around on Sunday mornings wearing one of his white shirts reading the paper.

Angie: It was, and the not the type of attention I was seeking. My bookcase has a terminal case of leany books.
Amy: Cool! What's mine is mine and what's his is mine. That's only fair isn't it?
Nick: It must be so frustrating, not being able to fit into woman blouses.
Given time, the Nazi Germany associations would probably have surfaced. Eight year olds can be so macabre.
Carol: And I bet you would never ever considering 'accidentally' shrinking one of his faves in the wash so you have to wear it?
Liz: Those big balls are just so disobedient, aren't they?
GVH: Nigel Havers eh? Would you be reading the Sunday Telegraph in your thatched cottage by any chance?
