'i dont wear red'

[Shetland Owl]

Never wear red. My grandad a big Owls fan in the 1940 bought a suit and which cost him 1/2 months wages, after he got it home he realised it had a very thin red line so he never wore it. Also would never use Red matches only blue ones

I can’t believe people  actually don’t wear red. Same for united fans that don’t wear blue. It’s weird.

 

Match days I get it, you’re showing your support and it’s almost tribal and you wear your colour. Everyday life though, oh dear.

[Hookowl]

I've red read all of these posts.

I don’t own a single piece of red clothing, I always avoid the red & white straws at the cinema and I paid extra to have my old car that I bought new resprayed from red to white, my current car is blue. 

 

Thats the honest truth.

I've got some red and white pants.

 

I think it's fine having anything of that colour, as long as you are swinging your sweaty balls against it.

 

Best place for Red and White on an arsehole or a wee pipe.

 

Dont own anything red and never have my family including in laws know it’s a no-go area for me.

Wasn't allowed red clothes as a kid and not really bought anything red since thinking about it.

 

Re. more recent times, I stopped watching ballet through sadness when Sinton went although I've recently been turned back on through Boyd's influence.

I think with a lot of people me included it’s not like we see something nice but refuse to buy it thinking I can’t buy that it’s in the pigs colours but subconsciously, you’ve been brought up not liking red because of the pigs and now without even thinking you’ll dismiss anything in red without even realising it

Don't worry.

 

When I wear them I pick my arse incessantly and occasionally wet myself... To be honest I occasionally wet myself regardless of my choice of underwear.

Disappointed to see red in your avatar.

I never wear red, I think the only red item I have is an old England shirt which was reversible with blue on the other side. 

 

I think it's as much a fashion choice as a football one, I'm just not keen on red items. People who wear red trousers look ridiculous.

I once had to borrow a coat off a friend after setting off without one in what was decent weather. As the weather changed it became evident id need one. 

There was a sqwual raging as we pulled up in the car.

He lent me his 'emergency' jacket from the car boot.

Red.

I have never felt so paranoid.

I've never been a big fan of red clothes or cars.

 

I had a red coat once, when I was a kid, but didn't wear it much and although I then went on to have two red cars, I would never buy another.

 

The first was the original Golf and that one tried to kill me in a couple of different ways. The brakes failed twice, not sure if it was one side then the other, but the first time, I was coming up to the roundabout on Norton Lane near the big water tower, on my way to meet a mate at the Bagshawe arms when I saw a blue sports car with the sun roof down waiting at the roundabout and went to slow down before changing gear, when the brake pedal went flat to the floor and nothing was happening. It was one of those moments when time slows down and I had my hand on the handbrake ready to pull it on, when luckily the car in front pulled out and I was able to hurtle round the roundabout with the handbrake on just a couple of clicks to help slow me down. It was a nasty experience that.

 

The next time they failed was not so bad and easily sorted, but then the throttle return spring broke and I had to stick my foot under the accelerator pedal to lift it up and stop the car from revving before I dropped it out of gear and finally got it to stop. People I shot past gave me looks as though they thought I was a nutter, revving it up to the hilt as I overtook them only to slow down and stop at the side of the road, a bit further on! I had to fix it using a couple of bits of wire and a rubber band.

 

Stupidly I then had a red escort which gave me one problem after another, before I finally offloaded it to a mate who begged me to sell it him even though I told him it was no good. He had years of reliable service out of it. OK, but I have never had any serious trouble with any other cars I have had and never had an accident of note, until somebody ran into me on the A1 a few years back causing minor damage when the traffic came to a stop and they didn't. The only other accident I had was writing off a brand new hire car while working abroad, when a drunk driver hit me just minutes after setting off and that car too was a red one. Never again.

Match day, I wear blue and white stuff anyways cos well.. it's match day.

Other than that, i don't mind red at all.

Both royal blue and a rich red are classic colours that any modern man has to have available in his wardrobe. 

Ain't that right fellow fashionistas??

I think the story is they spotted Jessica Ennis shopping on the moor.

 

The rest as you say is history

Well that’s some messed up, deep seeded conditioning.

 

As a kid I didn’t wear or like red because of Wednesday. Then I became an adult. I wouldn’t let something like a rivals colour influence a decision. 

 

If people dismiss red without realising maybe just think about it logically when dismissing the idea. Retrain you brain.

No need to buy red when there are a bunch of others available. I've had to change my travel agent too since the pigs hyjacked teletext holidays last year.

When at the cinema and choosing a stray always choose blue and white, never red and white

They hand them out now and I grudgingly take the red ones when they give them to me instead of demanding a blue one :(

[HIGHERSTATE]

I've got the odd bit of red on some of my clothes but not the full thing and especially not with white stripes

 

Red is a garish colour anyway.

 

I wore a bobble had to Hilsbrough a couple of times that had a bit of red writing on it.  The lads I know on the kop wouldnt shut up about it.

[East Suffolk Owl]

Could never wear red my stomach turns at the thought.. From time to time I've been bought the odd item of red clothing that looks pretty nice I'll even try it on and say yes it's lovely!!

But deep down i know it wont even be made use of as a rag in the garage it's destiny is sealed unloved never worn at the bottom of the bin as soon as I set eyes on it. 

And it's hereditary my sons suffer with the same condition .. UTO
