Gosh! It took a professional to tell us that getting off with somebody means you want to get into their drawers! ;-)

Completely freaky!!!

Most guys just look at her cup size and how much they can get her to drink.

Now, if you managed to examine her holey underwear while she's wearing them, well, let's give the girl a chance.

Japanese ladies are mostly fully conversant with the "Girl Friend's Manual". Alway look your best as "you never know when Mr. Right will come by". Or "Mr. Not Quite Right" as the case may be. Laugh at your jokes, admire your car, sing out, "Left OK" at the appropriate time. Get that wrong and they’re walking. Give an unequivocal, "I don't smoke" as the safest option. Dress older to match your age. Make with the, “You’re so decisive” type of up-market flattery. Plus the usual stand close, make eye contact, give you the “how I admire English gentleman” routine. I’ll give you just two months to stop doing that, Love. So predictable, if only they’d forcefully disagree just occasionally.
The underwear issue is so last season when it's, "You having a bath or shower?" No excuse for tatty underwear here in Japan. Pair of pants, vest and socks for £1.25 the lot, thanks to Chinese garment imports. Not quite Calvin Klein, but at least it’s cheaper to chuck um than wash um.

I would have thought that being found rummaging through someone's knicker drawer would be a guaranteed way to get the elbow. They'd be thinking you were a "snowdropper" in your spare time.

-- that being found rummaging through someone's knicker drawer ..

Ah so, Guga. Ye maun understaun' the psychology o wir scoattish east-coast male!

Daft! Completely daft and dopey even!

There's nothing wrong wi' holey knickers, as long as the elastic's elastic!

This doesn't really hold for men - we hate shopping - so we do it as little as possible. So naturally, it's only when our underwear it's falling apart that we buy a new pair.

And I don't know about other men, but I don't have any particularly fancy underwear - It's bought for practicalities rather than showing off.

I take pride in my appearance - but that's the point, you generally don't see my underwear.

If she is getting to see my drawers then surely things are going well anyhow.

There is nothing wrong with holes in knickers, as long as they are in the right place ;)

Grubby smalls? I wash mine daily!

Unlike my pants which I usually boil twice a year....

I do'nt need a survey to tell that when I get back to his place and his long johns are full of holes and skid marks ,his CD colection is Andy Stewart and Barry Manilow ,that I will be out of there sharpish.

Eh hello? would this maybe be yet another oh so thinly veiled Advertisement from our marvellous national newspaper the Scotsman, this time for the 'upmarket lingerie boutique Boudiche in Edinburgh's Frederick Street'

Clare Thommen ('a director' of the shop) is obviously a pal of the so-called journalist who put together this flimsy, nae holey 'story'

"Excuse me while I go and rummage through yer knickers drawer". Get real.

Peter Spelton: Have you ever had a girlfriend?

If so, are you still with her?

Or have you had several girlfriends over the years?

If so, why so many if you are the expert on women?

I think your a fake!

I bet that Jennifer Anniston found perfectly good underwear in Brad Pitts cupboard and vice versa.

So what happened?

"She's after someone who can care for children, so she needs someone who is capable and able to create income for the family."

It's always about the money in the end.

Hey. for the record actually never met or spoken to Raymond before yestereday when he called and asked me for some comment for their feature. I think it was on back of some report recently published. But for the record he seems like a nice bloke. Sorry Tammie. Clare aka 'a director'...

Hey ClareT - you may find that you HAVE indeed met or spoken to Raymond before - wasn't he the one who came in with the funny glasses, false nose and raincoat - looking for a particularly MANLY size of frillies??!!!

;o)

Men dont' still wear vests do they?..and string vests aaaaaaargh!!!....why????

I sense the anti gay lobby in here; anyway get caught stealing from the washing line and then its Chambers Street for you son!
And if really unlucky- in front of me!!!!

Guga - I'm but an innocent - explain what a snowdropper is . . .

Tammie, did somebody steal your lolly when you were young - you seem a bit bitter.

#22 & #23 That definition in that dictionary is not very exact. The term is commonly used, in Australia, to mean someone who steal women's underwear, particularly the knickers, from clothes lines.
