Ok, here's my question: is it okay for holiday makers to strip off to the waist and walk around half-naked on holiday....I see these people all day long here....white skin, fresh off the plane, the first thing they do is strip down to their shorts, let their huge beer bellies hang out, and go strutting around the place as if it were an extension of their livingrooms back home....and it's not only the men, the wimmin do it too....seriously overweight, truly unattractive people just letting it all hang out while the locals wouldn't be seen dead without their shirts on....What's your opinion?...I'm really interested...in fact I will be sitting here in my soggy underwear sweating and waiting for your answers....angel laugh

Look...it's a question of aesthetics, morality, and tact...I think it looks uncultured to walk around in public where most people are dressed normally in summer clothing...and let's face it, if you are overweight, and not exactly a peach to look at, would you walk on the promenade in your bikini??...if I was walking on the sidewalk next to the beach with a girlfriend, I would feel uncomfortable if she was letting it all hang out...I think it's ok if you're a teenager....but I think adults should be more aware of other people's sensitivities...of course, at the beach it's all ok....





...even speedos...lol

I heard from a reliable source that this year Speedos should be worn with colour matching sock in your sandals, I imagine red would be nice, matching the sunburn on beer belly?

I think anything goes for the beach but people should be dressed appropriately when they are sightseeing and shopping, no matter what age they are. But I do agree that the young and/or beautiful can get away with pretty much anything sigh

Swan song

Meaning

A final gesture or performance, given before dying.

Origin

This term derived from the supposed behaviour of swans of singing beautifully and mournfully just before they die. This legend was well-known to be false as early as the days of ancient Greece, when Pliny the Elder refuted it in Natural History, AD 77:

"Observation shows that the story that the dying swan sings is false."

The imagery proved to be more attractive that scientific observation and many poets and playwrights have made use of it. Chaucer included this in a poem - "The Ialous swan, ayens his deth that singeth". Shakespeare used the tale in The Merchant of Venice, 1596:

Portia:
Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then, if he lose, he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.

Thomas Carlyle referred to the actual term 'swan song' in Sartor resartus, 1831:

"The Phoenix soars aloft,... or, as now, she sinks, and with spheral *swan-song immolates herself in flame."

Yes, it's that bad....I would describe it rather as the soft, flaccid, bloated wobbling beer paunch of Britain...
