 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi fellow SnowHeads!!
I am looking for a horrendous one-piece skisuit, and was wondering whether anyone has one that is sitting in the back of a cupboard that they'd want to get rid of?
I'm after a nice bright one, perhaps with faded flourescent colours, awful patterns (or something equally bad). I'm about 5' 11" (male), so I guess it'd have to be a medium or large. Here are a couple of examples:

I'm happy to pay a bit if the right one comes up (and obviously for postage)...
Any offers?! 
Nick.
PS. Pictures would be great...

wns198, I don't have any for blokes (though if you know a girlie who's looking for one...) - try ebay, that's where most  s buy theirs.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Great idea! Thanks for the advice.
Have you got a girlie one(s) then? I know there's a couple of girls coming who might be interested!!

wns198, Can I ask why you want them? Is it for a fancy dress party or something?

You'll need to Register first of course.

I just like it! 
No...not really! It is fancy dress - there's about 12 of us going, so if you see a load of people in the airport in onesies, that'll be us!
...and obviously due to their practical nature, they would stop the snow going down our backs...

You gain some serious brownie points for that idea 
Those suits deserve a come back!

wns198, for you and all the EoSB'ers looking for fartbags, they have them in some branches of TKmaxx at the moment. Obviously they won't sell and so will end up in the clearance so should be quite cheap. I have seen them in the Manchester Trafford branch on the retail park on the opposite side of the moterway to Chill Factor e and also in the Blackburn branch. I will keep a look out and check the prices next time I am in.

wns198, I have several (can't believe I admitted that  ) - would be happy to sell 1 or 2, or even just rent them to you! Drop me a pm if you're interested, with an e-mail address so I can send photos. I'm away 24 Jan - 6 Feb - what's your time scale?

Ha ha!! Thank you for all the responses!!
That's a great tip about TKMaxx - I'll let the rest of the group know.
Just to give an idea of timescale, frustratingly we're not off until March, so we've got bags of time...my mind just started drifting off to the slopes whilst I was bored at work! (Glad it did now!)
Maybe we should start a fartbag revolution??! 
(I might live to regret suggesting that...)

This any use - or perhaps not extreme enough?

That is quality!! I notice it's got an integral hood... I particularly like the contrasting arms and chest panels.
I'lm definitely going to bear it in mind as a contender... Thank you!

Hi fellow Fartbaggers!
How's the onesie revolution coming along? Thank you for all the responses! I'm going in a just three and a bit weeks now, and am so excited about the prospect of donning a bag!
If anyone else has any more suitably awful ones that they'd like to get rid of, there's a couple more of my group who are struggling to find a decent one.
As always, any help would be gratefully received! 
Nick.

Really?! I might try and track her down...using a satellite might work!
Interestingly I did notice a few onesies creeping into the underground during the snowy period!! Very odd!!

All French ski apparel shops - even the most smart - sell one piece suits. There's a fairly fantastic one in our local Sue Ryder at the moment - they are often to be found in charity shops.

wns198, I need to mention that the fartbag shown (airpush) would be a great buy - because that particular make is incredibly comfy - mr rpft has a navy one (quite subtle really ) and I sneak it in the bag every year (big confession). When (not if) I am really hungover, I wear it because it is so comfy & easy to wear .

possibly better for someone 6ft (I am 5f 10) - but otherwise makes me look like the God on Planks I am....

that's no problem, the Nora Batty look is all the rage; especially if the crutch drags a bit.

Yes, sure is. It's 44" chest, about 33" leg I think. YOu can have it for the price of the postage - or if you are fairly close you can come and get it - I'm in the KT4 postal area

Haven't had time to read all of this but you mention girlies and I might have something suitable tucked way if I can find it - white all in one with green and purple stripe on chest and sleeve I think, and kind of elasticated naff cuffs - it came from C and A and would fit someone about 5 ft 4 size 10/12 ish.
