before you roll your eyes - Birthdays are big things to me. BIG. I spend 6 months of the year looking forward to my birthday and 6 months of the year feeling sad the day went by so quickly.
So I decided present 24 things I have learnt (or should have learnt) by now in several parts... And we will begin with this one which was pre-tested on Heather who agrees with me.
1. Never buy your boyfriend a pink shirt.
He will only not wear it and hurt your feelings or else wear it to stop you complaining and feel like a flower all day. I sat and listened to a group of girls discuss how each of them had bought a really fashionable pink shirt for their boyfriends and none of their boyfriends would wear it. tut tut tut silly girls!
The logic here is that as fashionable as the metrosexual lads look in pretty pink, if guys really wanted to wear pink they would all be rushing off to Woolworths in crowds, picking up the first pink shirt off the pile, holding it up to see it it is more or less the right size and paying for them.
Lads only have 5 colours in their wardrobes white, black, brown, navy and grey. and why so few colours? Have you seen a guy wearing a green jersey, a red shirt, blue trousers and yellow socks - they look silly (like they finally started dressing themselves). And so we help them out by limiting their wardrobe colour spectrum to 5 safe colours that all go together nicely.
I will confess that there is a chap at work who wears yellow socks - it's a whimsical addition to his fashionable ensemble He seems to enjoy wandering around the office with his hands in his pockets in such a manner that you get a lemon coloured glimpse when he comes to speak to me - "Yes Sir, I am staring at your feet"

just for the record; red, orange and yellow socks are VERY fashionable in certain circles. If you were a London banker you would not be seen dead without your shocking socks
