Come on. It is a minor attempt at qualification, which doesn’t always  apply. Especially on here.

I just gave my opinion, I don't regard chaps who post the odd facebook status when Leinster reach a semi final or final as supporters Wink

I have many friends who attend rugby games and best of luck to them, I hope they enjoy tonight.

Ok. Aye. I doubt the 80 year old granny is on Facebook so thats a bit stupid really. But lots of people do it. Is it for attention? Neediness. I dont know. I really dont care. Anyway. But......

Happy 80th Birthday Granny was accompanied with a photo of children all dressed up hold big '80' balloons and such.

When you go into a mens clothes shop (usually the quieter smaller independent ones) and the second you walk in the door you feel the eyes latch onto you.  You are the only customer in the shop and yer man is chomping at the bit to flog you gear.  If you as much as look at a shirt the shop owner pounces on you trying to get you to try it on.  Picking up a shirt and laying your hands on it to them translates as a commitment to buy said item and they are on you like a fly on sh*t trying to get you the right size and fussing about you.  Next thing you know you are in the fooking dressing room trying on stuff you dont even like or want and you just know the awkwardness is coming up when you make your excuses to get out of the sale.  ''Ah it's not my style.  Think I will leave it. Thanks anyway'' as you make a getaway to the front door as you hand back the garments.   You feel the eyes burning a hole int he back of your head as you leave the store and you mentally note that this shop is now off your browsing list in future.

"Just having a look around thanks". Shop assistant gets the message and as Rossie said, is glad to get back behind the counter.

Dunno.  Being the shy unassuming lad that I am too brittle to stand up to the onslaught of pressure.  And the shops here (wont name the 2 shops that come to mind) the fella working is usually the owner so he definitely wouldn't be glad to be back behind the counter. The enthusiasm from him and desperation to sell you stuff is overpowering.

Spending thousands on clothes out of pity for the owner and debilitating shyness .Online shopping your only option.

The reason I buy nearly everything online now, I can't be dealing with it. Then the wonder why the 'high street' os struggling! I always think of Graham Linehan's acting cameo as a customer in 'Black Books', it is how I feel every time I make the mistake of walking into a shop.

Sounds like you should be hoping that the 2026 world cup goes to USA/Canada/Mexico! LOL

If you think your small-shop experience here was bad, it'll be worse in Morocco, especially in those souks. I was on a cruise visit to Agadir a number of years ago and my memories of that combined with a couple of holidays in Tunisia showed why I'd rather go transatlantic if we qualify. 

Everywhere I went, I was being absolutely pestered by shop and stall owners to have a look at their wares and they wouldn't take 'I'm just looking' for an answer until I'd moved on a fair distance to the next stall/shop..it was hard work just trying to blank the c**ts.Dead

The Souks in Morocco are great, you can haggle there. When you can start haggling in the local clothes shop then I will warmly embrace their overenthusiasm, until then they can f**k off!

I see your point, certainly in comparing with not being able to haggle here but it would be great if the shop and stall owners owners in countries like Morocco and Tunisia would cool their jets (for the want of a better phrase) and leave people to browse in peace till they find something they actually want and then haggle away.  

Meanwhile, TJ is probably breaking out in a cold sweat reading this thread now. LOL

Always found it was part of the game, in Morocco at least. I always enjoyed it and rarely bought anything!
