Craigieboy Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 The wife brought my 4 year old a hooded top from Asda. Green & black checks. Vile. Without saying anything, I sort of turned my nose up at it. I didnae fancy it myself. Anyway. Comes back from work on Friday & whilst discussing the wee lads behaviour, she comments that on Friday morning, he threw a tantrum cause he didn't want to wear the top. I didn't think much more of it as he has a strop about a lot of stuff. So, just now, I takes the hooded top and asks him why he doesn't like it. "Because I don't like green. Thats hibs & Celtic". Mission accomplished on the old colour stakes me thinks! As the wife says, "once he gets something in his head". LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I had an argument with the other half on Friday when she bought us 2 new toothbrushes, A pink one for her and a Green one for me. I'm 28 and have never used a Green toothbrush in my life, I'm not about to start now. Silly cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a maroon toothbrush for years, the only green thing I would wear is boxers, cos no one can see them, and I'd hate skid marks on maroon ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_steve Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'm a bit like that ... don't have any green clothes, don't think there's anything green in the house at all ... heck, I won't even eat green sweeties ! .... maybe I'm just sad ? not really even anything to do with hibs... just don't like green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 my old fella was out with me looking at cars when i was 21. i looked at a red motor and there was a green one of the same car but with a bigger engine, a bit newer but with 20 or so thousand miles on the clock. he asked me why i hadn't even considered it. "its ******* green" was my obvious reply, at that he patted me on the back and told me he was proud of me. well done, at least your teaching your boy right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A football team playing in green looks so ****ing stupid. Like a whole team of goalkeepers. On the other hand, the dark, rich maroon colour of Hearts is just so much classier. Most people will agree. Green with white sleeves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medico Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You've obviously taught him well! Don't think I own any green clothes at all, normally refuse to even look at them and walk straight past in shops. Have to say i do sometimes wonder if I've gone slightly too far when i try to refrain from using green pens/pencils, post-it notes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvonnejambo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 My house has never had anything green in it and my son has never owned any item of clothing that is green. I also am a person who doesn't eat green sweets. My car until recently was only bought because it was maroon and my living room is a maroon suite with white cushions, carpet etc, some say im obsessed I think its normal behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 My Garden. I rmember my dad painted a Hearts crest on a 2ft x 2ft slab. A total work of art so it was. He placed it on a slope right in the centre of the rockery. You are going back a bit but he also painted Bart Simpson wearing a Hearts top & shorts & put it in his hut.

Cigaro Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 No green clothes. I avoid the colour whenever possible. The wee guy across the road thought green was a swear word when he was wee. No idea who told him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRL1969 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Good work Stairboy. Nowt green in this house either mate. My wee lassie was taught at 2 that green was "yuk" she still does it now at 8. She even gives away her green sweeties. Used to ask her when just 2 years old, where does your poos go ? easter road she replied. Clever lassie.

jamboron Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Tell her that you`ll either report her to Social Services for cruelty to children , or you`ll divorce her if she tries to get the wee man to wear anything green.

redm Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I have an instinctive aversion to the colour green and always have done. I don't like to think that it's ALL about Hibs and such things, I try to convince myself that it's just an unpleasant colour and that it doesn't go with my colouring but I dunno...it's ingrained, that's for sure. For example, I have borrowed my dad's car and need to return it to him but I can't be bothered doing it tonight so I'd have to do it tomorrow morning...but the car's green...I can't drive a GREEN car on match day. Pfft. What a dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
