Alan_R Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Is it just me or do any fellow jambos avoid the colour green? My mrs brought in new tooth brushes the other day, pack of two- green and pink. Ive never used a green toothbrush in my life i told her, Im not about to start now! so she said I could choose... green or pink... thats like asking which hand would you rather get cut off if you had to choose. I'll be buying my own toothbrush tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I,ve got a green travel tooth-brush, but when you see the gunk that goes into my mouth when I,m away you just wouldn,t wish it on a maroon one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helzibob Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 When my sister got married 8 years ago she decided she wanted me to wear a green bridesmaid dress. I refused told her where to go and I ended up wearing maroon. There was no chance of me wearing green, didn't particularly want to wear maroon, just worked out that way.

The Future's Maroon Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 yep me too, I ask the shopkeeper to change the lighter if he tries to hand me a green one, I dont own any clothes which are green? In my old house the other half bought a green shower cutrain - never got put up?! I hate it - quiet sad, but thats the way it is?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckauskas Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 My Northern Ireland tops are green. I might have a green United 'keepers top. Thats the extent I'd stretch to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I've got my 3 yr old son referring to green as "stinky green". The Bread Knife was not best chuffed at this piece of harmless indoctrination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who does not threaten his toddler with the naughty step but tells him if he's bad he will make him wear a hibs top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottish_chicP Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I usually avoid green at all costs but I bought a green dress for my 21st 2 years ago because I loved it and everytime someone came into my party I got the same "why are you wearing that!?"

kannymann1 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This is a very childish thread........ I utterly and wholeheartedly refute the suggestion that on Thursday, July 3rd at "Asda" stores in the town of Dunbar, I stuck my fingers in a Hobo birthday cake and wiggled them around. I did not take part in this barbaric act: it was not me............Just because it had green and white icing and stuff did not compel me to behave so fiendishly........ It was also too sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_steve Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 never eat green sweets, refuse green lighters, don't own any green clothes.... in fact for as long as I can remember, I've tried not to let my bare feet walk on green grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It's irrational, childish and very, very silly. Just at lunchtime today I was standing in shop with a lovely half-price linen jacket in a colour that I've been told would suit me. I swithered for two minutes, then said "I just can't...." and hung it back up. You can take it too far, though. You know how chopping boards in restaurant/hotel kitchens have to be colour coded? I know a hun hotel owner who actually doesn't have a green one......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flimsy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Whether it's a Hibs thing or superstition or just that it's a minging colour, I don't have any green clothes and haven't since I was a boy. Same goes for toothbrushes etc, I even object to using the green pieces when I play board games with my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Tucker Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Same here! I only have one t-shirt with one letter that is green and that's it! I was in the same situation as the OP as well, choose pink or green. I now brush my teeth with the finest pink toothbrush there is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Seeger Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have a green car, couple of green t-shirts, a green lighter and green bogeys. Yet I can still live safe in the knoledge that I hate Hibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Never touch the colour. It's a symbol of everything that is wrong with Edinburgh. Teach the kids the same. Ban it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ashamed to admit i have a green car. But when 'chaffed' about it by h++s mates, i simply reply it cost a couple of thousand quid less than a 'maroon' one! ps, It was the wife who picked it!
