kazaddress Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 oh that newsletter today really brightened my day! >> Omlet Boxer Shorts You might be wondering who on earth is modelling these slinky boxer shorts. Unfortunately he would like to remain anonymous. These boxers fit a 30-32 inch waist. Made from a great new material that feels like silk but is actually 45% wood and 45% cotton and 10% lycra to make them a bit stretchy. >> 45% wood? i though boxers contained wood.. and was not made of it. Do you think they might have meant wool? really made me chuckle (all kind of rude thoughts flashed in mu mind). was feeling very down in the dumps.. but not anymore! lol lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I cant seem to get the newsletter But the thought of our chaps wearing wood boxers did make me smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I forwarded you a copy of mine Mel. Did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thanks Kate - I did. I am so sad that I got home from appointments today, logged onto the forum first, followed by my work e-mail, followed by my home e-mail Thanks for keeping me going in newsletters! Glad to see you now have a super computer to match your super pants (had to get a reference to pants in there from somewhere!!)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Not quite Mel! I'm still on the one out of the Ark. The new one arrived a couple of months ago. Was fantastic and computed at the speed of light for 6 weeks then went belly up! I've been on this one ever since. We had a very nice boffin come today from the computer company and he's fixed the new one but it's got no data at all on it anymore as it's had to have a new hard drive so I'm still plodding along on the prehistoric one until we can spend the weekend transferring everything onto the new one - again!

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Technology eh? Still really prefer old fashioned pen and paper (although it would cost me a fortune in envelopes and stamps to keep up with all these posts!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 45% wood? i though boxers contained wood.. and was not made of it. Do you think they might have meant wool? Wood pulp fibre can be used to make rayon so mixing it with cotton fibres before spinning would give a silky material I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I knew somebody could explain it better than me.........Spot on Trish it is the same material as the T shirts they are very clingy and stretchy......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
