Oh Noooo! The White Knight RIP

tallaght01

I'm gutted. Today, I made a fatal error. I put my fave white shiny tracksuit (known as "The white knight" to me mates) in the wash with me red and white sunderland jersey. The white knight is now the pink knight! Well, only the arse of it is discoloured. So, basically I know have a shiny white tracksuit with a bright pink arse. Thanks for listening to me at this difficult time.

you can get some stuff in the supermarket (cant remember what its called - but you'll find it with all the detergents) you mix it with water and soak the infected clothes in it...
worth a try if you truly love your "white knight"...

All is not lost...I would say the best plan is to put in in with something black and turn yourself into a 'Black Knight'. Black is the new white annway

I would say, a white tracksuit, jaysus, couldn't be arsed with the maintainance

White shiny tracksuits are the king of tacky.

SDomething only black gangsters can pull off.

Think of it as an opportunity.

Most scumbag fashions seem literally incomprehensible the first time you see an example of them on the street (eg those ridiculous looking stripy hoodys, or women walking around the city in their pyjamas) but then as more and more scumbags follow suit it eventually becomes almost 'normal' in appearance.

This is your chance to be the latest chav trendsetter. You could be "the pink queen" of Dublin City.

Um, he's a boy (and a doctor, iirc). Enough of the knacker jokes, they're petty and vaguely ridiculous.

tallaght01

what does iirc mean? But, yes, the legend that is the OP wasn't lookin for opinions on the white knight's fashioin value (coz we all know I make a white trackie look good lol), I just wanted to air my deep upset at what is an upseting time for me, and anybody else who knows and loves TWK :P

All I can make out is that you destroyed a white tracksuit in the wash. Why is this a problem?

tallaght01

I didn't quite destroy it. I've managed to salvage it to an extent. Now only the arse is pink. Though last night, I was sitting round the flat in the white knight, when I decided to go for a walk to the shops. Wandered out for about 15mins. It was only when I got back I realised I had strolled round the west end of glasgow with a big pink arse on me white jocks. So, the pink knight has made it's first public appearance. First of many, I reckon :P

stovelid

Wait a few weeks and see if the local lads follow suit.

tallaght01

lol, I think you and I know it's only a matter of time :P
