Nothing to do with showing but the sense of humour and the moans all seem to be toglike. Anybody own up or do you all still listen to Radio 1? :- "
 
Toggs??? What are they?? Are they anything like Chavs, which I had never heard of until a couple of days ago??

Just as a matter of interest what are Chavs?

Oh and Toggs?
 
:D Are these words that go with BLING ?????? :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
[SIZE=21pt]LOL!!![/SIZE]

No, Chavs DEFINITELY wouldn't do Bling!!!! There is actually a website all about Chavs (I can't believe all this, where have I been all my life LOL) but I can't remember what the address is. I think we just put CHAV into a search engine and it came up with it.
 
I've just been enlightened!!!!

TOGGS = Terry's Old Geezers and Gals

Terry Wogan on Radio 2, 7.30 - 9.30 Monday - Friday (except when he is on holiday)

Obviously akin to that TV programme 'Grumpy Old Men'!!!!
 
Can't believe nobody listens to the Togmeister :b

You must all be a lot younger than I thought. :blink:
 
What is a Tog?

TOGs, also known as Terry's Old Geezers or Gals, listen and attempt tirelessly to feature on Wake Up To Wogan. Togginess is a state of mind recognised by many, as that feeling of being old before your time. In this light, TOGs are famous for their fierce resentment of anybody younger than themselves reflected in exclamations such as 'They don't know they're born!' and 'Clear off, you young limb!'

Another tell-tale sign of a TOG is a flat cap and an inexplicable penchant for driving their Volvos in the centre lane of the motorway at 60mph. TOGs may also be recognised by their use of such arcane phrases as 'Is it me?', the self-pitying, 'I never saw a bar of chocolate until I was fourteen', the perplexed, 'Why did I come upstairs again?'

There is talk of a secret sign, known only to those who see it flashed, rather like some Bat-Signal, on the radio every morning. There is an even more secret Grand Master, or TOGmeister, sign always exchanged under cover of darkness, or the snug of a seedy eaterie near Broadcasting House, which is known only to Wogan himself, the ailing producer, Pauly Walters, and the Duke of Kent.

Many covet the TOGs car stickers but then, once they receive them, get cold feet and hide them in the back of an upstairs drawer. Those brave enough to flaunt the sticker in their car windows pay a terrible price, not only in loss of face among nearest, dearest and the rest of the population, but in the trade-in value for the vehicle: the thing is impossible to remove.

The TOGs sweatshirt, which, like the car-sticker, is rarer than hen's teeth, bears the legend: 'Do I come here often?' - a tried and trusted TOG chat-up line. There was a strong ground-swell of opinion to have 'I stop for no particular reason' on the back, but it soon petered out.

Currently a movement is gathering strength to have the logos changed to 'It's never your fault' on the front and 'Mustn't grumble', on the back. It will come to nothing. They'll forget about it if you don't pay any attention. This condition is known to TOGs as a 'senior moment', a euphemism, to indicate a temporary loss of all marbles to anyone over 50…

TOGs feel a deep-seated need to form themselves into groups,clusters or tribes. Watch out for a gathering near you.
 
LOL! Very good Silas! :D I think I am a TOG and I'm not over 50!
 
Ever been to a show, watched closely to see what the judge wants you to do. Set the dog up on the table and then promptly forget what it was he/she was getting everybody to do? Or is it me!

I feel like one today. & I'am not 40 yet :- "
 
Senior moments are more and more common with me. At your tender age you are known as a TIG, having not yet completed your apprenticeship and not gained your warm cardi (mustn't let the cold into your bones when you reach Togdom).

But don't worry, you'll be a fully fledged TOG before you know it. Has a habit of creeping up on you but by then you won't remember what it was like to have all your marbles so you'll think it's everyone else that's not quite right. :b
 
Forgot to say (see what I mean), why does everbody write LOL.

Thought it was a person for ages but think that perhaps it's not.

Confused :unsure:

Certainly not. Seriously thought it was a name. Just thought it was someone everybody knew. Can't help being a TOG. Just wait until you get there. LOL
 
:D :b Actually Silas I'm not that far from being one myself.

I had to ask my 18 year old daughter what LOL meant when I first came on K9 :lol: :lol: I thought I was the only one who didn't know!!

I think there are more TOGS lurking on this forum, they just don't have the courage to "come out". It's not all down to age, the state of mind has a lot to do with it.

And my mind certainly is in a state :x

Mere whippetrsnappers of 18 may know what (or who) LOL is but give them a real old goodie like TTFN and then see how they fare!

TTFN
 
I'm not a TOG yet - but I do like Steve Wright and Johnny Walker!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought LOL meant Lots of Love - and got very confused for ages! :b :p :p

I have also only just worked out what BNIP and BNWT mean on ebay!!! :teehee:
 
Phew,I thought I was the only one who didn't know what LOL mean't :sweating:

We're all coming out of the closet now,aren't we :- "

ummm,wot is BNIP & BNWT ??? :unsure:
