Signs - Popcorn and dress code

As I'd mentioned before, our daughter Karina came from the Philippines over Easter, to spend 10 days with us.
On Monday 29th April, we both went to the movies to watch - "Swimming with Men", a British feel good movie inspired by a true story. We really enjoyed it!

These signs were printed on the popcorn boxes, I thought they were hilarious 😁.

                                  

                                  

On Tuesday 30th, Karina and I had dinner at Riverton Bar and Grill, next to my local shopping, and we had a laugh at the sign outside the entrance.

I wonder if Ugg boots are as popular in your countries as they are in Australia? It always amazes me to see young ladies wearing Ugg boots with shorts! Aren't they meant to keep your feet warm?

Karina flew out at 2am this Wednesday, so I had to drop her at the Airport at 11pm, but luckily I only worked the pm shift from 1 o'clock, so I had a sleep in this morning.

More signs at Signs, signs.

  1. Funny signs.
    As botas Uggs não são autorizadas? Muito estranho. Há uns anos estiveram muito na moda aqui. Não havia rapariga nenhuma que não tivesse um par. Ainda se vêem, mas foram substituidas por outras, as da marca Blundstone, também de origem australiana como sabe. A minha filha tem um par e diz que são muito confortáveis.

    1. A meu ver as botas Ugg sao para usar por casa como "pantufas", mas muita gente jovem usa-as na rua. Nao sei o porque da proibicao das Ugg.

  3. That cremation one is my favourite.

    Admittedly I don't like popcorn.

  4. Those popcorn box signs were HILARIOUS. Still laughing.

    I had NO idea what an Ugg boot was, so went to the internet. They sell a LOT of different styles. I don't think I would ever wear them and not with shorts. But at least now I know what Ugg boots look like (grin)!!!

    1. I like my warm slippers in winter (at home), but I don't think I would wear Ugg boots indoor or outdoors either.
      The signs were funny, I had a good laugh too.

  6. That is funny about the cremation. Our major ugg boot shop closed down and I haven't seen anyone wearing them for a long time.

    1. Thanks Andrew. They are probably a bit out of fashion maybe, haven't seen as many young women wearing them :)

  8. Dearest Sami,
    Lovely for having had your daughter for ten (short !) days.
    Oh, those signs are indeed hilarious and I guess there also is a spelling error: unclean or untidy 'foorwear'...
    Yes, anyone wearing boots in the warmer season looks very odd to me! It's just not done...
    That movie must have been hilarious to watch!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  10. Those signs sure are hilarious and made me laugh!

    Ugg boots! You may not believe it but some wear these ugly things here and think they are super-cool...

    Sad that Karina had to leave already, time flies!

    Oh, that sounds like a fun movie, those are real men!
    And oh, that British accent!!! :-)

      A fun movie, I had no idea there was a Synchronized swimming Men's team.

  11. Is there anything left to wear after you get through the Riverton list?

  12. Yes those Uggs boots are supposed for warm feet I think too.

    1. Yes they should warm up your feet in winter, not in summer, like they use here :)

  13. Ora a parte das pipocas e da cremação fez-me dar uma gargalhada... ainda bem que estou sózinha :-)
    As UGG que tenho têm a ver com o gelo que é o escritório onde trabalho... percebo que haja algumas a funcionar como pantufas e daí a proibição!
    Boa tarde

    1. Presumo que seja a parte das pantufas que eles proibem :)

  14. Ugg boots with short shorts were a "thing" on the campus at University of California in Santa Barbara in 2003. I was also confused, but a neighbor explained to me that it was a surfer habit to warm up your feet after the cold Pacific waves had chilled them -- I think this started with Australian surfers, as Uggs is an Australian company. I think it was really about looking cool, but whatever.

    Uggs fads seem to come and go sort of the way that skirt lengths used to move up and down (or maybe still do?) A few years ago, my granddaughters really wanted them, and wore them a lot, but now they have moved on. That's all I know about Uggs.

    Surprising that a cremation joke can be so funny and not in particularly bad taste!

    1. I agree, the Ugg boots were quite fashionable years ago, although I still see young girls wearing them, but not in great numbers.
      The jokes were funny, thanks Mae.

  15. I love the one about the epic cremation! And I wonder what the "special occasions" might bring out!

    1. Thanks Jeanie, the cremation joke is fabulous. I too wonder what would be allowed on special occasions :)

  16. Ugg boots were very popular a few years back, although I've never worn a pair!
    So nice that you spent time with Karina.

    All the best Jan

  17. Funny signs! I like how Ugg boots are among the forbidden dress code items. They were a thing a few years ago, but I haven't seen them around for a while. Good, I say!

    1. I agree, a good idea to ban them :) Thanks Sara
