"Hmm, I think I might qualify as a professional, currently sat here in cargo pants, band t-shirt and Doc Martens boots. I will change into a suit later though so not sure which section I should be in?" I think you’d be allowed in but not allowed to speak. A band t shirt really does smack of a horrid common accent. A well known fact.  | |||

"Could there be a room on here just for those professional people who wear suits. No tradies or bus drivers. Just professional workers who enjoy the finer things like good food and fine wine" Also tradies (assuming they're good ones) and bus drivers are professionals. Fixing your gas boiler to a safe standard that won't blow up your house does require training and certification. Bus drivers are responsible for the safety of their passengers every hour of their working lives. I assume the original post was probably meant ironically but on the offchance it wasn't, here's your arse; I hand it back to you. | |||

"Very few professionals still wear suits and ties. Business casual has been de rigueur in most professions since the 90s A suit makes you look like a salesman. "Even worse - a second hand car salesman. | |||

"Having worn suits for work for decades I now only wear them for weddings (very few) and funerals (far too many) now. Does that mean I'm not wanted?" do you sell cars? | |||

"Could there be a room on here just for those professional people who wear suits. No tradies or bus drivers. Just professional workers who enjoy the finer things like good food and fine wine" Are you allowed to change out your suit at weekends (presuming you don't work in a car showroom) and evenings (again presuming you're not a hotel clerk), maybe into a smoking jacket and silk pjs? | |||

"I'm a senior project manager but work from home 100% so usually wear tracksuit pants for comfort. Also makes it very easy to whip off and wank while on conference calls. So what category would I fall under?" You’d fall into the category of senior professional wanker. And to be clear, I mean that as a complement. I’m a junior professional wanker | |||

One is not. It would be above ones station. Besides which, it’s easy to recognise non PLU. | |||

He sadly can’t wear the smoking jacket because it’s got some good food and fine wine stains down it. (Bestin tinned ravioli and Aldi’s fizzy pomade, but who’s checking the details…) | |||

"Its not about how much you earn. Its about knowing the difference between a Merlot and a Shiraz... Knowing a decent wine and good food. Like-minded professional people " I know the difference between a Merlot and a Shiraz (and wouldn’t choose either) but what’s that got to do with “professional” people..?! You want to hang out with other gourmands and wine connoisseurs? There’s lots of food and drink clubs for posey people. I expect there must be a homo version. | |||

"Its about occupation. No lorry drivers for example. Best known for seedy sex in there cabs" ?! And you don’t think people in various professions who work in offices or public buildings don’t have seedy sex there?! I can’t believe you can really be this naive, so like someone else above, I presume this is a wind-up. “No riffraff” indeed. Otherwise it will be like that emetic advert for Elite Singles… collecting the pretentious people helpfully together as you wouldn’t want to go anywhere near… | |||

"Its about occupation… " So to start off with and as in your OP, it was about people who wore suits not the suit-less tradies. Then it was about people who knew the difference between Merlot and Shiraz and knew good dining. Then it wasn’t about how much people earn. But is about what sort of occupation someone has… | |||

"Seem to have a big chip on your shoulder. Why not indulge the guy who wants something special." In what way do I have a chip on my shoulder? This is quite fascinating. Please share more of your psychological profiling with us. “indulge the man who wants something special” … a] The man cannot define or characterise clearly who would be in this supposed “professional” room… b] FabGuys doesn’t create thematic “rooms” for any groups of people. The OP might be thinking of another site. Where are these supposed rooms going to appear..?! This is just a lot of nonsense anyway. | |||

"so a professional is someone who wears a suit?" A “professional” was once defined to me as a skilled person who does what they’re supposed to do even if nobody is checking up on them. I can’t see if it makes any difference if they’re in shorts and T-shirt, scrubs or a suit and tie…. or naked for that matter. Preferable naked on second thoughts. | |||

Do tell me more. What you’ve shown us is that you are more interested in the trappings of a person (a suit; a bottle of wine; a job title) than who the person actually is. I avoid judgmental and pretentious people like you like the plague. Give me a trucker any day. (And I’m one of your so-called “professional” people.) | |||

"Obviously this is a snobby post but I've had way too many chats where the other person can't really hold down a conversation 🥲." But that’s not particularly about profession or wearing suits or wine-tasting… I’ve known some men with very limited formal education but they still have the ability to get across what they want to say (even if spelling or grammar is imperfect etc) - whilst I have known many lads with degrees whose communication abilities are lamentable. | |||

If you haven’t realised that at your age, sir, I expect you’ve missed out on a lot of good company. “Not interested in chain restaurants.

There’s a Forum magpie mentality and we get bored of threads very quickly and start new ones. The same OP started off a thread titled “On The Night Shift” with “Has anyone worked on nights and had a dabble with a co worker?” … a thread called “Farmer” with “Has as anyone been fucked in a barn by a farmer? So hot” … and “Travellers” with “Has any had any fun with travelling community?!” I think our latest bright shiny thing of gourmandising, besuited “professionals” will have a similarly short trajectory. | |||

An assumption that if it has a fancy name and costs a fortune, it is bound to taste wonderful. Not always the case. Having been in the hospitality trade and worked in a couple of 'posh' hotels, I have been able to try things that I would not normally buy or could even afford. All a matter of personal taste really. Always hated lager and red wine and not very fond of tea yet they are all popular beverages. Prefer cod to salmon. Don't like Indian food. Not really a fussy eater but only eat what I like whether it is considered posh fayre or poor man's grub. | |||

"A castrated ram is a wedder, not a wether. Spell-check will not tell you that." Wedder is just the Scottish dialect form of wether. They are exactly the same word root and meaning the same thing. A wether is a castrated male sheep or goat. Spell-check doesn’t tell you about parochialism either. | |||

"Could there be a room on here just for those professional people who wear suits. No tradies or bus drivers. Just professional workers who enjoy the finer things like good food and fine wine Also tradies (assuming they're good ones) and bus drivers are professionals. Fixing your gas boiler to a safe standard that won't blow up your house does require training and certification. Bus drivers are responsible for the safety of their passengers every hour of their working lives. I assume the original post was probably meant ironically but on the offchance it wasn't, here's your arse; I hand it back to you." Tom is a professional agitator, all his posts are contentious | |||

"Who wears suits these days anyway? 😆! I'd very rarely, always dress smart but usually smart jeans or chinos and a polo shirt nowadays. Only time id wear a suit usually is quarterly meeting if asked and to an audit maybe to let the auditor know im serious 😊 What do you wear to weddings and funerals?" A suit of course and I have a Morning Suit for lodge meetings 😆, its nice to dress up but not for work. | |||

Enjoyed the finer things in life like opera and fancy parties. He used to fuck his cleaner on a regular basis... By paying her below the minimum wage. | |||

"All I requested was a space for like minded individuals who enjoy the finer things in life then get slagged off for it " You requested it on the general board, not in site feedback where it belongs (and where nobody would have taken any notice or acted on such a niche request). You also framed it by denigrating people who you imagine don't share your tastes, which is snobby and judgemental and as has been proven by several posts, untrue. Basically you did it like an arsehole. And got yours handed back to you. | |||

An art historian cannot negotiate his way through heavy traffic and delivery 50+ passengers safely to their destination. Nor can he come and fit me a new bathroom or make my windows spotlessly clean.
