How do you iron a tie ?



Thin to thick end ?


Or


Thick to thin end ?



Steamed or dry heat ?




See, mine dipped into the rice whilst cooking, so a quick hand job on it & it's back to it's old self ( bar a stiff Ironing)



Any ideas gratefully received

Couldn't you purchase a super swishy tie from your club to impress the judge? He may even be hoping to become a member himself. Although clearly this will only work if you can ensure he will not be blackballed at The Garrick, Spearmint Rhino doesn't have the same kudos!

Oh no *Bobby*


No, I only wear the tie & nothing else, so I like "it" to be neat & tidy


Specially as it is the focus of most people's attention


I do notice peoples comments, here's a few from people queued at the theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue on Saturday night.



"Just look at the tie Honey....Keep looking at the Tie"

"My godddd ...the man's only wearing a tie"


"Really,.... I hadn't got that far...Yet " said his wife slowly



Which was nice, made me swell right up with pride.

No! ...with due respect...you are wrong! HAL9000 wrong...how can it be?...ha ha ha ha...never thought I'd see that in my lifetime...ha ha ha...better get your wiring checked liebe Roboter...ha ha ha ha ha


Seriously, I first spot-clean all hubby's silk ties with a stain remover, then wash them in the washing machine (sensitive programme - for silks), drip dry them, manually put them back into shape, and finally iron them covered over with a clean damp tea-towel. Good as new every time!


You've made my day though! But then even robots must have an off moment...maybe you just need a bit of a vacuum...eh?


*on floor in absolute stitches*


Mind you, you did use the catch-all..."virtually"....damn!

Hahaha. Yes I did, didn't I!

No chance! The silk will have lost its shine and the tie's beautifully rolled edges will have been ironed flat. It might look OK to you but it wouldn't fool an expert - sorry.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
