If someone refers to you as "top draw", what does it mean?

first prize!

I think it's good!

You are a star

First class

Really! Wow, how nice. A complete stranger on the tube last night called me "Top Draw".

I thought from the way he said it that it was probably a compliment of some kind. I'd always thought it meant "posh", but that wouldn't have made sense in the context that it was said.

I had a very strange, but bluddy terrific night last night. One of the best nights I have had for ages. I may make a post about it.

Did the stranger have you over the back of the seats then? :huh:

Mind the gap!

I'm probably being really dense, but I don't get that!

neither do I anymore :laugh:

Awwwwwwww how cute,, so innocent

I think you peasants may be soiling my lovely story with sexual references.

Depends on what goodies you keep in your top drawer...

please do Figaro! ...

Yeah I might, if I can rustle up the energy. I'm feeling a little hungover today (I was going to say "tender", but I'm not sure that Fee could resist a double entendre if I did..... :laugh: )

Thing is, so much happend last night it'd be a long post. But I guess that's par for the course with me. Couldn't even make this one that short......

so it was a something more than "went out with work colleagues and got bladdered" then, Figaro. I'm mightily intrigued now!

Doh, now I've gone and built it up too much :laugh:

Yes, it better be worth it now. I won't be satisfied unless it's a tale filled with drunken debauchery.

Now, in your own time Figaro...

I always thought 'top drawer' meant classy.

Whatever it meant, i think you had a lovely compliment there Figs :w00t:

Are you sure there wasn't someone standing behind you, Figs? :wink2:

I'm joking. It's nice to know you've still got it sometimes, isn't it? Don't tell Buzz, though; she doesn't realise she never had it in the first place. :w00t:

...of course it all depends how drunk he was? how drunk was he Figs?!

Actually, I'm not sure he was chatting me up :sad: His girfriend was sat right beside him. I think he was just trying to tell me that I was alright / a good laugh. A bunch of us in the same carriage (all strangers) had all started talking to each other and we were having a right laugh together on the way home. In was in that context that the comment was made.

:laugh: I'd hazard a guess that he'd had a drink or two - it was the last tube home on the Northern Line on a Friday night, after all......He wasn't completely trollied though.

Don't tell Buzz, though; she doesn't realise she never had it in the first place. :w00t:
Listen up you. I am under no illusions about my pulling power. I only managed toget married cos Mr B had a injured leg and couldn't run fast enough to get away!

One word - Dublin.

In that context I'd guess he was suggesting you were a larff, geezer bird, a bit of sort who could go toe-to-toe with the best of 'em.

Compliment - YES
Chat-Up - Not with G/F in attendance.

Now had there been no G/F and I assume you are positive she was a G/F then that would be a top compliment. Think Not being coy with photos and contacting Metro but more "Would I?! Norarff"

Best I saw was at a swimming pool. We were all queing on the stairs for the superslide thing and there were two staircases full of people parallel to each other. The steps behind me there were about 5 lads about 14 to 17 and on the other staircase there was a girl of about 19-20 in a bikini with a friend who shall we say was not best blessed. anyway lads are having a larf and joke when all of a sudden the tallest but youngest turns and points at bikini girl and with no warning shouts "YOU....You are gorgeous" and then turns back to his mates and carries on talking like nothing had been said.

Well all the Dads and Lads start applauding said lad as Girl goes red from toe to forehead. (She was fit but far too old for this kid). Now as a bloke I thought that was confidence+ and I think she took it as a compliment - sort of - by the way she smiled and blushed for the next 10mins till we got to the top of the queue.



Anyway Figs - fill us in

If someone refers to you as "top draw", what does it mean?

He probably meant top drawers!

It means great knickers!

If you were that pi55ed they were probably hanging out the back with your skirt tucked into them when he spotted them!:applause:

Slips, each time that happens to me I find it very embarrassing and take it as a personal infringement of my civil liberties. :bag:
