Nothing wrong with respectable VPL.

What is off putting is the g-string or nothing at all. 98% of people who think either of these are a good idea don't have the figure for it. Anyone unfortunate enough to be behind them is then treated to something akin to a blancmange in a bar fight with a sack full of jello. Oh my bleeding eyes.

Probably ;) oh I wish I was a character in one of her books! Aha! x

And ditto about most people not having the figure for it - that just adds insult to injury!


It was Perdita who ripped her sharkskin breeches... god what a memory I've got!

Mostly because of having to explain to single GF's that Jilly Coopers take on all hot, straight and single riders is about as far from the truth as you can get!!

I was just saying to Mum how every female character seems to be minted and beautiful and how incredibley unfair it is aha! Ahh yes I could remember it was Perdita. With her tight fitting purple jacket wasn't it?

I think it was Fenella Maxwell wasn't it?

Ah yes ofcourse, Perdita was in Polo and Fenella was in Riders and it was in Riders that it happened.

Damm, memory isn't THAT good.!!

I still STRONGLY maintain that JC has an awful lot to answer for. Non horsey friends honestly can't believe that life at the yard isn't simply a hot bed of romps in the hay and boxes. And if they happen to catch me in my horsey gear (what a catch I look!) think its just an off day - nope, it has to be practicality over beauty when rushing around after dirty animals.

Still, turned up for a drinks party last night at someones who has been giving me SJ training. He didn't recognise me and then had to back peddle quite hard!

Under no circumstances would I go anywhere with no knickers, and as for thongs - I think I would rather go without than wear one of those!

Proper M&S knickers for me, VPL or not!

Heehee I think that commando in jodhs would be very uncomfortable!!!

Why not just get a pair of cream/white/beige pants???

Or even better the line reducing shorts that you can wear under your jodhs??

I can say I would like to be behind anyone who split their jodhs on a commando day I think i would be likely to throw up!!

Commando, definately not my choice out of atire for the hunting field. Each to their own though.

I'd never risk it! I am the type of person to pick perfect moments (embarrasing moments that is!). If I ever went out commando (which I wouldn't) I'd definately end up entangled in a hedge, soaked in a ditch (seems to be a regular thing at the moment), land myself in A & E or it would pour down... leaving everything on show. Not attractive! ;)

Thanks OP, this thread cheered me up. :D

Jilly Cooper is a strong "method" writer, if there is such a thing, and does a lot of research before writing a new book. Rupert Campbell-Black was based on a real character and most agree on who it was (let's just say he hunts all over the place but returns to Warwickshire).

As for the thread itself: this week's Thruster, Harry Wallace, is now a Commando, so let's ask him! Having browsed about a thousand recent jumping images on a hunting snapper's site I can safely say there aren't many VPLs in the Shire Packs.

I will stick to my mid thigh Under Armour Compression Shorts ta very much.

They hold everything in place, no VPL, look smooth, no wobbles, hides "orange peel" skin and come in cold gear (winter) and heat gear (autumn) version.

Win, win I reckon.
