why do people still wear these gold necklaces !, if anything they look tacky as hell !, unless you are after a 20 year bar girl

I agree with 'Boater',it's like wearing a sign around your neck saying,'please take me' !!

Nothing wrong with a nice chunky gold necklace ,especially if you have tatoos,cutaway vest, shorts, black socks and sandals ,

the hight of Pattaya chic.Guaranteed to pull a hi-so lady

They look like second hand car dealers.

Chav's n Bling. Oh, it is soooooo cool - not!

Does he not look very handsum and soooo well dressed....

stupidity never dies out... showing gold and money and filled wallets is an invitation to every opportunistic mugger... no matter which country you are... but even more in countries with high poverty rates...
