On another note I went to Hein Gericke today (thieving bastuds) as I had a 20% off voucher. Was going to get another pair of Draggin' Jeans as they are listed at £105 on their website. In the shop they were priced at £125. Bloody hell! Talk about a rip off.

Think I will be heading to J&S in Greenwich as they have fully armoured jeans for £59.99 with kevlar. Bargain.

I grew up wearing those Melissa sandals, the old school original versions from down the road makers of Havaianas and Melissa - not the posh Vivienne Westwood for Topshop versions sold now internationally Razz emoticon
I developed an issue with plastic footwear. And then there's the thing with the design, it looks like kitchen safety footwear, sorry I don't judge any of you, just won't wear them

at home I wear my zebra slippers (with a tail at the back) from Bhs and when out in comfort, Uggs Razz emoticon
there, judge me away! Laughing emoticon

oh btw just prior to the decompression event i discovered that i can get all the way to the top of the speedometer (140 km/hr) without hitting the rev limiter.
I'm able to bury the needle (WOT) and have checked the max speed with a GPS unit - 132.8 kph. No wind and level ground.

Certainly enough to pick up all kinds of speeding tickets.

On a more useful and less bitchy note, I did a bit of Wiki writing and editing today. Jess now owes me an MV patch.

Or maybe the Banhammer Laughing emoticon , as I did a fair bit of editing to make the FAQ less of a strain on the eyes.

honest
I sold my last pair of arseless chaps to a nice man in Tunbridge Wells about 5 years ago together with a pair of size 9 heels and a david spain rubberised clubbing top.

Anymore questions?

I'm looking serious because I don't like my smile very much but check out the leather VW cap.

How that used to let me wear that at work I'll never know.

The last time I wore a rubberised clubbing top, I parked the car on Tottenham Court Road and went into the club only to come out and find that the car had been towed to Vauxhall for some minor parking infringement and I had to make my way there freezing to death in midwinter.

Not something I would like to repeat. That was 1993 and I was driving a VW Scirocco. Those were the days. 8)

BTW, LouisQ uses that megaphone pic as his avatar over on the Easy Peasey Posse,
