:-D :-D :-D

Graham I would walk in my bare feet shoes in hand :-D :-D

Cattle are red/green colour blind. They don't care what colour boots you have. If the bull sees a possible enemy run ... in which case wellies will have been a poor choice, 4in heels even worse.

Except for sandals ( why on earth do some people, mostly men, wear socks & sandles together? ) feet remain confidential on the street. My OH is shoe mad inc sandals but she has very pretty feet and slim legs so I never complain about wading through the overflow of the shoe cupboard to get to bed :-D

My sister has double jointed toes and fingers sometimes the "phrase scissor hands" comes to mind... She certainly livens up shoe shop assistants.

Why do young people wear weird trainers call "hi-tops" with impossibly skinny jeans?

Well, in spite of wearing Scholls (kept in my office), Birkenstock as a sandal/slipper and barefoot I also loved pretty high heels.

Mind you I will never know how I managed to drive a Mini Traveller in very high platform shoes. The first time I wore them in office I towered above one of my engineers who immediately checked the psi of them.

I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
Wherever I go through rain and snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
With his extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle

The day that I born (oh boy) my father nearly died
He couldn't get my nappies on, how matter how he tried
Cause I was born with an extra leg, and since that day begun
I had to learn to stand on my own three feet
Believe me that's no fun

[Chorus:]

I had a dreadful childhood really, I s'pose I shouldn't moan
Each time they had a three legged race, I won it on me own
And also I got popular, when came the time for cricket
They used to roll my trousers up
And use me for the wicket

[Chorus:]

I was a dreadful scholar, I found all the lessons hard
The only thing I knew for sure, was three feet make a yard
To count to ten I used me fingers, if I needed more
By getting my shoes and socks off
I could count to twenty four

I'm Jake the [stops to count]

... To twenty five

I'm Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle.

Some Australian bloke ...

How long does it take you to figure out a pair of shoes don't fit?

"I brought these for £55 yesterday, I ran 3 miles today and decided they don't fit. I can't return them as I have run in them."

Didn't he also sing about "two little boys"?

Tie me kangaroo down.

Brought or bought?

A pet hate of mine.

Why is Rolf Harris on a thread about shoes and feet or is there something else to come out yet?

An effete comment, or should I say effeet

Comment pasted from eBay don't blame me for the spelling!

I think Dermot is pointing out the unfair difficulty that those born with three feet find in getting a matching set of shoes. Or maybe something else.
