Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Tickets to see James at the Albert Hall next year for their 40th year tour. Only took an hour using both a laptop and my phone and I didn't get the best seats, but hey, I'm in with a 'plus one'.
I suspect Mrs. G will come under sufferance but would happily give up her seat for this middle-age musical-fest if one of my mates wants to come.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
If they're new, there's no risk of a dog egg on the bottom of the shoes, so it's all good.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
We had that thing about shoes (very much including new ones) on the table at home.
Just looked it up. It signifies the owner is dead.
(From the ritual of putting a dead miner's shoes on the table apparently).

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
They're nice shoes and very well made for off the peg shoes, I've got half a dozen pairs of boots/shoes bought over the last ten years or so and based on current wear/condition they'll easily last me a lifetime.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 11:51 am Shortly before my wife told me off for putting shoes on a table.
My wife's mother wasn't keen on new shoes on the table, apparently it's very bad luck.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
One would assume that cobblers are exempt from the law of new shoes on tables?

Such questions are not for the minds of men.
Edit: actually, thinking about it, their very name is a synonym for dishonesty. So maybe something happened in aeons past, forever cursing them.

And Wiki says:
"A load of old cobblers" and variants such as "what a load of cobblers" or just "cobblers!" is British slang for "what nonsense" that is derived from the Cockney rhyming slang for "balls" (testicles) of "cobbler's awls".
Even bland can be a type of character

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
How about a thread where people contribute their favourite examples of Cockney rhyming slang...?
