Cobblers?   » Permalink  |  TrackBack (0)

If you want to know what's wrong with this country... look no further than here. Is there anything sadder than middle-aged men trying to pretend they are still young by wearing fancy trainers? I think not.

To make it worse... this is why the man wants new laces.

I haven't worn laces out, I just have blue Airwalks with blue laces and want a set of white/cream laces for them because I am vain.

Jeeze, he's only in his early thirties! What counts as middle aged these days?

Has he slipped into self-parody?

Oh my god I went into a shop and they didn't have what I wanted so I had to go to another shop.

Bloody Labour

If a certain Tory blogger, who shall remain nameless to protect the victims of his drink driving (and without insurance), goes to prison and does not intend to commit suicide with his laces, perhaps he would leave them outside the prison gate for Dizzy?

Jesus wept :rolleyes: sarcasm bypasses and an old git who finished sicth that thinks that 32 is middle aged.

Reel him in, reel him in.

As the Sun would say... Gotcha!

Every one a winner... they think they are wind up merchants, but they are sooooo easy.

(Psst, anyone know what a sicth is?)

I'm middle-aged and wear fancy trainers, partly because I'm clinging to my fading youth but also - and this is the getting old bit kicking in - they're bloody comfortable and last for ages.

Vanity and prudence all rolled into one. Cake had and eaten.

He may think that the word "Cobblers" is a gerogatory term?

sicth was a great typo of our time which was meant to say sixth. You know, that place in the Premiership that doesn't get a spot in UEFA. As for reeling me in Bob, saying Jesus wept should be indicative enough to realise that I was despairing at the absurdity of your post.

32? Alright have it your way, but only an old man goes out to buy shoelaces.
