OH it really riles me when I see these riots on the telly ... though to be fair, I know that the violence is perpetrated by a few mindless idiots who have absolutely no link to the protest but see this as a good opportunity to create havoc!! 90% of those out on the streets were appalled with this destruction being carried out in their names and condem it wholeheartedly as they should .. Enough of the politically correct policing and control - bring back good old fashioned riot police who when you stepped out of line - especially violence and criminal damage - would let the dogs go along with liberal helping of tear gas and the odd rubber bullet. If you choose to behave like an animal expect to be treated like one and dont whinge about your human rights and civil liberties or expect any sympathy from us - what about our rights and liberties? Who is going to pay for the damage ... take a guess! To the students, whilst I can sympathise with what you have to say about the increase and having to pay so much more, please consider this - we are one of the VERY FEW countries in the world where this privilege exists. I have lived and worked in several countries where students have to pay for their university education in its entirety and the tax payer doesnt pay a cent. Indeed in those countries, you have to pay back the student loan whether you pass or fail and irrespective of what you earn when you start work. To use an analogy I heard in the pub - the sweetie jar is empty! if you want sweets, you're going to have to buy your own for the next couple of years cos there is no money to fill it. Its sucks but that life - we're were fortunate enough to have led the good life but thats over now PHEW - deep breath. Ok, i'llget off my soap box now

Let me be the first the welcome you formally. As you have already found out, the members here cover a broad spectrum of society and are more than willing to listen, support and /or offer advice with regards to heels as a fashion item for both men and woman. That said, thats not all we discuss and you will find that we also discuss / debate a broad range of other non-heel related topics and we encourage everyone to join in Look forward to hearing more from you as you find your way around the forum

lol, I'm really naughty like that, I'm off the phone as fast as possible, I'm like "Hi, yep, got that, ok, bye......." Even when my parents call, I'm like "Hi, whats up?, no seriously, whats up because I'm busy? Nothing? ok, bye..."

I'm with you on that .. was raised in house where my grandfather would stand by the door tapping his watch and saying 3 minutes - didnt matter, short distance, long distance or international. If you couldnt say it in 3 minutes, then he advised you write a letter or go and see the person. Its rubbed off on me but the only person who doesnt seem to get it is my boss .. and its always when Im on roaming

There are so few settings on it, its great, but the one you might want to enable, given its a school, is to scan removable drives... Wouldn't want any nasties going from PC to PC.

Also, while your cleaning up their PC's, did you know that in your windows folder, you can safely delete ALL of those windows updates folders that appear at the beginning of the windows folder, and all the related .txt log files too, that will free up over a GB, and speed up the virus scanning too.

Thanks for all the info Tech - v good point about the removable drives - will make sure that gets turned on

All very useful info re update folders - dont know why but it just never occured to me. Consider it done!

Hello from me too.

JOhnW, let me be the first to welcome you to HHP and to thank you for that very good intro about yourself. Its nice to get a clear understanding of the people who are joining the forum and their interest in heels. Whilsts KG's shoes are very nice, I'm a bit of a Nine West man myself although the local stores dont stock my size and I have to wait until I travel to the US to find them. So if you have lots more to share, we look forward to hearing more from you soon. Sure that you'll find us to be an interesting but diverse group of people who participate here

Hey Confused, Well that seems to have worked out for you - you seem to have a very understanding GF. Great to hear how supportive she is being and the fact that she is willing to get you a pair of 'trainer heels' Probably wont be the last time you discuss this but its important that you dont hide anything from her. Its baby steps (and Im not talking about the trainer heels) but good luck - we look forward to hearing more from you soon.

3 Good things MS has done in my book... Security Essentials, Windows Home Server and Windows 7... Shame it took so bloody long, but hey ho, they did make shite loads of mistakes along the way...

Amen to that Tech!! As you say, they've had so much bloody practive, they had to get it right sometime!

AVG - total heap of sheep. It killed my machine too - got rid of it for Avast and got another 2 years out of my XP machine!

Must have a look at MSE - am about to start taking AVG off all the HW at my daughters school, they are complaining that their machines are dying and want parents help replace all the machines. You wouldnt believe what a local IT company is charging them to keep the stuff going and they couldnt even be bothered to install a printer drivers because the school had run out of hours - it has to wait until next month!?! HW is in such a state, its not funny. Offered to go in and do the maintenance for nothing and asked them to try Avast first before replacing machines (we're talking P4 & Core2 in some cases ) but may go with MSE based on what I'm reading. You say its free? Just what schools need to hear.

Do cowboy boots make you a cowboy??!!

Exactly, could carry on with more analogies (do golf shoes make you a golfer) but the bottom line is, sexuality (or sexual orientation) is something that is a part of your genetic make up. Its not something that can be influenced

That said, I do agree with Big_a_64 .. it may well serve as a catalyst.

My Desire is better than the iPhone 4 because I can make calls without having to hold it in a certain way. (Sorry, that's a bit of a cheap shot!)

Yes it was .. but take the opportunity where you get it, it may not come again

Having said that, I may get an IPhone next as my android is crap at detecting speakers!

LOL - this is one of the best posts I've read in a long time! Good call Tech

PS: I've found that my Crackberry Storm is brilliant ... as a paper weight in my outbox until I can get around to recycling it! iPhone 4 is rocking

Who said I had issues with Apples staying in control? I never had issues with that, and actually prefer it, as it maintains stability, especially when you pay an arm + 2 legs for an iphone, I want the damn thing to work properly... Jailbreaking it, in my eyes, is non-sensical, unless your a developer, or have a shit load of cash to piss around with....

OK, maybe the use of the word control was not entirely correct .. I was was just trying to refer to your opening line in the initial post as quoted below.

ok, so being the "I hate everything apple does" kinda person for years, ever since a REALLY bad experience with the itunes software wiped out 15,000 albums on my server several years ago,

As for jailbreaking .. I guess its each to their own. Certainly not going to get into a debate about which is better

Hey, the upside is, at least I answered your question .. althought I've just noticed that I made an error by saying "An HHP place could be just the answer otherwise for the phone" .. what I meant to say was "an HHP APP could be the answer"

I'm with JNR - 1st pair hands down for me

I wouldn't choose to wear peep toes

Love it! Thats the spirit Amanda .. 5' inch heels in snow - if you can, why not.

Hey Tech, like you I am not a fan of Apples control issues - I hate being dictated to on what I can and cant do. Jailbroke my first iphone and had some great apps that werent from the itunes. That said it is an amazingly easy device to use and all the apps make it even easier - the main issue I have with the iphone is the screen size when browsing - youre constantly zooming in and out. HHP works just fine but your fingers are knackered by the time youve been logged on for an hours or so .. not to mention the eyes. This probably wont be an issue on the ipad .. Im just too tight to buy one An HHP place could be just the answer otherwise for the phone

someones must surely be having a laugh!!! This is a wind up .. its got to be ... please anyone If governments have time to consider this type of ridiculous legislation then they are obviously not doing their job!! What a nanny state - next theyll be checking to see if you have clean underwear. Get rid of em!! .. Ok, I fell for it. Where are the cameras?

Yes talk to your girlfriend and say can we go back please. If she insisted you buy them she must be interested in you having them. Go on treat yourself, you've got one hell of a good lady there, make her happy and give in to her wishes.

I'm with Foxyheels - think your GF is very supportive of the idea so go for it

Good luck Jay Jay - let us know how it goes. If I havent already mentioned this, youre very lucky to have such a supportive, understanding wife who is non-judgemental.

nonchalant

Hey Ashton12, that is a shame .. all those great shoes simply sitting in a cupboard. Do you wear heels yourself or are you just an admirer?

I was on the Wright Stuff once talking about whether Eastenders is an accurate reflection of life in the East End...

Didn't look as cute as her though. (and they weren't 6" heels either).

Cmon Doc ..give us the youtube link

Nice shoes Luke .. and good luck. Intersting that she decided to buy you heels .. you sure she doesnt have an inkling about this and is leading you on .. very nice way of her to do it if she is. Let us know how it goes

what about playing some golf?

LOL .. guranteed way to have the green keeper chase after you with an out of work 'Big Bertha' - though a nice pair of 4' heels to prize giving afterwards would be fun. Give those old toffs something else to complain about

Ha ha Jay Jay, my wife saw Micheal Moll on expresso (SABC3) the friday morning before the event ( all the male presenters had heels on) and dared me to wear my stilettos to the mall that very same day. I didnt have the balls, indoors only, fine by me..........

Opportunity lost BAAL78!! But respect for knowing what youre happy with Maybe next time

Hey Mr X, Nice buy - enjoy them and let us know what they are like

was wearing my black patent peepe toes from Nine West - 4' heel and really comfortable - guess working from home has its upsides!
