Laurie, you'd love the pair of boots I have They have laces on the front and a zip on the inside of the leg. Best of both worlds

I collect the occasional one, so only have about 300Mb of pics mostly extreme heels and ballets are the type that get saved

zips and then lace ups I don't like pull-ups much as there's not as much fun

What about the poor saps here in the UK that had to learn latin in order to better understand english. Now there's a tough language!! I had to learn some cantonese whilst living in Hong Kong. At least learning how to barter with the locals is a skill in itself. Most chinese don't bother to learn english as they reckon not to go anywhere. I'm attempting to learn Klingon, just for fun But I agree with Yamyam, that the standard of english used in common language and in mail has deteriorated in recent years, mainly due to english people getting lazier or complacent. "Why should I learn another language? They can all learn english" is a common reply when posing the question to most.

Definately the second one! I wear heels because I want to and I feel better, not to look better. As for putting up with pain! What pain? That only happens if you are trying to push yourself too much!! Go with what you're comfortable in and life is great!

I always wore my leather trousers to work when I worked at a cold store. Occasionally wore my leather shorts whilst working at a fire door specialists

the type that Munitia wears in Wild Wild West would be better picture will follow as soon as I get it

you can get a free antivirus package from www.grisoft.com

AVG is completely free and updates itself when connected to the net, so you'll always be on top of the latest viruses.

the most common one being sent around at the moment is the KLEEZ-H. I get this sent to me about 3 times a week, which is rather annoying that someone out there has nothing to do with their time and computer than to waste others time with a virus.

Most antivirus programs will detect, but not all will clean the infection. Simplest way to deal with it in the first place is not open the attachment, whether you know the person or not. If it doesn't come as a picture format file, then delete it. Certainly, no-one from this forum will send you a program or other executable file.

If in doubt, chuck it out!

quite nice! red and black would be brilliant! best watch out for Shockqueen. he'll be after those to add to his collection

Down boy, down !!

Excellent stuff, Anthrax! I'll join you in that drink :drinking:

chocolate heels ! hmm! it would certainly give those people, that lick heels, a perfectly good excuse!

somehow, I don't think tinfoil will manage it :-) if I had the requisite knowledge, I would make you the shiny metal corset just for fun (and the photographic rights, of course!)

Normal wear is anything between 3" and 4.5" daily (true lift). Although platforms give you a higher heel, it doesn't really count as the height of the platform cancels out the real effect. I eventually will be able to wear anything up to 9" (yes, I'm still practicing wearing my ballets ), but I can walk in 5.5" for a while before my feet start to tell me off

what? not even a shiny metal corset? !drool!

Get the puncture repair kit ready !! Not my cup of tea, but then I'm not wearing them If you think they look good then get them. After all, that's what it's all about !

Welcome Jemanda, we all hope you that you will one day be able to walk down the street without worrying! in the meantime, please enjoy everything the forum has to offer.

apfelkorn is great when stuffed into a freezer for an hour and then poured. get enough glasses for a checkers board and play. whenever a piece is taken, you must drink it. trick is to finish the game

most popular height being 5'8" :-) Yay! It's good to be popular

Kenco Rapport Warning: It could bring the real you! My favourite of that line of adverts is the man and wife watching the wedding video and he puts it into reverse play. She asks what he's doing and he replies "I want to see myself emerge a free man!" :rofl: That had me cringing at the expectant result if I did that to my missus

well, as I have already said "I'm there, dudes", I'm there ! Brum is a straight run from me along the A14 and onto the M6! Sorted! If anyone wants to come along, but can only make it as far as Kettering or a point along the way (Rugby, Coventry) then I have a car that comfortably seats 4 (with a covered back for any kinky stuff you might want to hide until we get there, or back!) Shout me on 07884135072 and we'll sort it !

October 20th sounds good to me too! I'm there, dudes!

Proof of the pudding is in the eating ! How often have we heard the same thing? Society still has a set of values that, rightly or wrongly, are used everyday without thought. How many women are told they shouldn't wear trousers because they are men's? How many men are told they shouldn't wear skirts because they are for women? Does it really matter any more? Different societies have different rules and breaking those rules usually results in social stigma from the conformists. In the defence of men, heels were originally made for men, then adopted by women. The fact that most men chose to abandon their heel wearing does not nstantly mean that it's then a women only activity. I proved a little point today. I was out on a carboot looking at a pair of knee high boots and I asked if they were a small or large 7, to which the seller said "try them on" and that was before she saw what I was already wearing! The gender roles in todays society have gone, however, the ideas haven't. Most subscribe to this while a growing number are ditching the 'Victorian' idealology and becoming more 'Cosmopolitan', where anything is allowed within the realms of decency. I know of a few people down my street who wouldn't care if I walk down the road wearing a pair of shorts and thigh high boots. They may question my choice, but wouldn't care! The problem is that men in heels still has a way to go before the barriers in people's minds have gone and until that day we shall always be viewed as abnormal or eccentric. In one sense, good! I hate to think I was normal in the way the rest of the 'sheep' are!

Nice one, Jeff! Feels better to be in higher,doesn't it? Well done, DesertHeeler. You'll soon be at the dizzying heights that some of us have already attained !!
