I've just got FreeBSD 4.6 and Apache running on one of my AlphaServers. Now, if I can just persuade it that it doesn't need to spend ten minutes launching bits of Sendmail that I don't want, I'll be sorted!

I love the feeling of wearing heels, otherwise I wouldn't do it. I don't feel girly, but then, I'm a bloke, I don't know what 'girly' feels like. As for flirty, well, if I thought I was getting admiring glances, then I'd flirt a bit
-
That's a bit harsh, isn't it
But Posh actually wears heels quite a lot. (But Sporty was still the best-looking Spice Girl!)

Typo! (Isn't it 'Pepto Bismol'?)

I wouldn't say that they're the ugliest I've ever seen, but I'm not that keen on them either!

I'd suggest Schuh, who also have a website at http://www.schuh.co.uk/

Next seems to do some bigger sizes, but they're bloomin' expensive. I'd suggest Brantano. They do bigger sizes, tend to have a good selection, are great at customer service, and have lots of nice racks for you to hide behind
Brantano also have two different ranges, one in artificial materials and one in genuine leather, so you can pick and choose.

Try Matalan - the branch near me had something similar and they were only about £12
Thanks for the tip!
I found a similar pair in Stead & Simpson for about £17, which I quite liked, but they didn't have the exact style I liked the best in UK8. The best they had was on a 2" kitten heel, which I didn't like.

Trolldeg: "All generalisations are dangerous - including this one!"
This whole 'men are good at this &c' thing is a bit of a red herring, I think. I don't fit the typical 'man' description either, in that I have to turn maps around, and I can multitask, although not always
. I also can't park for toffee, to the point where people have been known to look again as I unlock my (very badly parked) car. I also have excellent verbal and written skills, according to some psychometric test or other. (And I have been known to ask for directions
) On the other hand, I'm really untidy, don't notice washing up when it needs to be done, and forget to change toilet rolls. I think we're all a mix, with some people being nearer the male or female 'extreme', and some people slightly nearer the middle, with a mix of characteristics. Do people agree?

To be honest, for a lot of companies, it would just be marketing what they do slightly differently. Many shoe companies do 'large size women's' ranges, so all they'd need to do would be to publicise the styles differently, and we're there. As for skirts, I'm not so sure on that one. I can't claim that much experience in this field, but I'm sure it can't be all that different. But if David Beckham can cause a run on pink nail varnish in the Midlands, all we need to do is get Posh to persuade him to go for a pair of hh and we're done. (And I know I've said this before, but I still think it's true)

And this is 1501. Your goddess has reached the pinnacle. You may worship and offer up precious goods as you see fit.
Okay, seriously, I made it, and I think it is very cool indeed. That is a lot of posting, and a lot of content and typing and ideas and hard work and silliness, and happiness.
Wow.
Well done. I shall continue looking up to you
-
Okay, does that make any sense? Ah what does it matter, I know what I am trying to say.
Ah, sure sign of true love - when someone completely stops making sense
In time, I am sure we'll get better at the pictures, and maybe even share a few more.
Looking forward to it! And I thought the photos were just fine, but then, I take absolutely terrible pictures myself

I was browsing the Internet looking for a pair of shoes like this:
(hope the image works, but if not, they're kind of like sandals, but with a closed toe, a cuff around the ankle, and about a 3.5" heel). I fancied a change from plain black ankle boots (twenty pairs should be enough
)
Anyway, I found some quite nice ones, but at 45 quid (or only 33 from Argos) they seemed a bit steep. So I decided to 'check for alternatives'. Both the Kay's and Argos site seemed to think that men's trainers were an acceptable alternative! How does that work?
I might treat myself to a pair from Argos, if I can't find anything I like in a shop. I don't really want to buy online, as I like trying them on too much!
-
I might be going to Birmingham again in the next month or two, haven't decided which yet
Anyone who wishes to tag along is more than welcome!
I'm up for that one, if I can make myself free in time! Let me know!
-
Those are nice. I must admit, I'm normally a boots person, but I quite like the asymetric slingbacks (the top two photos). And the Saxone boots are quite nice too. They are what I'd assumed a blade heel to be. And you're lucky being able to swap with the wife
!

I wouldn't like to be in Chris's shoes (pun intented).
Oh, I don't know... He does have a nice girlfriend to buy shoes for. I'm sure I could get used to that one

Yamyam - there's nothing wrong with this particular North American car, lots of leg room for a goddess who enjoys it, and it does have some power. It also sounds great when displaying that power. I tend to find the driver to be the best part, naturally.
I thought you might be keen on the driver, somehow
But hey - I'm from Europe, and we're supposed to knock American cars. It's in the rules or something. But it is a nice-looking car, and if you two like it, then that's what matters.
-
It will be a shame if you go, Maryanne. I can understand why, tho', as I've been on the recieving end of some fairly nasty comments too! I don't blame you, but I can only suggest that you stick with it! This whole electronic communication things sometimes lead to misinterpretation and nastiness out of all proportion. I try and bear that in mind when reading and posting. Hope to see you back, and it'll be a loss to us all if you really do go.

and the woman wearing a see through top with only nipple rings
You only saw one
?
Calv's silver stiletto boots were pretty cool too; sorry I forgot to mention those. These fetish fairs really teach you to appreciate other people's ideas.
True. And let's not forget Xaphod's thigh-length boots. I spotted people pointing him out to each other a couple of times
-
Very nice, all round. Not that I'm normally a fan of American cars. High heeled goddesses, now that's different
-
Well, everyone's summed up the sensible stuff, so it only remains to mention the sillier bits of the day. A highlight for me was following Xaphod's hat all the way from Nuneaton to Birmingham, as it seemed to know where to go
All right, we didn't know what Calv drove, and so all we could see on the road in front was a small car containing a large hat! Oh, and I got my first compliment on my heels ever! Considering I was last in a line of the five of us, me being spotted and complemented was quite a boost to the ego. All in all, an excellent two days, and well worth it. Perhaps we'll see some more people next time. Oh, and thanks for the sleep-over, Calv!

I'm with FireFox. I just love to see a woman in a shorter skirt and knee boots with a medium or high heel. For some reason, I especially like the combination of a denim skirt and black or tan boots. Alternatively, I too also love boots and trousers. I once saw a quite attractive young lady in a pair of black trousers with kick pleats and a pair of gorgeous black ankle boots with medium heels walking down a road I was trying to drive down. I must admit I nearly crashed admiring her
The Cardiff Shopping Story sounds interesting too, tho'
