Atta boy! It wasn't that hard now, was it? Next time you can push it a little bit and enjoy the feeling of trying the shoes on at the store - you'll love it!

And, who knows, end up in a conversation about shoes... and from there, the only possible destination is the 'great shopping experiences' thread !

Weekdays, it's whatever looks good under a suit, unless it's a casual site. Weekends, it's whatever looks good under jeans, which at the moment is a pair of basic slip-on trainers or my big chunky CAT boots. I've been known to get my ten year old Doc Marten's out sometimes as well. Actually, I once saw DM's with a heel on - about a 1.5" heel, and around 1" square. They looked great, but this was a long time before I found out I could just do it. Damn. All those years wasted. If I wasn't feeling like absolute **** over something else, I'd be feeling down about that.

or at least a car thread...

So, this 325i... at least you know I'll be driving it in heels, so it's marginally related!

All of those shoes look quite inviting. Well, with the possible exception of the red platform pair at the end! If only

Me? Wearing heels? With my reputation? Oh, wait, you're right

To be honest, tho', I'm not quite as slim as I'd like to be, so I'll leave stuff like that until I look slightly less blobby

Hi Sue

I was in Taunton for a business meeting this week at County Hall. I noticed a rather interesting shoe shop just around the corner from there (towards the high street) with lots of v. high heels in the window. Have you been in there? Is it worth a look?

My taxi whisked me straight back to the station, buit I'm there again in a couple of weeks and might be tempted to get a later train home if it's worth it.

Thanks

Hi Sue, and welcome.

I was in Taunton recently, and I spotted that shop too! I was driving, but caught a glance. I then couldn't find it again, which was a shame, as I'd had a free lunch hour I could have checked it out in. Anyway, a report would be nice, in case I make it down that way again!

Hiya! Welcome to the board. Hope you have fun here.

You could always push it all under the crotch like a tranny!!!

Er, thanks, but I think I'll stick with my regular jeans.

Very nice indeed!

sounds like it's a done deal then

I also have a 1 Megapixel camera (Kodak DC210+Zoom) and computers with over 60Gb free space I think it would take us weeks to fill that

only question now is, when?

I've got one of those exact same cameras, Francis. Excellent, aren't they! I'm planning to sell mine to my brother, and buy a new 2MP one, but I'll be sad to see the DC210 go.

Yeah sorry about the software bug. I'm suprised one as big as that ever got through php beta testing.

I was reading an in car entertainment/fast car mag the other day and it is a different language. You have to have a car which is "phat" (bulbous body styling kit), flourescent purple, rip out the back seat and replace with huge bass speakers, and drive around town "pumping it" , "F.U.King the rozzers(police)" !

I asked a young lad at our office what he thought of the 325i idea. He lost me somewhere around 'slamming it to the ground'... Apparently, I'm supposed to lower it, tint the windows and fit an enormous stereo. I think I quite like the standard look, myself.

And besides, if I lower it to the ground, I'll never be able to get in wearing heels!

I'm a boot-only guy too, although I also have a pair of really high fetish heels. I might buy a pair of ankle strap courts for a change, but I don't really see myself wearing them out anywhere. But for fun around the house, or the photoshoot, I just might!

Thanks, PJ. - Wait a minute. Four inches below the belly button?!? What have I got here that's about four inches? (Like you all couldn't guess ) That's really low! I don't think I'll try those trousers!

Do you guys wear platforms for trainspotting ? (Ducks quickly!)

if you have someone else to take photos for you it's easier than trying to take them yourself using the timer (if camera has on) or a mirror

True. Pictures taken in the mirror tend to be out of focus...

I don't mind hosting a photo session some time

I have a 1MP camera, which is good for about 450 photos, and a laptop in case we run out

If Francis hosts, then I'll bring the camera.

I don't think those model railway types will let us get away with it !

Perhaps we need to translate this into English!

Yes, please! I read this topic and didn't recognise it :rofl:

But hope to see you all in Brum!

I like Schuh and Bronx, but I've not had a lot of luck fitting into Bronx boots.

apart from that comfy loafer - yuk!

Welcome all!

And, don't worry, the 'comfy loafer' wears off quite soon, and you'll move onto higher things

Welcome! And as for the luxury/sport thing, I drive a Pug 406 for the closest to luxury I can afford, and I'm negotiating a deal for an old BMW 325i for sport.

I must admit, I like the look of court shoes with an ankle strap. I hadn't considered any bondage implications, but the padlock idea sounds, um, interesting. I suppose if you wore trousers with them, it'd be quite subtle. Seeing as I'm one of the poor chaps who can't wear heels to work, I can't say if I would or not, but I don't think I would. And, speaking of the model, who needs paperwork. Everything's on the computer, allowing more space for shoes. Sounds like a perfect working environment to me!

Good idea!

So do we do it all on the Brum trip or at evry meeting we go to?

It's just difficult getting flattering pictures of the shoes you're wearing! So, I thought we could take pictures for each other, then send the results off. Depends if PostCode minds getting lots of emails of photos of shoes. Somehow I don't think he'll mind too much

Apparently it caused over £3 million worth of improvements.

It'd have been a lot more if it was nearer Walsall!

I don't think I remember a 1991 earthquake, and I'd have been a student at the time. Oh. Actually, I don't think I remember 1991

Dudley is less than 30 miles from me, so my area did some serious rocking and rolling, apparently!

And it's been a long time since the earth moved in my house

I also have a digital camera so picture will not be a problem

Heck with it. Let's have a UK photoshoot, and we can then send the results off to PostCode
