Watch this space...and prepare to avert your gaze.

[144man]

I was wearing my jimjams.

[westgrandboulevard]

You can come out now, Moe.....

[moe]

Are you sure????

[144man]

Would he lie to you?

[westgrandboulevard]

I'm awaiting the response with great interest.....

[moe]

No.....he wouldn't'

[144man]

He's right. You're perfectly safe with me. Trust me.

[westgrandboulevard]

I remember similar exchanges to this being made in the playground....

[moe]

Cross your fingers, fellas!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I remember running around the playground, seemingly aimlessly, trying to avoid being touched by someone who was 'it'.....

[moe]

.............and then you were "it"!!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I know!! Oh....the horror of it. I then had to run as quick as possible, and touch someone else, so that they would then be 'it'.

It was like I had the bubonic plague or something.....

[moe]

Yes, I have experienced that as a child!!!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Just once or twice since, I've wondered if it's happening all over again...

[moe]

You're it!!! HAHA!!! Computer fixed............

[westgrandboulevard]

It's like having an old and favourite pair of shoes returned from the menders. Remember that?

[moe]

Oh yes, the shoe repair man. When repairing was more cost effective than a new pair!!

[westgrandboulevard]

They would have to be a very expensive pair now, to justify the cost. There are, of course, a lot of expensive shoes which, once bought, then see little or no wear at all....

[moe]

Of which I am guilty, westgrand!!

[westgrandboulevard]

...and at which I am not the least surprised, Moe!

[moe]

They can be works of art!!

[westgrandboulevard]

As in, admired by people walking around them, rather than walking around IN them?!

[moe]

Yes, I won't lie, westgrand..........

[westgrandboulevard]

That must represent a good 75% of the shoes sold to women.....

[moe]

That's a reasonable assumption westgrand

[westgrandboulevard]

Some of those shoe manufacturing bosses must be well heeled.

[moe]

It's based solely on your results!

[westgrandboulevard]

You could be tied into some crazy designs....

[moe]

That would cause painful feet

[westgrandboulevard]

And strange looking feet, too. And there are plenty around...

[144man]

No corny jokes please.

[westgrandboulevard]

I wouldn't want to be thought callous.

[moe]

Or a heel!

[westgrandboulevard]

No, of course. I can tell we are in instep....

[144man]

All together now: "The world is just a great big bunion...".

[westgrandboulevard]

There's mischief afoot here......

[144man]

I've never really been into shoes.

[westgrandboulevard]

Well, upon my sole!

[144man]

My shoes are falling to pieces. What steps should I take?

[westgrandboulevard]

Walk this way....

[144man]

If I walked that way, they'd arrest me...!

[westgrandboulevard]

That happened to my Auntie Vera. She had an addiction for shoes. Couldn't resist them. Was walking down Oxford Street, London, and saw a shop sign : "Giant Shoe Sale". Not five minutes had passed, and out she came, wearing a pair of stilettos, size 22. The police found her clinging to the shop front....

[144man]

Many years ago, the Queen was visiting the East End of London, when the heel of her shoe broke. Luckily enough this happened just outside the shop of a Jewish shoe-repairer, and he proudly mended the shoe. In fact, he was so proud that he put a sign in his shop window: "COBBLERS TO THE QUEEN". The next day, the owner of the shop next door put a sign in his window saying, "BALLS TO THE CHIEF RABBI".

[westgrandboulevard]

To say nothing of R. Soles, in Kings Road, Chelsea....

[moe]

Who's that westgrand?

[westgrandboulevard]

I've said it once, Moe...I'll not say it again....

[moe]

No problem westgrand!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

On the subject of no problem, hope those bats were caught and released from your basement - !

[moe]

I am not making this up, westgrand: went down to the basement & the bats haven't been seen since............
