Bitey Knight, Spiro.

SupermenacingLBD · 18/10/2011 23:39

Naughty knight Spiro. And Lady D too, as I have to head up myself.

Converse trainers!! Now I feel really old!! Don't teenagers where them?!Grin

Maud!! Poor toe . I've had a similar rubbish dr appointment system. Don't see why they don't all use one system. My current surgery you can book appointments on-line! Very swish!

pARGHssTheTwiglets · 19/10/2011 07:00

Maud, if you can't get to a doctor today, can I recommend Solpadeine Max? They are the only over-the-counter drug that touches bad pain for me. Lots of lovely codeine. How is it today?

I don't own and have never tried on Converse - I don't really get them, do you wear them like trainers? Boots? And presumably they can't get wet (they look like canvas, yes) I do quite like them but have always wondered if they are comfy or not And hi-tops can only be worn with trousers if you have legs like mine so that's a bit restrictive. SKinny-legged Amy Pond ROCKS this look though They're on my list of things to try though.

pARGHssTheTwiglets · 19/10/2011 07:07

LOL, just a small thing but missing out punctuation makes this look completely different. I meant to say "(they look like canvas, yes?)" but the ommitted question mark makes it look like I'm giving myself information, Yoda-style :)

btw Vampy, don't think I didn't notice - you are on my list :)

TransylvanianVampiress · 19/10/2011 07:32

Oh my giddy aunt!! Would you look at that?!Shock. I put where instead of wear!

::hangs head in shame and shuffles out of Academy before she's ejected forcefully for appalling grammar and spellingBlush::

Twigs!Grin. Although I hope that's not your own personal LoL?!ConfusedGrin

DumSpiroScaro · 19/10/2011 07:44

I wear mine with jeans or combats, Twigs. They are almost like walking barefoot Grin, but don't be tempted to buy imitations. I got a lovely purple pair on eBay, new, for £7 on the grounds that I wasn't fussed about them having a label on them - they looked great but the fit was rubbish. I couldn't believe the difference when I bought myself the real thing.

TransylvanianVampiress · 19/10/2011 08:01

Hmm I shall ask the Colonel but something tells me he wouldn't approve of me in converse trainers. I shall ask him as a point of discussion this evening! But with size 8 feet Confused I really think they may not be that flattering on me!! AP though does carry them off well! Jealous of her? me? Never!EnvyEnvyEnvyGrin

pARGHssTheTwiglets · 19/10/2011 08:24

Vampy, you can be on my LoL if you want (I charge £5 for the honour) but I was referring to when you said that I hadn't noticed your sarcasm about my decorating saga, so I meant that you were on a sort of list of trouble :)

Do they do sparkly ones? I had some gooooorgeous silver sequinned plimsolls (£5 from Asda!) that I used to love but they fell apart after about 3 weeks.

pARGHssTheTwiglets · 19/10/2011 08:25

Oh they do make sparkly ones!!

TransylvanianVampiress · 19/10/2011 14:13

heard on the radio this morning and it reminded me of our music nostalgia evening!!

School disco last dances when I was standing alone and sad and dancing round handbags swaying with my female friends is what this always reminds me off!!

But I just knew there had to be a link to ouR mAn somewhere in the Academy library. And oh how emotional it is too!

TransylvanianVampiress · 19/10/2011 14:18

For menace (I think?! was suggesting them?Hmm). I'm sure they do overseas delivery too!! Grin [enjoy!]

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 19/10/2011 15:04

Vampy are you very tall?

TransylvanianVampiress · 19/10/2011 15:33

Only a mere 5 foot 11inches, unless I'm wearing heels Small, so not too tall for a 6ft 2in man! Wink And I can almost still breath up here despite the lower oxygen levels!! Grin

DumSpiroScaro · 19/10/2011 16:17

Good lord - you're a giant definitely no good for a dwarf at all Grin!

Hi ladies - hope all's well and toes are mending.

Just noticed that the Marie Lloyd biopic is being repeated on BBC4 on Wednesday 26 October at 10.00pm.

Squeaky, squeak, squeak...! Wink

LadyDamnearhell · 19/10/2011 16:29

I was just coming to post that exact same thing, Spiro Grin.

And , don't say I never give you anything!

LadyDamnearhell · 19/10/2011 16:31

Surely I'm not the only one who remembers this choon

::flashbacks to Junior school discos::

Come on Vampy, you'll know this.

::sways from foot to foot while wearing denim dungarees, hoodie and wallabies::

TransylvanianVampiress · 19/10/2011 17:27

Of course I remember the choon LadyD - I however, have no recollection of ever wearing denim dungarees, hoodies or in fact mini-australian marsupials!! ::whispers - what are wallabiesConfused::

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 19/10/2011 17:31

I remember the choon too Lady D but I'm doing my best to forget it Grin.

Hoorah! Another tally on the thread, Vampy we are surround by minature folk on here, tread carefully with those size 8s. Wink

TransylvanianVampiress · 19/10/2011 17:35

Ooh Smally - you high up here with me too?! Much better view and much better for PSM's back I feel - no bending required! Grin

LadyD - I loved Spiro's present - I think I might steal it before she comes back to the thread!!! I'll only borrow it and bring it back, promise!.....

TheSmallBloodiedFingerPrint · 19/10/2011 17:37

I'm about an inch shorter than you but slouch very badly so look about five foot nothing , Mr Small is very tall, I think I have a pic on my profile and will show you our relative heights...

DumSpiroScaro · 19/10/2011 17:40

Vampy - talons off you cheeky mare!

Lady D - thank God it's just jackets and salad for dinner, otherwise it would be burnt offerings again

TheSmallPrint · 19/10/2011 17:44

OK I've had to put my name back to normal to get photos for some reason Confused

TheSmallPrint · 19/10/2011 17:46

You need to go down to the second from bottom to see the height relationship.
