red shoes, no knickers? Or are they ok?

Last pair of red shoes I had I was 12 and some scary girls on the bus sang "red shoes, no knickers" at me all the way to town. Can I be sure this won't happen again if I treat myself to red patent ballerina shoes?

no you can't

but that's part of the thrill of life

get 'em anyway

(NB you should have told them that traditionally it's 'fur coat, no knickers')

oh get over it really

you were twelve

people used to run after me chanting my name to freak me out

but I can use it now without incident

kiskidee · 03/04/2007 12:43

make sure you are wearing no knickers next time so you can wear a smug smile if you hear the chant again.

I thought it was 'red hat, no knickers'.

Was off to google the phrase, but just stopped myself in time, as I'm at work. Don't think that would have been wise.

Cappuccino · 03/04/2007 12:45

I've only been away a week

You can tell who OrvilleRedenbacher is from the spelling, can't you?

but it could have just been a really dim newbie with no pants on

I love red shoes.

Get them. They remind me of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz

where's the no knicker/nocker thread?!?!?!

dingdongjustforyoufg · 03/04/2007 13:08

I'm wearing red shoes to a wedding next Monday and DH wishes I'd wear no knickers (but this is the same DH who advised me to get 'magic' undies from M&S to go under the dress )

Mojomummy · 04/04/2007 10:04

LOVE red shoes & red boots

go get them, so much better than boring black any day!
