I am pretty sure they were somewhat more conservative. What will always stagger me is that Sharks shoes do exist.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-63803619860538735852012-08-11T09:06:45.037+10:002012-08-11T09:06:45.037+10:00Cool, man - that's what you lose.

They are sort of 'barefoot' shoes and look like frogs' feet, but I thought you may have been advised that they would work well for you. We all know about the shop assistant. She is the one I get when I shop just about anywhere these days, unless it specifically caters for the aging and overweight. <br /><br />Hmm. Walk a mile in my shoes? Sharks swim, and are tough guys.Stamp stamp. Poo to young smartie pants-s, you know what you need and it works for you. <br /><br />Sounds good.

I'm also glad that it WAS a dream - I once gave my son a bit of a bollocking when he ended the story he had written so unwillingly for school with "I woke up and realised it had all been a dream".

For a moment there, though, my heart did a little dance for you before I figured out it was a dream, when you tried on the shoes and "stamped about in them".Roshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339472107640597921noreply@blogger.com
