Things that make you go GRRRRR.... (Part 2)

That's Heswall but yes. I was there about 18 months ago. It's still good
 
See all I can offer is caldy hill & grange hill both within 200 yards and an expanse of yellow sand as far as Wales when the tide is out.
You need a mounty
 
Sorry! I appreciate the offer though, and I don't think mounties make enough money to keep me in the manner I want to become accustomed to...
 
Having to walk barefoot in the fields in the countryside. Bloody thorns all up my feet
 
Saw a fab house up for auction on t'internet, where we want to be, outside space for the kids to play in, inside space for us to fit their toys in, in the right place for work etc etc.

All we have to do us get liquid funds within weeks and win the auction, just a month after we started earning again after 6 months with no work.

Anyone want to buy an extensive range of used mankinis? Several have marks from gobfulls of tea spat out by Frodo when I forgot to tell her I was walking into the MAP Mod lounge.

Which is why you should go barefoot more often. Seriously. I've been going without shoes for the last 8/9 months now. My feet are getting ridiculously tough (well, the soles are anyway), I don't have to worry about them getting stinky because they got sweaty, I barely notice now when I stand on sharp or painful things and it freaks loads of people out. I have to say though I find barefoot walking ridiculously comfy compared to wearing shoes.

Only downside if I've eroded the soft, sticky grip on my feet most people have and can't grip to the damned floor in the dojo

Apparently barefoot running is far better for your legs long term than running in trainers too.
 
Mine are like that. But skimpier.

I'm like him but hairier and carry a lot more weight. Should I just say folds and leave it at that?

Plus, certain things are more, well, prominent. At least when Frodo is around.

The mental image is getting pretty hilarious now



So what, you're one of those guys that sucks their gut in and puff their chest out when a woman walks past, calls it "lazy muscle" or being "festively plump all year round"?

Anyway, put me down for about seven. I can mesh them together to turn me into a "human spider" for All Hallow's Eve. Sure I can traumatize enough kids to get some sweets of them.
 
Wild dog stole my shoes


I go barefoot pretty much all year around. That's very common here, especially in the summer. But trust me, you don't want to go barefoot anywhere near these:
 
Out of curiosity, what's the weather normally like in...wherever you are?

And ouch! Yeah, they're not nice. I thought you meant something like rose thorns which aren't too bad. At least not quite as bad as someone lining your sleeping bag with genestealers and jumping into it.



I've not done that, but I know someone who has. And those plastic claws are really hard
 
Oh, well carry on then. You're free from my scrutiny and I recommend MAP member John R. Gambit for protection against stray dogs, he handles canines well.

I grew up in central Florida in the U.S. (central Florida is pretty country in the sense of 'redneck') and unless I was going to school or work I was barefoot. I had a weight set and tire in the back yard and I used to work out bare foot too : P. However there is a certain time of year (I believe it was in Aug-Sep) where these little sand spurs would grow in the grass everywhere. That time of year was the time of shoes at all times : P. My wife thinks I'm a dirty mongrel because I like being bare foot, but she grew up in the big ol' city : P.

Sandspurs, they grow in the thousands in the grass:
 
LOL.
I'm in Apulia. The weather's usually very hot here. In the winter, when it's most (relatively) cold, the temperature is around 10-12 degrees celsius. Right now it's 40 celsius or so
 
Bloomin' 'eck, I couldn't cope in heat like that anymore. As a kid I would have been fine, but as an adult I have taken to hiding in colder temperatures. That's the kind of temps that leaves me sitting all Jack Jones, feeling brown betty wishing I had even less barnet fair than I do. Horrible weather.

Try going barefoot in minus five, that's when people look at you like there is something wrong with you
 
I'll have to try that, just to see the people's face

Reminds of when I was sleeveless in Hyde Park at 2 a.m. last autumn, with my friends wearing woolen pullovers and jackets, and yelling "You're going to die, like people in Titanic!". I didn't
 
Nice

My favourite time was a few years back, just after christmas day. Minus five, snow on the ground, everybody's wrapped up in duffel coats, scarves, gloves, etc. The whole shebang.

Like a boss, I walk out in sandals, thin shorts and t-shirt and casually go shopping. My wife has never been so embarrassed
