    Can anyone remember what this ad was for?

    It went something like this:

    Bloke walks up to door of nightclub, and doorman says 'sorry mate, no trainers' then bloke does jedi mind trick and says 'trainers are cool' then the guy lets him in.

    They're quite trendy these days.

    When I was a kid in England, the flash kids with the Nike and Adidas used to refer to DGF as Borstal Breakouts.

    'Plimsoll' has to be gayest word in the English language. It makes me giggle like a naughty schoolgirl, at least.
