I was walking towards someone this morning on the street and we both moved towards the same spot in order to pass each other by and ended up doing that little dance you do in those situations. To me it's no ones fault and a little smile to acknowledge the situation is usually warranted and is generally what happens. Except this sour faced wagon wasn't one bit impressed and rather than a smile I got a 'fcuk sake get out of my way' and then she shouldered me! Pedestrian rage

On the wellie front, Hunter wellies are excellent, try Shuperb UK, you may be surprised at the prices. A good tip for cold feet in wellies is buy them a size larger than normal and use a template to cut a piece of carper to insert in the "foot".

The 20 quid jobs from Pennies etc are ****e and wont last the winter. The likes of Hunter will last years, and will be comfortable.

I think I'll just get them. I always go to pennies for mine but they split so easy. I'm on the farm a lot so I need a pair that don't get my feet wet.

No they stink! Anybody who goes to the public area of a golf club after a round without showering and changing is an disgrace.
I know of no golfer who doesn't shower after a game and before going to the clubhouse. That's why they have the facilities!

Good honest sweat refers to honest hard work, not to the smell of the bacteria that quickly forms in that sweat afterwards. Yuck!

Nothing wrong with that! You can pick up some great quality stuff in there for next to nothing, often good as new.

Absolutely, and most buying are neither old nor on social welfare. Its just normal shopping nowadays. A bargain is a bargain to anybody.

...Weird mountain girl coming in with mucky boots boy!...

Heh. I was doing a bit of heavy-ish yard work on New Year's Eve morning and decided to nip out and get my hair cut. The only place open was a salon run by a bloke who does the odd bit of barbering. So there I was, muddy engineer's boots, old britches reeking of diesel and earth, ripped scruffy jumper and about three days stubble, in the middle of all these Dorises waiting for their whatever-it-is-they-have-in-those-places. That was fun - I think most of them thought I was the Yeti! :pac:

Same here. I have 2 pairs of Hunter wellies and they were worth every penny. I had to buy a second pair because the first pair were bought pre-leg break and the left one can't accommodate my swollen leg now. They are really comfortable, really hard wearing, waterproof and very supportive.

When I see poser types out wearing Hunter wellies with jeans on a shopping trip I always have a giggle, mine are at home caked in ****. Definitely not a fashion statement.

Idiots :rolleyes: The only time I wear mine to the shops is if I am out with the dogs and I decide to drive down the shops on the way and too lazy to change. Usually get some odd looks too. Weird mountain girl coming in with mucky boots boy!

Friend of mine bought a pair in a shop on O'Connell Street (where they are, of course, more expensive) and she got ones with a "nice soft satiny leg" - why?) She gets excited when it rains now because she has an excuse to wear them to work

I do remember wearing them to exams before. I'd no time for shoe shopping before and as I was walking to the exam hall I wasn't going to wear heels. Got a few strange looks but you know, they were comfy and warm! (and they got me a pass with flying colours!)

Sitting on the couch having breakfast this morning. What ever move I made, the corner of the cushion beside me jabbed me straight in the eye. My eye has been blood shot all morning like a Cyclops. It happened hours ago, now I know it's concern but could you please stop asking what happened, give me an upturned plug instead anyday!!

I love my uggs too. I bought a pair of Sorel boots for myself for Christmas so I could avoid wearing my uggs outside and they are fab. My feet are toasty warm and they're so supportive and comfy

Edit: and I have hunter wellies and they were worth every penny too!

Well to me you would! Sorry....MCS here... I avoid any crowded places because of perfumes and conditioners. Many folk would not notice if they use conditioner etc. All I use here is fragrance free non bio powder and simple plain soap so I notice the difference.

Those Ugg boots are still the giddy limit for me. I still ask the odd chungwan where her team of huskies and sled made out of a walrus rib-cage are. Mush!! :pac:

In fairness, I was talking about the boots and bags from a functional point of view. As I said, my boots are at home caked in mud. Very much function over form. I could go to Dunnes and buy a pair for twenty but I have done that many times in the past and it's a false economy because they simply do not last. I am not a label whore, I simply recognise when something suits my needs and is actually cheaper in the long run.

OldNotWise Sweet jebus I had the misfortune a couple of years ago to go into Hollister or Abercomie (all the same to me) to buy the teenage nephew a present.
It was so dark I needed a torch to see anything and after a 30 minute wait in the queue my eyes were streaming from godawful stench of their cheapass perfume.

Lenor smells nice though! It's not overbearing at all. So you're NOT an TA!
