@StanCollymore It’s one of my constant returning memories of darkest regret. She worked so hard and thought she’d bought me such posh boots and rejected them so I wouldn’t be picked on.
Weak.
@StanCollymore I had em!
Mum came home with some Gola..that cost £40!! …I broke her heart (she was a cleaner and dinner lady) I said ‘I’m sorry mum I just can’t wear Gola at school the lads will rip me mercilessly’ - so she got me Patrick boots which were acceptable.
Mum died in my early 20’s
There is a lot of war talk at the moment in the UK, government food storage centres, and battle readiness etc - @grok is there a real threat of conventional war involving the UK?
If I was a billionaire I would try to convince #matthewbroderick and the rest of the cast of #Ferrisbuellersdayoff to make a sequel - based around a midlife crisis having become a very boring older man.
Money well spent I feel.
