That's all I was up to until today. Today was a big one. I didn't even realize I'd passed it until I was on the way home. It's almost a gate which we pass through and head down the road toward retirement, old age, senility, and the rest of the good stuff waiting for us all. Today, I commenced down that path, trod by so many before me. I went out and bought a pair of slippers

[Zed]

mate; two words for you... ugh boots.

[womble]

I had slippers at 18...:confused: Musta been old before my time

[craigb]

What Zed said.
(although I don't own a pair myself. Slippers either)

[Daddles]

Gumby, you've got it all wrong. As a recent initiate to the final of the aforementioned steps, may I point out the you may now claim ALL actions declared by the great unwashed as unsociable, unmentionable or just plain bad practice, as a result of WOODSHEIMER'S DISIEASE

Crikey Gumby, happy milestone , you can celebrate if you wish as it was -11 in Glenn Innes this morning, which in my book is equivalent to that place freezing over.:eek:

Yous dont know what your missing out on. Hush puppies are the ultimate for winter days in the workshop

Yep, warm 'boots' in winter.

And stuff the Code of Practice for the shed.... I'll even wear a scarf if its that bloody cold.

Ugg boots get to much crap down in them and you have to keep taking them of the blow em out

However lacking in couth, I just add socks to my deck shoe tootsie warmers. I must admit though that if I step on a stray screw that's fallen on the floor, I can tell if it's a #6 or #8 when I stand on it

Not if the trackie dacks go over the top of the boots, old mate

[Lignum]

Moccies out west are the prefered footware for all occasions. If they have a good win at the dogs they will lash out and get some full length uggies (lace up of course) But never Hush puppies... to toffie

No, but it brings on short term memory loss
