It should be obligatory if you have those on.

 

Some alcy got on at New Strand the other week and was eyeing up mine. When i stared back he said "where did you get yer trabs from?"  

 

So i said "Size"

 

and he replied "doesn't matter, where did you get yer trabs from?"

 

 

 

I got off the train then.

 

Do you mean the Strand only wools would call it New Strand.

Well, being from the South end of Liverpool, i naturally avoided Bootle for years (i only found out there was a place called Orrell Park when i was 23), but sadly having to work there now, i refuse to conform to whatever the one toothed, inbred locals call it.  

 

In fact, i should have said "Bootle New Strand" or "hell" to give it it's full title.

As i said, i didn't venture North of Allerton (other than going in to town) for years, I was aware that the shopping centre was called "The Strand", but i've never thought about the train station being called "The Strand", because it isn't.  

 

Did it change it's name or something? As i still can't get my head around "South Liverpool Parkway" instead of good old "Allerton" station.

That's what it is people say getting off or on at Strand as it's associated with the shops.

When the shops where built in the 60/70's I think, the shop where called Bootle new strand so the station must have took the name and no one uses the new when the talk about the Strand.I might be wrong.

 

 

Check the Watch thread.

Anyone been to the Adidas Spezial exhibition by Gary Aspden that's on in Manchester at the minute? I'm going to try and get there later this week.

Went today with the wife. Not my thing but the wife said to me " ĺee. I need a cig and a line " her way of saying she's in nirvana.

I've got a set of these, bit weather-beaten these days:

Not everyone cup's of tea in colour, but I loved the clean cut of the shape and just fancied something different.

 

I've shelled a horrifying amount of cash on Adidas trainers over the years.  Possibly my favourite were the Metal Mickey Forest Hills:

Also had these Superstars, produced for some anniversary or other.

On reflection, I've owned some horrendously lairy trainers.  Obviously had plenty of normal coloured Sambas, Gazelles, Stan Smiths, miscellaneous shell-toes, etc.
