I once sold myself my own shoes.

Sole buyer as well as sole trader, ay?

Heel be kicking himself later,with his new old shoes possibly.

I thought it was only the SC Joke Thread that became laced with nested puns? Let's just polish them all off now before we get rebuffed.

Odd. Everybody appears to have lost their tongues.

[Fishtigua]

Aye, not even talking in a strange brogue.

This thread is laced with puns, I hope it comes to heel soon.

I suggested to the GF we should drive over to Europe, maybe a bit of a road trip. It would be romantic.

"Won't that be a bit uncomfortable?"

I booked Eurostar instead.

I think i'm with the wrong girl.

[McAndy]

He broke the thread! I'll try again by slippering one in.

The Whiff doesn't know what to make of my constant punnery. She keeps flip-flopping on whether she likes or dislikes it. I'm trying to get her round to my way of thinking, but it's difficult to train 'er.

[iva cosworth]

Two left feet.
Boots on the wrong foot.
Who's going to foot the bill ?

[budfox]

OK, here's the story.

I used to work in the 2nd hand uniform shop at my son's school. (Yes I know.... anyway, moving on).

People used to bring bags of uniform to the house for me to put up for sale in the shop. One day one such bag was in my lounge, and I put my rather nice M&S shoes on top of it without thinking.

Roll on one week and the uniform from the bag is now in the shop and for sale, including the shoes. (The shop opens once per month).

Roll on another couple of weeks and I realise that I've lost my nice shoes.

Roll on one more week and it's time for the shop to open again and I spot some shoes for sale, very similar to the ones I'd lost. And would you believe it....they're in my size.

Bye bye one tenner, hello replacement shoes.

Took me at least a year to realise what I'd done.

[iva cosworth]

I'm older than you 2 ^^ but younger than pad n Dicky.

Big fan of Dire Straits but don't think I found them from day 1,probably few years later.

[DickyC]

[Impasse]

I'm guessing you're right (especially as I've just worked out i'd have been 6 must learn to do maths one day!)

[TheChampers]

I've researched Sultan's Of Swing just now and altough it was first released in 1978, the Wiki article suggests I may not have heard it until 1979, when it became a hit in the UK, 13 then

1979, what a year (give or take 12 months, it's a long time ago ) for music that was <sigh> Tubeway Army, The Jam, Ian Dury, Blondie, Kate Bush, The Skids, The Ruts The Boomtown Rats........I could go on, leave me to my youth
