Yeah, that didn't work - your great ideas that weren't

The laces on my slippers kept coming undone. Hot glue had to be the answer. But, as the hot glue went on clear, it was hard to see how much I'd applied.



I'll pop out for some brown paint later.

When ar were a lad, I needed some petrol to clean a small component on my Sprite. As the fuel filler was quite large with an uninterrupted view of the fuel in the tank, I devised a ladle made from coat hanger wire and a yoghurt pot. The wire survived and, more by luck than judgement, did the engine with its petrol/plastic mix after the pot dissolved.

No respectable PH'er wears slippers.

And it would have been better to tie a double knot surely than faff all over them

Well, believe it or not, I was attempting to make a better job of it than I did last time.



Knots come undone, double knots come undone. Drastic action was needed.

That, and hoping the M&S Slipper Feedback Line alerted them to the shortcomings of their laces and they changed them. It was a forlorn hope.

To be fair you probably have made better job of it, apart from the aesthetics aspect..

Can you not touch up the glue with a brown marker, at least it will not look like you have er................you know what over them.

Oh, come, come, no need to be coy.

Flat laces are the answer. Round laces are the work of the devil.

This, 100%

I hope you don’t mean in every application. Flat laces in proper shoes makes you look like you have special needs

Special needs? I bet they're only halfway along the Velcro Scale.

You know you've given up on life when your slippers have laces.

I was assured they were the height of a la mode. They sold me some flared trousers too. Nice people.

Many, many years ago, my dad decided to lay a patio. He and mum had agreed random shape crazy paving. To save money he bought slabs of random thickness. The suppliers must have glad to see the back of them. What a palaver trying to get the tops level. This done, he decided to save time with the pointing and chose a very thin pouring epoxy. Yeah, that didn't work. It went everywhere. To say my mum wasn't pleased is a bit of an understatement.
