I was sitting down and lifted my foot to look at the sock I was wearing:
When I put both feet together and looked at the socks the penny dropped:
The other sock has an 'L' at the top so this must designate 'left' and the other 'right'.
How clever this is but it obviously doesn't work as the 'R' was on my left foot and the 'L' was on my right foot. What's that about?

Anyway, on another matter concerning footwear, at Christmas-time I purchased some sturdy walking shoes from Mountain Warehouse. These are strong and well made and cost over $200. I wore them once and walked a few kms around town but they hurt my feet. I put this down to the fact that I was recovering from a broken toe at the time.
The other day I wore them for the second time, again walking about town but ended up with sore toes.
Looking closely at them I realised that I hadn't bought 'wide-fitting' shoes like the Sketchers I buy and, while there is nothing wrong with the shoes they are not suited to my feet.
Unfortunately I don't have the receipt for these to return them for credit or exchange so plan to give them away to an Op Shop. Before I do this however ,I'd like to offer them to Richard or Robert if they want them provided that they can wear a standard or narrow (not wide-fitting) shoe. Either of you please let me know before I donate them to charity.
They are size 11 UK or 12 US and have only been worn twice.

You're just trying to trick Robert to wear those shoes to golf so that he'll get sore feet, then you might be able to beat him. Scoundrel!
That goes against the 9th commandment. "Don't give someone else your tight fitting shoes."
The sandal that is tight does not make a gift, it makes a sin. Gerald 7.21

I take it, from your rude and ungrateful comments that you are not interested in the very expensive and smart shoes for your big fat feet.
That's a rather terse comment TC about Richard's supposed 'big fat feet'
You should compliment him though in that at least he's in proportion as those feet match his head.

There is more hair on my head than there is on my feet. Could the same be said for TC?
I'd be keen to try them. I have a similar pair I wore to golf last time from 'Torpedo" but they are a bit big and on some of those steep inclines my feet were uncomfortably sliding around in them. I've only worn those a couple of times....maybe we could swap if each finds the others better!
You can have them.
Maybe give the Torpedos to your ungrateful brother.
Thanks...maybe we could meet and whack a few balls around somewhere.
Go shoes what choose to wear. (Using Robrite there.)
Willis Grove sounds good.
Yes, there are no raccoons to hurt out here.
If that is what your willis.
I'm growing a moustache for the mo era.
Like the man that always bought clothes from the op shops. He said "why newee o matters?"
Jesus got his thorn hat from a guy named Don.
Thorn Don.
You guys have got to stop getting your puns and witticisms from Richard’s grandsons.
They are far too sophisticated for you.
Why's that, fat feet?
One of Richard's grandsons.
Hey kid - your grandmother wears army boots!
No disrespect to Shelley of course, This saying is from the 1950s and is still in use in Thorndon today:
"Your mother/grandmother wears army boots" is a mild, old-fashioned insult popular in the 1950s, implying a woman is unrefined, manly, or poor. It historically suggested the mother worked manual labor or, post-WWII, relied on surplus, though it is often considered a silly or unimaginative taunt today.

Well done!

The snipe at a tiny minority of Catholic Priests is suggestive of bigotry.
Fourteen percent Robert - that's hardly a tiny minority. At last checking I believe that's about one in seven but maybe your 'catholic calculator' shows different.
It's not that small. The fact that there are any, among the 'holy men', is a huge put off. How does God allow that to happen? He should crucify all the offenders!
Robert's gone again.
He's like a ghost - maybe a holy one or like that guy who transubstantiates himself. Maybe also like that bilocation guy.
Hey! They sound like superheroes from Marvel. The Catholic Church should patent and franchise the stories in to films for a younger audience.
Our local Catholic church has just locked its doors. They've put up a sign that reads, "14% of our clergy have behaved in a way that mocks what we say we stand for. We advise you to keep your children well away from Catholic clergy. The risk is just too high."
