I really need to take a leaf out of your book and start getting noticed for what I want to be noticed for instead of being noticed for wearing white shoes..

I have three pairs of white shoes. Ive always liked white shoes for some reason.
Recently, I invested in a pair of white Italian loafers for formal and social wear. They are very shiny white though so they are… distinctive..
So distinctive that when I wear them, people ( especially men ) in Glasgow cant help stop looking at me - well my feet. I don’t like the attention, they are only shoes! So my fellow Glaswegians, I ask: What makes you look at white shoes, then look at the shoe wearer as if they were a social shoe leper?
One such white shoe curio looked at them so much that he tripped and fell on his backside outside my work…. HA fookin HA..

Life — Stephen
Paul, I did not know you, however as an armchair snooker fan, as a human being I can only say:
Cancer, you sick bastard. You take no prisoners. You dont think, You dont have compassion.
You appear and you destroy lives, you tarnish others.
One day though I know that people will wake up, people will find things, and will then go to the Doctor and get ONE tablet or whatever. The cancer will be gone, like a stomach bug, like a head cold.
Your time is running out as a death sentence.
Paul, you only started to live, but you have made your mark and lived the life worth living.
RIP
Paul Hunter

The football win over France last night was incredible and will remain in my mind forever, just like when we beat Holland 1-0 back in Novemember 2003 ( My reasons for remembering that day are very personal and pointless to mention )
It was great to be out in Glasgow last night. Everyone was so happy and everyone felt proud to be a Scot. To experience this in Glasgow is very very rare. In fact I have never experienced it. It was as if the cancerous West of Scotland bigotry was cured.
Last night one could talk about football in any bar without fear of a moron asking ‘ Wit team dae ye support? ‘ I never saw any trouble either.
For once everyone was Scottish. Why cant it always be like this? Especially in Glasgow?
