I always work out barefoot and I run in a flimsy pair of plimsols. I just move so much better without shoes, I’m faster, stronger and more mobile with no shoes or plimsoles and my body aches a whole lot less when I’m not wearing shoes.
It’s got to the point where normal shoes make me clumsy and I feel like I’m strapped to planks of wood. [/quote]
Had to google Plimsols. So basically they are chucks.[/quote]
I have a feeling your saw old plimsols kids would have to wear at school, they are quite like chucks but don’t look half as good.
Think of chucks with absolutely no padding that you could squash up into a ball with one hand. They are the poor mans vibrams and you can wear them without getting the strange looks. They’re meant as casual shoes but I have a few pairs and where them whenever I can get away with it which is any time other than work.
They cost me �??�??�?�£3 and do exactly the same job as vibrams and all those other overpriced barefoot shoes.[/quote]
I remember plimsols when I was a kid living in England. They were black with tan-colored soles and reminded me of ninja shoes.[/quote]
You lived in England? your quite the wandering man aint you?
And yes! I thought they were like ninja shoes aswell[/quote]
I lived in Exeter from 1977 to 1979 then Margate from 1979 to 1982.
I also remember in PE class if you’d forgotten your shorts then you did PE in your underwear! This was all boys and girls together of course. It happened to me once or twice.
I was 4 when we moved there from Canada so I gained an accent, which I slowly lost after returning to Canada. It’s something that happens subconsciously I think, and losing was not done consciously either.
Now I wish I still had it, or to be more specific I wish I still had it when I was 18…I would’ve gotten more dates than I did I’m sure.
The reminds me …one time, when I was 19 or 20, me and a buddy went out for dinner and a movie with two girls he went to high school with…on the way to get them he said I should put on a fake English accent for these ladies, and we’ll tell them I’d just come to Canada for a vacation.
Well I did that, and both girls ended up just talking to me and ignoring my buddy…so halfway through dinner he asks “Sean, can you put on a fake Canadian accent?”
I caught his drift so I went back to my Canadian accent (I’d lost my English accent about a year after returning, when I was about 11) and He said “You should try the Canadian accent for the rest of the night.”
