Though perhaps not shoe laces of the desired quality.

I think it suits some shoes&boots to wrap the laces around before tying them. I do it on my Yuketens and sometimes on my Chucks when I’m too lazy to tie them completely.
Some of my boots are too small in the instep so I have to remove the laces from the upper eyelets and when I’m in a hurry I just wrap the laces around the heel. -
I only do it on my Smokejumpers because the laces are flippin' long. No one sees it though. I wrap them through the pull tab for added (though unneeded) stability.

I wear velcro shoes , so no need to be close to a shoe lace provider . Ha ha

It drives me fuckin crazy that the laces on my Wolverine 1ks are juuuuust too short to wrap them around the boot. I don't really have strong feelings for/against looping laces, but mine just make big floppy bows. I would rather have laces either a few inches shorter or longer. I'm in a no-mans land full of silly-looking shoestrings.
…..maybe this post belongs in rants.

- people who use umbrellas can fuck right off.

I would rather get wet than navigate a city with a big fuck off piece of shit umbrella. I often suppress the urge to beat those dopes who believe their umbrella is a force field and I'm supposed to make room for them if I come within range. Makes me mildly happier when I see one destroyed by the tamer winter elements, shoved in anger into a bin.

We should have a bouncer for this thread who refuses the pussies entrance…
Perhaps some kind of questionnaire is in order, a checklist for ponces if you will... "Do you listen to Radiohead" could be a good first question. If the answer is "Yes", then alas, a swift kick to the bollocks followed by being thrown out of the thread would follow...
I have six Radiohead albums.
I'll get me coat.

Radiohead is a total blind spot for me. I only know the song creep. Call me ignorant, I can live with it.

ok,
today i will go and try to outlive the day by listening to radiohead under a umbrella whilst carrying a tote bag full of nailpolish! -
You should see the diaper bag I have to lug around
I bought a TADgear dispatch bag for that purpose. No way I was carrying a fecking petunia pickle bottom.

Lucky for me, the wife likes this one too. Timbuk2 is a good company…stands behind its products. I had a bag "fail" (tiny bit of padding started to rip off after 10 years) and they sent me a new one no questions asked.
