No - not the christmas present type variety, but the current mrs wilkojohnson purchased five pairs for me last week - just got them out of the wrapper (well it's not a wrapper as in a sweet wrapper) when I realised that they had the days of the week on them. Cue much merriment on my part, for unbeknown to the good lady she bought them without knowing they had the weekdays on them. 'Just because I class myself as a student (mature OU student) you don't have to treat me like a bloody schoolkid! 'You don't seriously expect me to walk in my new socks on the day after Tuesday or the day before Thursday do you?' - and quotes like that to all and sundry for the past few days. Anyway today's the day I wear the first pair for the first time and the word 'Monday' is printed on the sole of the offending clothing - bit of a relief for me 'cos I tend to wear shorts 364 days a year and don't want any ribbing from anyone thank you! When I gets back in from taking Scooter the dog for his morning walk the current mrs wilkojohnson says to me 'You know those new socks I bought you last week' -Yep says I suspiciously 'Well' she says - 'the day after tomorrow you can say you've walked all over 'Wed***day' Sometimes I don't know if my mrs is a genius.......... Too much procrastinating - got my end of year exams tomorrow and yes the day after tomorrow - and yer know what I'm going in my new socks - both days - the exams are in She***eld as well
Good luck with your exams, old mate. I had to complete two 1500 words essays, a 2000 word report, a 3000 word report & a 5000 word report for mine. You can never have enough socks. That's what I've been asking for when Father's Day comes round.
Good luck with your exams - what modules are they for? I've got three coming up - one tomorrow morning, one Thursday and one on Monday. Currently desperately trying to cram as much fluid dynamics into my head as possible!
I don't think I've ever bought socks myself in my life. I get them from my parents every Xmas and you get others given as gifts at times, they last longer than a year so I get quite a stock. Had a clear out a couple of months ago I chucked (charidee) about 30 pairs and still had about 20 left. You can never have enough socks. Or ties. Or scruds. I used to be the same with watches but I've stopped wearing them now.
Thanks for the good luck messages - just hope I don't need luck! The exams are Mathematics & more Maths As for the socks - haven't bought any for yonks and then all of a sudden loads of pairs get oils in 'em PS - just as well they've got days of the week printed on them - I'm a tad colour blind........
Another sock story.........grandson aged 2 gets dropped off at our house for me to look after him for the day, his dads a wednesday fan .durring the day the little un pulls off his navy blue with a yellow trim socks. È About that time my mother comes down and we get on to the subject of the bfc shop...... we both agree how piss poor it is for getting stuff with the barnsley logo on for kids. look at these socks i say to her this shows the the void between the two clubs, wednesday are doing socks in their away colours for toddlers all you get at oakwell are dribble bibs.....speaks volumes about the marketing department at hillsborough and joke well. 5 hours later i take him home and say to the son inlaw and daughter......the young uns feet stink terrible, they smell like pig muck...... the daughter quickly smells the young uns feet and snaps back....they dont.... yes they do , i reply ....take another whiff.....its pig muck..... the son in law takes a sniff and says those socks were clean on this morning. His feet dont stink its not his feet that stinks its his sheffield wednesday socks......i come back at him laughing..... A puzzled look comes over his face he hasnt got any sheffield wednesday socks , the others like that say monday tuesday thursday friday saturday and sunday.... whoops .......exit one stupid looking grandad....lol
