Even Sports Direct are better than Dunelm

Sports Direct have just published the review I did of their trainers :)

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live

Without trainers that had died

But then I spent so many nights

Thinking how to right the wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to lace through the tongue

And so I went back

To a familiar place

I just walked in to find footwear here

Trainers fit to run a race

I should have bought some proper socks

I should have seen what else I could see

If I had known for just one second

My back would no longer bother me

I'll go on now go walk out the door

Just turn around now

I can't afford to spend anymore

The shoes are great and it pains me to say goodbye

Don't think I'll tumble

Sure I wont twist my ankle and cry

Oh no, not I

I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to walk

I know I'll please my wife

Who else would I stroll with

The woman with whom I live

And I'll survive

The trainers make me alive

Things not good here at the mo but you have managed to get me to break out with a little grin in amongst all the stresses keeping me miserable! Could you sing it to me please cos that might even get a little chuckle?!!  You have an amazing ability with words Andy.

Omg - I have just had such a bad morning and I'm on the way to a hosp apt in a minute......this cheered me up sooooo much and made me laugh. Thank you so much - you're an inspiration. There's obviously light at the end of the tunnel (hopefully not a train coming) . Well done - so funny :)

When daily woes disturb our day

Along you come to have your say

With tales of shoes and Sports Direct

To make us smile and reconnect

With joy and sheer absurdity

And bring us back to sanity.     

    :D    xx

Niiiice! :)

There once was a lady called Cat

The Headway webpage was where she was at

She was trying to knock bandy, a poor chap named Andy

Not like this, but just like that!

Two pairs of shoes? That sounds rather nice

Sorry for the delay, I've just made spicy chicken fried rice

Another true story, BTW

What's in the sauce ?  I'm famished now after all that planting.    x

BaronC profile image
BaronC in reply to cat3

Dash of soy sauce, splash of olive oil, a spoonful of honey, a hint of chili and a clove of garlic...

cat3 in reply to BaronC

That simple ? I've been using supermarket sauces and they're not good. I'll try this next time. x

BaronC profile image
BaronC in reply to cat3

Seriously, it's lovely. Use the olive oil and soy as the base, plenty of honey. Simmer gently and add whatever spices you fancy really. Add milk if required to make it go further, a pinch of cornflour to thicken if you fancy. Job done.

OK thanks Andy ; that's dinner sorted for tonight !

Looking at the ingredients on jars of sauce, there's a whole myriad of different herbs & spices. But it's the simple recipes which the experts use, and I suspect they're the best. x

BaronC in reply to cat3

Report back when you've had a little taste...

As I said about something else earlier in this thread, it's a question of royalties :)
