Got these beasts from the wife.

Trainers, new laptop, pasta maker and socks. Well in.

Im hoping for a pair of zx off the wife for xmas then im done with adidas trainers for a while. Going to go with Asics and Saucony for a bit of variety.

I hope you never find them.

Aye my bird got me a pair for my birthday a couple of years back. What turned up were nothing like what she asked for and they refused to take them back. IIRC the email confirmation doesnt specify the design so unless they have changed the way they invoice make sure you take a screen shot of the finished article!

Dont seem to see that many people wearing Dragons. I got these for about £25 out the Adidas store at tillicoultry for matchday attire a few years back.

Anyone getting a prosthetic fitted over there is missing a trick...

Maybe we should extend air strikes to cover the US? Theres something badly wrong when people attack a centre for people with disabilites. Some frightening stats on the number of shootings in the past year. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/02/san-bernardino-california-shooting

Who would have thought a thread about trainers could take such a sinister turn?

It's all about the vaping now anyway.

Decent.

Make or break feature when buying a watch IMO.

Orient makos are some of the best budget diving watches around. Pretty sure Orient make all their own movements unlike the fashion brands who just get more expensive branding stuck on a generic fossil. The blue mako looks class, don't get much better for around £100.

My cars windscreen wipers decided to stop working on the M8. Pulled off at the next exit and realised my AA membership expired last month. No matter, just wait till it stops raining and get it to a garage. Thanks to this shitty weather my car has been in Renfrew since last Thursday and will probably still be there until next March.

What the f**k is that rangers monstrosity?

I didnt used to be a fan of G Shocks until I saw this. A thing of absolute beauty. Cant justify dropping £600 on it though but it got me looking at the cheaper atomics and really want one now.

They look like slippers out the back of the Daily Express.

Dont think they are bad fashion watches but not sure on durability. I would go with a dedicated watch brand or a brand using reputable parts.

Hadn't worn a watch in years until I bought one a few months ago. Nice victorinox automatic with the same movement as tag heur use in some models.

Saw the mobile shop on sauchiehall street yesterday. When the f**k did it become acceptable to sell poppy hoodies?

Gauld is at the right place for him, regardless if Sporting have the best youth coaching or not. There will be an emphasis on technical ability rather than "toughening him up" which you know is pretty much the end game for most youth developers in the UK. I would expect him to feature for the first team sporadically this season and then either be promoted or possibly go out on loan to a senior team next year. No reason to think he wont have a successful career - hes already shown he can comfortably play at Scottish Premiership level and, like others have said, isnt a bam which seems to be the downfall of many young Scottish players.

To be honest it's the taking part that counted.

Huaraches look like they were made for people that had polio as a child.

AF1s dont have that chunky a sole, not as thick as air max. Better to get something with a bit of cushioning rather than some offerings from adidas which seem to be soled with a rizla. I accept the colourway may not be to everyone's taste and will take this forum's kind words on board when considering my purchase.

I have no shame about my choices in bargain basement trainers.
