Aye, a gutty is a slingshot or a gym shoe.

It was briefly, IIRC correctly, an early 00's term for a female of ill repute aswell.

There was some cheapy shoe shop in Dunfermline called Shoe Fayre. The "S"fell off one the sign one day. For years it sounded like a shop for very gangsta ladies of ill repute.

My favourite shoe/sports shop was one I saw in Limmasol once called The Athlete's Foot.

I did a computer course years ago in Inverness and the class next to us was a bunch of old biddies doing an introduction to the internet thing. They were told to search for local businesses, and the firm opposite was Highland Office Equipment, which led one of the ladies to a hard core Japanese porn site. The cackling was immense.

A hula hoop is not an SI unit.  Get a fucking ruler on there for some scale. 

(No btw, looks massive(

Sorry, I thought the normal Hula Hoop next to it would provide scale. I've eaten it now anyway.

I’ve definitely had bigger hula hoops but I’ve, eh, eaten them now as well. No photos soz bye.

I used to like putting one on each finger then biting them off one by one. Would always end up biting them too hard and gnawing my finger.

What is the SI unit for hula hoops its not double decker buses so I'm guessing penny coins.

We’ve all been there. Some took a sufficient bite, others just crumbled and you were left in agony. Think they done it on purpose.

It's a chain of running shoe and other athletic type stuff shops here in the US.

The letter G from the sign outside Angus Sports in Montrose went missing for a considerable period of time in the early 90's...


Similarly, for a while The County Bar at Clackmannan Cross used to have it’s individual letters screwed into the stonework above the door. The ‘O’ was almost permanently missing.
