Happy Birthday Gareth

[Flyfisher]

Was I the only one who detected more than a passing resemblance to a young Fred Dibnah in the picture of Gareth in the life jacket? (Sans flat cap, or course).

I should just note that a Google images search for "young fred dibnah" throws up a surprisingly wide selection of rather scantily clad young ladies (and Ulrika Johnsson). On further investigation, it's seems that said images were mostly "posted by: fred dibnah". So it seems that either dear old Fred has retained an internet connection in the afterlife or there's an imposter about. Anyway, must dash, I have to give the hard drive a good clean - Mrs FF will never believe all those images came from an innocent bit of research on Fred Dibnah. Let's face it - who would?

It has come to my attention that Penners was spared the indignity of sharing his birthday, not all that long ago, with a lot of PPUKing reprobates.
Until now.

Ha-harrrrr me hearties!

Close, Gareth, but no coconut. :wink:

Phew! Thank goodness you warned me, otherwise I might have done that Google search. :shock:

Mind you, a Google search on "Happy birthday Gareth" would yield much the same, wouldn't it?

I think your Google is broken, or maybe you have been typing more than "Happy Birthday Gareth" in the search box! I just get an innocent cake.

 

[Penners]

You clearly haven't scrolled down from the top of page 2 of this thread, Milady.

Milady - you need to set Google's "SafeSearch" option to "Off" if you want those types of pictures.

EDIT: Allegedly!

Too late - your dirty little secret is out!

I still get cakes! I think it's a government conspiracy, my google has been sanitised.

 

[Penners]

Or your dietary proclivities have been noted by Google's tracking computers. :wink:

Wouldn't say no to a slice of cake, but I'm not one to be looking up how to make them or how to order them. If Google truly is tracking me then I should see shoes, nothing but shoes, beautiful shoes, red soled beautiful shoes :lol:

 

[Penners]

Careful, Milady! My old ma-in-law had a saying about women's footwear:

"Red shoes means no drawers!"

:shock:

Aren't you somewhere exotic? It's entirely possible that your search results are 'filtered' without your knowledge.

Nope - she's right. it's just cakes.

Indeed, I had to scroll to the third page of pics before the first bikini-clad woman appeared! :shock:

The shoes I covet just have red soles, although last season he did some ruby red suede ones with sparkly heels ( if there was a drooly smiley I would use it).

Your mum in law was totally right, no money left for anything as dull as knickers after buying investment grade shoes like that.

 

[Moo]

Just out of interest (as one who gets her shoes from TKMaxx) - how much do shoes like that cost?

 

[Penners]

I'll make a guess:

Shiny uppers: £20
Red soles: £200
"Paris" imprint: £500

:roll:

 

[JoceAndChris]

I can see how if you lived in Singapore you'd definitely need a shoe like that. But what Lady A needs is a good long spell amidst Lincolnshire mud and then she'd realise how much more covetable is the thing I yearn for - the source of the shoe.

And I think I'm right in saying that little poppet would be a lot less than the shoes.

Unfortunately the patent ones are sold out, but you are in luck and these are on sale and you could get them for Mrs P for only 1,361.50 ( reduced from 1,945 ), ones without sparkles are cheaper though. Being a fairly handy sort of chap I'm sure you could glue on some Swarovskis yourself and she would never know the difference.

He is so beautiful, too cute to make into shoes. Luckily I have my sensible rubber wellies for wet muddy days, thank goodness they made those snake skin effect ones so I could feel chic as well as being mud proof :lol:
