I've always been a size 11 shoe for every brand of trainer or shoe.....part from Adidas which I've been a size 12 for.
Recently bought a pair of new balance, never had them before so to play safe I order a 11.5 but they are too small so I assume they work to the same size as adidas. Went to buy a new pair of adidas today and size 12's were too small for me now even though I've got a pair that fit perfectly?!
35 years old and I've no idea what size shoe i am!
Adidas trainers vary across the styles I find.Quote:

I had to go down a size for the New Balance i bought 2 weeks ago.Quote:

Kids grow your own crystal sets.
We've had loads of these over the years and I've never managed to get any crystals any bigger than the original salts that you use for the solution :greengrin
Also , you sit down with the bairn and set it all out over the kitchen table. Get the protective glasses on and dissolve some of the salts provided.
Pour some in different Petrie dishes then tell the poor bairn to leave it for 2 days.
Pain in the erse

My daughter is just coming up for 4 weeks and there is no way someone that small can possibly be that hungry!
Congratulations. It will get worse. Remember she's eating little and often. Both mine were on the Hibs.net bus 21/05/16. Unfortunately they were also both on the pitch.... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]Quote:

The increasing difficulty in travelling direct between Easter Road and Leith Walk. Brunswick Road is closed to through traffic, Iona Street likewise and as of this morning Albert Street is the same. The top of ER is obviously busy because of the Leith Street diversions which leaves a lot of traffic trying to use Montgomery Street.
All seems a bit of a disorganised shambles to me.
Leith is becoming cut off. I avoid it like the plague these days.Quote:

They're currently relaying the road around Albert St which its been needing. However it will soon be dug up again for the tram line.Quote:

I'll even lock the door behind me in the morning when I leave even if the wife is leaving 5 minutes behind me.
Same here, I can't believe the number of folk who leave their property and family vulnerable by leaving doors unlocked.....madness.Quote:

It doesn't always work!
I remember a fairly boozy Saturday night out that ended up in a mate's flat on Easter Road. About 4:00am I decided that I'd had enough and went home to my place on Albert Street. About an hour later I woke up to find 4 of my pals sitting around me on my bed drinking beer from my fridge - I kept a spare key to my flat at my pals' place on Easter Road (in case I ever lost my own) and they'd decided to use it to prolong the party. To this day I still chuckle thinking about it.
Anyway, sorry to hear what happened at your place Matty - it must be a horrible feeling.
I've had this discussion with the wife, My concern about locking the door is fire safety.Quote:

Watching a box set and there always seems to be an episode tucked in somewhere that goes back to a time before the plot started. Almost every box set I've watched lately has one of these episodes, they're so dull and don't really add anything to the story.
When you accidentally skip an episode and wonder wtf is going on! Also binge watching and having the "previously on......" speil before each episodeQuote:

I have to confess to quite liking that kind of episode in something I've been watching for a while. In my experience, it usually helps me understand the characters more.Quote:

Courier companies which use self-employed drivers.
Hospitals that tell stroke victims to get a taxi home as there are no ambulances. Beggars belief.
Bus drivers that go the wrong way and forget that they are driving a double decker when approaching a low bridge. :rolleyes:
C@cks that complain about couriers.
Maybe a bit unnecessary?Quote:

It is a good idea for small independent companies to bring in extra help when they can afford it but it's being abused by some massive companies.
Drum Brae Hill is an absolute joke this morning. Im assuming that's because of Saughton Road North being closed.Quote:

Folk that make a big deal out of tiny wee issues.

People who let their kids run free in the supermarket.
People in general, really.

Locks that have been fitted upside-down meaning you have to turn them the "wrong" way.
Sky sports bumming Celtic after beating a poor Anderlecht side last night, and how Rogers is a top British coach and will get a job no bother in the EPL.... :rolleyes:
Anderlecht were pish.Quote:

Inappropriate toothpaste tube squeezing!! I am the only one on my house who knows that you squeeze from the bottom. My wife and kids persist on squeezing at the middle. Drives me bonkers. ****ing savages!
When you go for a slash and the urine jet decides to come out at an improbable angle (normally when you've been invited to somebody else's house) - cue wads of sodden bog roll and pishy hands.

I dont go much excpet with the wee man to the early showing (mini mornings I think its called)......was at the Ocean T vue a few weeks back and we were in screen 8 IIRC and it was brilliant. Every seat was leather, reclined and had a wee swivvel table tab you pulled over once seated. It was a 10 am showing on a sunday so to sit back, recline and plce my coffee and food on a table in front was comfy AF and made up for the fact I had to endure the emoji movie. The hotdogs at vue are also v good.Quote:
