New Year new Norpig

It's going to be tough. Any visit to amazon will usually find me straying onto the slipper pages, and it's always a mental battle to stay my hand. But I'm strong now.
I did it with nighties, I can do it again.

I hate ask but can you recommend any cool slippers, Bonce? I’m getting to that age. They’ll need to be black or dark gray though - in my head I still think I’m cool, indie and in my 20s.

These are pretty cool, Fin. There are some decent choices if you take the time to look.

 If these don't suit, try 'House Of Slippers'.
Yes, there is such a place.

I’m curious to know the history behind the popular market slipper why it always had the embroidered lion on one slipper?

Norpig, had a weigh in this morning and lost 5.2 lbs which is a good start.

I know Peter Kay used to say that he could shit a pound but I don’t think he could shit 5 of them!

Not sure about the lion, KP. I've never bought slippers from a market, whatever that is. Mine are all hand made, by the Duke of Norfolk, who needs the money re-thatch his scrotum. Give me the word and I'll get you a discount.
