Re: Shoey !!!!
Well Keith you are more up to date about trends here than I am, as I have not only never heard of it; I haven't seen anything on TV, mind you I don't follow the what I call none entertainment. Though I did get a laugh when Bidden did his soft shoe shuffle up the steps of his plane.

Re: Shoey !!!!
Nothing new in that bit.
Me and two of my mates were thrown out of the Playhouse in Durban for doing just that.
Then at my wife's wedding my best man and I drank champagne from her new satin shoes, she was not amused.
He was with me in the Playhouse.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
