Mind you, if they get any younger allnighters will be out of the questions. Instead, it'll have to be alldayers, with a break in the middle for some milk and a nap. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MrC Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 They've been selling those Bags in the 'ARK' stores for a few years now. The current trend for 'GOLA' bags among school kids has sent them out looking for a similar bag with a different logo I think. There's quite a few appeared round our way (school is 150 yards down the road) and our 15 year old borrowed the one he bought me for christmas 5 years ago (which i've never used) for a while last year, but he has gone out and bought himself a 'PENGUIN' one now.

Guest Droylsdonian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I must alert Phil Buck , 'Bukta' could be the next big thing. Just as well he became a social worker in Salford. Seriously though, there were two young lasses @ the Wheel last week with tidy 'adidas' retro bags; and superb dancers they were, I'd guess they'll be in the fillum.

Amsterdam Russ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 thats a bit deep...Whats the connection? No, it's really rather shallow... It was merely a flippant aside to the earlier comment about "I like Lambretta jeans, but don't own a Lambretta". I was parodying that by saying that whilst I've worn a product branded with what many would call a Jewish name, I've never been drawn to the Jewish religion. See, I told you it wasn't deep!

They might have thought what's that old sh*t doing here. that reminds me of the rare groove scene, now that was mainly a fashion scene. I remember asking two guys I knew wearing paddington flares, ecky thump caps, cropped fur coats and lots of lucky bag rings, if they knew any rare groove tunes. They managed to name the Jackson sisters but beyond that they were stumped. Edited February 6, 2013 by geeselad Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
