shoes to aspire to

[devi]

One of today's work experience kids is helping out in a shoe shop. He hadn't showed up yet when I arrived, so I wandered around idly examining shoes to pass the time. Every model of shoe had its own name. Some of these were what you'd expect as names for shoes, like 'Beth' and 'Napoli'. But I also found shoes called 'Creepy', 'Qualm' and 'Needy'.

('Qualm' were some little white shoes for kids with pink flowers on them.)

Why?!

Qualm marched against invading Iraq and has been thoroughly disillusioned. Voted for George Galloway at the Euros and lost all self-Respect. Losing itself in Euro2004 mania now England have won a couple of matches, will wake up cut, bruised and hungover the morning after England get knocked out, determined to emmigrate to the winner's country.

Will return after a soul destroying three weeks due to an inability to learn the local lingo.

Qualm marched against invading Iraq

Oh, the mental image... down the streets of London marched the students, the crusties, the poi-spinners, the people who'd called in sick, the Archaeologists Against the War... and a pair of very small, white shoes.
