Original Post Nope, they're blue, and I got them in the sale at Clarks. Sensible, comfortable and blue.

Are they suede?

I feel a song coming on. They're something boring called nubuck. But 'Don't you step on my nubuck shoes' sounds wrong.

I like nubuck. In fact, I'm wearing nubuck boots, right now

Wrong? No, I'm sure you wear them in style, Guero. I don't wear shoes in style. Well, actually, I don't do anything much in style, but that's another story.

With all this talk of John-O with shoes but maybe one sock – and trousers (hopefully ~ are you related to Brian Rix ??!) this is more what I’d expect:

The setting York sun slants obliquely down upon a lone figure waiting somewhere by the Wentworth bridge. His wide brimmed hat is down covering his bowed face but we see his long straight hair cascading down over a poncho. (A real one – not a Sears one)

He slowly looks up as he hears screams from a nearby James bedroom.

Through the window we see an impossibly frizzy-haired (and partly dressed girl) exclaiming “I can’t go to the gala like this . . .”

John-O fixes his steely gaze upon the girl. His well chewed liquorish cheroot moves from one side of his mouth to the other and he smiles slightly.

Flicking back his poncho with a flourish we see a brightly coloured waistcoat holstering a set of Gold GHD’s.

As John-O advances the sunlight glints off the GHD’s and into the girl’s bedroom. The girl sees him and swoons “I’m saved”

Can I please, please, please be the girl? I don't know if I'm good at swooning (never tried), but I'm sure I can learn.

Er... Whats a GHD? I'm quite good at swooning actually, Blue. Maybe I could teach you.

I believe them to be some sort of hair straightening equipment, John. Like an iron. Only without the need for an ironing board.

Yes, they are a brand of hair straightening irons. Ceramic plates, don't ya know, so considered to be the finest. As one who owns a rather large wavy length of hair, I can whole-heartedly agree - they are the best. GHD stands for Good Hair Day. I have the jumbo ones with one and half inch plates, and it takes about 50 minutes to straighten my hair. Just so you know what you're in for, John...

As to casting ~ I'm a bit 'snowed under' at the moment.

I'm someone who believe that UK TV advertising has to be truthful; honest and legal and my bedroom's full of Lynx fallen angels. Normally I wouldn't mind but I've had Gina Lollobrigida hanging by her fingernails from my windowstill tap, tap, tapping to get in. . . .
