Moderator! This thread is insensitive and elitist.

Have you thought how this affects paraplegics?

No, thoughtless aren't you?

See this complaint for what it is.

DP is nothing more than an unashamed lackey of the Industrial Sock complex.

Games up DP, your sock empire will soon collapse.

Down with Socks.


I feel much better having said that.

Much Better !!!

Astonishing what we can learn from science, on reflection we are all just lost socks in the Laudromat of Oblivion.

I too for long have suspected that there is a parallel universe where not only socks, but guitar plectrums biros and even pencil sharpeners exist and can trasnfer more or less at random back to our universe.

In that same parallel universe its still Switzerland 0 Ukraine 0 and the Swiss have yet to muster an attack.

Could the parallel socks theory account for Einstiens breakthrough, are Einstiens socks to be found in a parallel universe, will the Swiss ever score a penalty?

Good questions Alf.

Socks, biros, plectrums - and especially tea-spoons all exhibit this property.

I believe Einstein didn't wear socks because he found it too distressing. They messed up his theory of the universe. He famously stated that "God does not wear socks!" (nor write with a biro, presumably).

However, the current thinking among leading quantum physicists (Threaded included) suggests the existance of a 'sock heaven' where socks dissapear to for a time, before returning to our every-day dimension.

As for marktet leaders in socks, gotta be these guys http://www.feelmax.com/uk/index.htm

Not only that, but socks can move between universes. One sock will often dissapear into the void, leaving its partner behind. Also, single socks from other universes will suddenly turn up in your drawer.

Do they share this ability with Biros? I have often noticed all my Bics dissapear and then another day I will find a drawer full when I know I never put them there.

[bogeyman]

At one and the same time socks can be in your shoes and on your feet.
2 places at once, astonishing.

Heisenberg wasn't sure whether he was wearing socks on any given day until he took his shoes off - so he was simultaineously socked and sockless!

Well Ill be darned !

On the topic of socks,given that most of the population have been duped into wearing them , its odd that there is no significant brand leader in terms of socks, for example if you think of suits you might think Armani or Boss...but when I mention socks ...well ???

[Dundeegeorge]

And they're clever too

(Ivor Cutler, no, it's not the actual poem, perhaps Alf would care to post it)

[bogeyman]

My understanding is that Albert Einstein did not wear socks either.

How would you account for the crusty socks if you dont wear them or you dont have sweaty feet?

By Jingo LG,methinks youve got me on that one.

This is where my theory unceremoniously falls to the ground.

Thud.

I've borrowed your time and I'm sorry I posted.

But the thought just occurred that we're nobody's children at all

After all

Please trip them gently, they don't like to fall

There's no room for anger, we're all very small

Live to your rebirth and do what you will

Forget all I've said, please bear me no ill

Oh By Jingo ...

[AlfredJPruffock]

I think my feet get far too sweaty without them. Very uncomfortable and unpleasant unless I'm wearing sandals.

That was my initial reaction too Dave , but then again we dont wear socks on our armpits, well at least I dont tend to.

A quick application of anti deodrant, or even the mroe radical solution of washing them now again might cater for the sweat scenario, whoops I almost said sweaty socks ...

As for the comfort factor,Im sure your feet would soon harden up, as for sandals , I thought all IT contractors wear Sandals and Kafthans as part of our professional dress code ?

I know I do.
