the right shoes to get you through the night

hello there


it's not an exclusive thing, of course, for my requirements are to have such at times more frequently. oh, this is about shoes, look you see. whereas i go and get them as and when i need some (such as, for instance, my incumbent pair are busted, or the tread has gone), it is so that i quite like to get a special pair as and when Chris de Burgh (no, the singer one) releases a new "concept album".

there is every chance that he might wish to do so, but not, it is not so that he (de Burgh) can go right ahead and release a non-conventional album with the immediate frequency with which i may require new things for my feet. but, when he does go to such an extent, i like to make sure it is marked, no make that acknowledged, by me getting some new shoes (or similar). 

with the coming, advent, release (or "dropping") of an album all about Robin Hood, then, it was time for me to visit Mr Shoe Seller (Sports Direct) and get some feet related items. 


and there they are, above, in situ (if that means on my feet), in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode. no, so far as i am aware, he (Chris de Burgh) has not done a concept album based on the (many) wonders of the Commodore 64, but i have every confidence it is on his to do list. probably a bit too busy to do, but still, a lovely thought. 

other Chris de Burgh (and i think which one is established by now) concept albums, and the shoes what i marked the occasion (or instance) with? well, in terms of albums, too many to list. but ones that i can think of are probably Crusade, and i suspect Spanish Train was kind of a concept album, if a very high concept one. 

no, there are to be no pictures of what special shoes i (might have) had to mark those (and probably other) releases. such shall remain private, mainly - and primarily - because i suspect there exists no photographic evidence of such. at least not conclusive. but, if one is interested, one can certainly see the ones i have for this release, being the Robin Hood one. 


for the interested, yes, an "action" shot of my new shoes, being on my feet, as they are. and yes, of course, that is a pair of them rather fine David Bowie socks what i have on. well, what else would i wear for such a moment? 

seeing as the provenance of my splendid new shoes has (have?) been established, what remains is the question of how, exactly (or precisely) i select special new shoes so as to honour the imminent arrival of a concept album off of Chris de Burgh. this, my dear reader, is done quite conventionally. usually, as in this is what happened, when i attend the stores hosted by that nice Mike Ashley, they have just one pair what will actually fit my massive clown feet. and so the choice is made. 

how much am i looking forward to the Chris de Burgh concept album (and i assume it is a concept album, that could just be a random name for an unrelated set of songs) about Robin Hood coming out? not at all, to be honest. i don't believe i have the slightest interest. as far as i am aware i only have the one Chris de Burgh tape (CD), a 'greatest hits' thing i picked up at a charity shop or similar. 


and in conclusion, then, there you go, the shoes "in the box" what they came in. from what i have been made aware of, something called "unboxing" is quite popular on the internet, so i have every confidence this will be of some interest. 

now that i think on, maybe i have (or had) a tape of Crusader somewhere. and, with it in mind, i wouldn't mind hearing Spanish Train again. still, getting special shoes to commemorate the release of a concept album off of Chris de Burgh is, to me, a lovely thing to do. 



be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
