I learnt a long time ago not too care what people think, because what? you might have to deal with that sort confrontation 20 minutes a week and anyone I care about doesnt bring it up but they dont come to my house anyway and for that I can keep what I love and know coming home from work I can look foward to seeing my shoes, If someday someone can care about me for who I am, good but if not I still have my shoes

Perhaps the OP should visit this site http://www.northampton.gov.uk/museums

Just down the road from where I used to live.

Cobblers! that's what the towns famous for.

I object most strongly to this representation of football fans. I sit upright when watching, I don't have a fat arse and I don't drink beer. I do, however, take my relavite, and I would strongly urge you to take yours.

Even those fat-arsed football fans who do lie around drinking beer have at least as sensible a hobby as yours.

OK, this is the second time you've used the expression. It's new to me. Are you suggesting some festive incest?

But the only people to enter the room of the railway model collector person would other railway model collector people as you pointed out or mammy - mammy loves and accepts him for what he is, and the other railway model collectors... well, I'm sure if manTime had other shoe collector people over, they'd be OK with it... the point is: We'll never really know whether or not collecting model railway stuff is acceptable. Shoe collectors will have people over and can be judged like society intended.

Well say you meet some guy/girl you like and end up going back to their place and find a model railway collection, you will be much more understanding of it I predict than if you find a collection of kids shoes.

Sympathetic. I'd be sympathetic. They'd still die a virgin. We'll never know, or as my uncle'd say: If my grandmother had balls, she'd be my grandfather.
If it were shoes? Hmmm... dunno... I'm having difficulty imagining a scenario where I'd find myself in the bedroom of such a person. Help me: Would I be holding a warrant?

Okay. Now, I understand. No need to get all rolleyesy with me. rolleyes are for commies and kids' shoes collectors.

But I collect rolleyes. I don't keep them in glass cases or anything I just keep them around the house on the mantel, some in the kitchen, a LOT in my room, even a couple of pairs in the toilet.

I'm not some wierdo. I just like the way they feel to touch, how they smell etc. So I collect them.

Here's another pair: :rolleyes:

You disgust me.

this thread is FUKED UP!!.,
sorry OP but when you say you collect childrens shoes its enivitable people are going to think "PEADO!", especially as you mention living in vietnam and thailand, peado capitals of the world.,
I hope this is a pis* take because it doesnt feel nice picturing some bloke sitting in their room fantasizing about kids "shoes".,


Anyway, i collect playing cards., I get decks of them from all over the world and there cool., my favourate ones are those iraqi ones with the top 52 most wanted on them.,:D

If anyone here collects odd socks, can I have mine back please?

in fairness I find ANY form of collecting strange. I mean I understand if people are investing in something they think will be worth something later. But the crap people collect, it could be toddlers shoes to premier league stickers.

WHAT IS THE FREAKING POINT??? I personally think its a form of OCD that people feel the need to collect crap, and feel unfulfilled unless their collection is complete. I also find it weird that one collector of crap thinks someone else collecting a different type of crap is weird. YOU'RE ALL WEIRD!!!

dlofnep

Could be worse.. He could be collecting the skulls of cows from old slaughterhouses..

..not that I ever done that.

Knew I'd seen this before. I said it at the time and I'll say it again; troll/dupe account.
Funny how a mod will let this slide, even promote it but go doolally at it the rest of the year, even at people who feed them....festive season, eh?

Dudess

But manTime is one of those trolls it would be a shame to ban. He's kinda like a sideshow freak.

Oh shut up.
Trolls are tolerated for a while as long as they're amusing.

I thought it had more merited humour buried inside the other thread but w/e.

What's everyone's opinion on the whole tax on children's shoes debate?

If the OP were to sell his collection, would he have to charge tax?

It all depends. If he's added value in the form of caressing the shoes then yes, he would be liable to VAT.......







This is a strange thread

At leaast he wasn't responsible for collecting these shoes.

Do you collect them in pairs or singles? I have a few old pairs nike airmax or classics. Pm me if you want them.

Make sure u get a fair price for them.
