I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! No worries, Mark the Shark! You were just ahead of me and it is not a problem!

Fish - thank you for your lovely compliment. The warmth just radiates from this website, doesn't it? Like a toasty pair of socks!

Welcome to this thread, conty! Holy socks! That's what Robin says to Batman, too... as a matter of fact, I have darned a pair of my W&G socks when the heels of them were holy - so I canonised them with the appropriate thread!!!!

Mark the Shark, Fish and terminator987 - socks do have plenty of sole. Musical socks could be sole singers...

Fish - do not despair! I grew up watching and listening to Sir James Galway, thinking I'd never meet him in a million years but the opportunity came and I bit God's/Fate's hand off...

And, snap! I have the ones where he says "I'm so stylish!" Eat your hearts out, Trinny and Susanna! is the cream of the flock!

I am looking at a red bird - a cardinal outside my window right now. I know that is off topic, but he is magnificent on the tree and against the white snow, even though the sun is setting!

You've got good old stylish socks, too Josephine? I will definitely think of you when I wear mine. What other W&G socks have you got?

Josephine - I almost forgot. You said you didn't care for the author of the Golden compass. Would you tell us why? And do you know why his movie got boycotted in some places?

Fish, I love birds, too. I loved your description of the cardinal bird outside your window against the white snow. A lovely mental picture it is, too. I enjoy watching birds feeding from the seed dispenser hung on my shed.

My W&G socks consist of the dynamic duo together, on his own, with a teapot, W&G faces with bones and cheese wedges, a pair of socks with on them, W&G on the screen of an old fashioned telly, saying "get off my socks!" ... it goes on.

My answer to your question re Philip Pullman is on the thread entitled "Should NP Make Another Film" which, I hope, will answer your questions.

WOW - you have Gromit with a teapot? Cool! I don't have that one. I've got saying get off my socks, but not the W&G faces or the socks. I'll go over to the NP thread now an read about Philip Pullman

Hi Sock Club members!

Had to catch up with almost two days worth of chat about socks! This is a lively bunch on this thread. I love it!

Hey, I noticed that some of you are online right now. Well, almost. Usually I'm about 12 hours behind. That's because, conty, I live in the only state of the US that is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. If you know your geography, you've probably guessed that already. I bet Josephine and Fish know.

I'm so jealous...I wish I had some W&G socks! I wouldn't get to wear them much. But then again I guess I wouldn't need to patch up them darn holy sole-y socks if I didn't wear them! When I lived in San Francisco for a couple of years I had a pair of socks with toes. Those were fun.

ummm hi?

:gromit4:

lol nice jokes...

hehehe nice jokes...

This thread is getting quite long, eh!

ehhhhh mark the shark please forgive me pleeeeaaase

CAN ANY1 TELL ME HOW TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT I WANT TO DELETE IT!!!!!!

Of course I will! Please don't leave!

ALOHA, SQUIGLY! YOU ARE IN HAWAII! (cue ukulele)

ANY SIGN OF ELVIS???!!!!

Socks and a grass skirt - not a good look but they do go well with those colourful, floral shirts.

Socks with toes!!!!! My sister got a pair of those for Christmas many moons ago and then she passed them down to me - washed, of course! They are sooooo stylish...especially when each toe has a different colour.

I have asked for Beeky to push for Trouble At 'Mill socks...no reply as yet. But I'll keep pushing for them!

Sock it to me, y'all!

I LEFT MY SOOOOOOOCKS

IN SAN FRAAAAAN - CISCO!

plinky plinky plonk - plinky plinky plonk!

Eat your heart out, Tony Bennett!

That's a good one, Josephine. I was thinking about what tunes we all know that we could put own W&G sock club lyrics into. I came up with a few I know, but wonder if anyone else does. We all live in so many different places. One I thought of is sung to the tune of "We will rock you"....only we'd change it to something "we love socks too"....or something like that.

WEEE WILL WEEE WILL SOCK YOU!!!

(BUM BUM CLAP! BUM BUM CLAP!!!)

WEEE LOVE WEEE LOVE SOCKS, TOO!!!!

(BUM BUM CLAP! BUM BUM CLAP!!!)

...is that the one, fish?!

Yup...that's IT!

That sounds like it, Josephine. You do Queen justice.

Hey Fish...you're on RIGHT NOW! WOW!

By the way...Aloha, everyone. Elvis is in the house, er...he just left. Said something about socks!

Yup...I'm here

Hey Fish, did you come up with any lyrics for the sock song that goes to the Queen tune?

Yes, but they are remarkable similar to Josephine's. I'm working on another verse, though

Well, when they're finished, would love to "hear" them!

OK! Then I will post them here, squigly

I'll check back in a bit. Stomach is rumblin. If only I had some mintballs!

Wish this site had something at the bottom like at www.shaunthesheep.com that told you who was online at the moment. I'm sure we'd see Mark the Shark on there all the time! He's a good one.

Yes, knowing who is online would be fun. I have not been on the forums at shaunthesheep.com - but I signed up for it.

The forums on that site aren't as lively as these - although I didn't have a chance to look around that much.

Elvis left the building!!!???!!!!!! Thankyouverymuchladiesangennlemen!

Didn't he have a hit with Jailhouse Sock?

I went down to Woolworths for the January Sales
No mintballs left there - I began to wail!
Then I strutted to a basket in the middle of the floor
Saw some & socks and I ran out the store.

They rock! Everybody, they rock!
Everybody in Wooworth's was shocked -
Now I'm dancing to the Jailhouse Sock!

(PLEASE NOTE: Shoplifting is not big, not clever and not recommended!)

- besides, how do you lift a shop?? With a crane?

Funny you should mention Jailhouse Sock! I was thinking about that very same song as I was getting a bite to eat! We are on the same wave length here...even though you're two ponds and a big land mass (or is it mess) in between away from here.

Hey, for a minute there, I thought you were telling us a true story about finding and socks at Woolworth's....just realized that they're more sock song lyrics to the Jailhouse "Sock" tune! hahaha How about instead of "They rock. Everybody let's rock." we use "Their socks, everybody they rock."

Oh, by the way, I doubt a crane could lift a shop...its legs are too skinny!!!

Mark the shark? Wherefor art thou, fellow water dweller?

Brilliant, Josephine! Here I am, my favourite fish. Make way for your elder shark!

There you are, sharkie! I was afraid that you or terminator987 had gotten banned! What makes you think you are older than me?

Instead of a sock song, I've got mintballs to the Queen tune running through my mind.

We want we want MINTBALLS
Mintballs clap Mintballs clap
We need Mintballs right now
stomp stomp clap stomp stomp clap

Something like that...

That, Fish, could be my rallying cry at the newsagents when I go for my mintballs fix! I am well and truly CHUFFED TO MILLIONS OF MINTBALLS!!!!!

Lovely job! Thanks for adjusting the lyrics to "Jailhouse Sock" - they sound much, much better!

Fish and Mark the Shark! I was going through my local supermarket and, guess what?!!!?! There were a few tins of...wait for it...SOCK EYE SALMON! (mental picture of a fish with a sock in its eye).

Unfortunately, I'm unable to change my name to Sock Eye Salmon (to go with Fish and Mark the Shark) but the sentiment and sense of affinity are definitely there!

We want we want MINTBALLS!

We want to be chuffed!
We can't get enough!
I'll go off in a huff!
If you don't give me a bag right NOOOOOWWWW!

We want we want MINTBALLS!
MINTBALLS clap MINTBALLS clap ...

No mintballs in the place!
A dirty disgrace!
Give 'em to me now
Or I'll bawl my eyes ouuuuut!

We want we want MINTBALLS!!!
MINTBALLS! clap! MINTBALLS!!!! clap!
...

AWESOME, Josephine!

teehee...

Now, if we can get Mark the Shark and Leopard or even Conty to build some W & G characters and animate them to sing the Mintballs Chant...we'd have a winning entry for the Creations of the Month contest. Of course the characters would have to be wearing socks so as to keep in line with this thread and the W & G Socks Club theme.

What do you think, Mark the shark? Could you help us do something like squigly suggests?

Mark the shark? Josephine? Where are you?

I would have the pleasure! And fish, I was just talking about size. Because you're a fish and I'm a shark. RAR!! Oh and don't worry. I won't get banned! I'll make sure of it! Don't worry about me.

OH! I get it, sharky! And I'm very glad yo uare not banned! You are always very kind and considerate of others. Really, I mean that!

Thank you, Fish. That's really kind of you. There's never been one time when you have been nasty to anyone.

Thanks!

You're most welcome!

IIIIIIIIIII'M HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRE!

Don't despair, folks! I've been busy for the past few days working hard (I always do but, in this case, I needed more time to do it in).

Yesterday, I wore my & socks for good luck. The thought of wearing them cheered me up and spurred me with the task in hand.

So, do not despair, Mark the Shark, Fish et al. You are all lovely people and I do not intend to abandon this forum like those who got bored and swanned off elsewhere!

I thank you!

YAY! Thanks Josephine! I've really missed you!

Squigly - CAPITAL IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in!!!!!!!!!
