Cheated by maturity

PredatorsThis week, one of my childhood dreams was finally realised. I bought some Predators. As a kid I never came close to owning a pair, I pined after them but my folks were way too sensible but now, owning my first pair so late in my career i’m left feeling cheated.

I am a victim of relative maturity (compared to a 12 year old anyway!) and it appears that they’re not ACTUALLY magic. Infact they seem pretty ordinary. How could that have happened, I swear they used to be magic.

I sort of miss the naive cheap thrills of being a kid… when building my premier league sticker empire was my full time vocation, I remember dropping them in the middle of a busy-crossing and crying all the way home… and that new Gameboy… man, it ROCKED MY WORLD!

Back to the boots, its not that bad, i’m coping, magic or not magic, Stevie G still wears them which does mean i’ll be roughly as good as him ;) - his height advantage might give him the edge in the air, but I think most people would agree, theres not really much to choose between us.

Just a note for any puma king pansies out there, don’t kid yourself, they never came close!

    Did you get the full-blown posh ones? i.e. the ones that cost £70 or more?

    I think you’re as good as Stevie G. Certainly you’re better looking.

    They were less than 70 squid but still overpriced… the £130 ones didn’t look any different to the £30 ones… hmmm, thats why I went for the £55 ones, that makes no sense. I think I got suckered. Grrr, those bandit advertisers and marketeering swines.

    You bought new shoes? Wow, I’m impressed. The therapy must be working…
