Great Socks! Good Times!
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Dear Jildau,
From today onwards our household will no longer be treated to your charming collection of bright socks** after your move back to The Netherlands. But the thing we’ll miss the most, even more than your bright sock collection, is your unwavering love of wearing them in odd pairs each and every day for no [...]
Retail sales rise by 3.5%, but who benefits?
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Despite the forecasts, retail sales rose by 3.5% in May, which is the strongest monthly growth since January 1986. Now, imagine if every single one of those retail sales also gave a gift for free to someone that really, really needed it?
Well, we have friends who’s mission is to actually make that happen, and they’ve [...]
Country mourns our absence from Euro 2008
Saturday, June 7th, 2008You’d be forgiven for not noting the start of the start of Europe’s most extravagant national sock competition, Euro 2008, which started this weekend. Should you be totally in dark, let me explain.
Nations from around Europe choose 22 of their most talented men to show off their countries’ most magnificent socks. The fans roar and [...]
Cheer up Garth Crooks!
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008It’s been ages since I sat down to watch Football Focus on a Saturday afternoon but at the weekend I did it! I got our TV out, made myself a nice warm brew and sat down ready for a rare dose of sporting speculation.
And I enjoyed my time with the guys on Football Focus, on [...]
Noel Fielding knows
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Comedian Noel Fielding (of The Mighty Boosh fame) knows what it’s all about. In an interview in one of this weekend’s papers he said:
“I visited a friend in Leicester recently. It was 4am, and we all ran around in a circle, six of us. It’s the most fun I’ve had since I was seven. And [...]
Email. Email. Email. Email. Another email. Christmas!
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008It’s a bit mind boggling how many emails we have sent and received in the process of setting up Socks for Happy People, but it certainly makes the physical parcels we receive very exciting!
This is a good example of that Christmas feeling as Tom holds aloft a sample of the recycled cotton waste cardboard that [...]
Marvellous memories made making magic missions
Friday, May 16th, 2008For being ‘creative’s’ we don’t half love the paper work….or should I say white board, flip chart, skype and beer mat work!
Creating the Visions and Missions that are at the heart of Socks for Happy People has been a very real process that is now starting to bear fruit.
We’ve been fortunate enough to have [...]
When are the socks coming?*
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I get asked this on a daily basis, which is great as it’s clear that a lot of people are very excited. But while we implore people to be patient I’d just like to note that we are still making happy ripples even before the socks arrive.
Like last night for example while myself and [...]
“Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?”
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Socks for Happy People F.C. had its first run out at a footie tournament in Surrey recently.
The rain poured, the wind blew, the referee needed glasses and all was well. We played like gentlemen, competed like lions and eventually bowed out in the first round.
But more important than winning games, in our humble opinion, was [...]
