Socks

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008To begin with I thought I was just imagining it. I thought I might be spending too many hours thinking about Socks for Happy People, and socks in general. But I kept seeing it. I wondered whether it was a figment of my imagination, a mirage, or a unceasing reminder for the work that is [...]
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 [...]
Hillary Clinton and her Socks
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008It seems Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations look unlikely to be realised this time.
This got me thinking about the last time the Clinton’s were in the White House, when Socks (the presidential cat!) enjoyed feline celebrity status. Meeow indeed!

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 [...]

Sunday, June 1st, 2008These Mongolian Bactrian Camels (with their two humps) happily endure temperatures as low as -80°C, because of their warm hair and their hairiness.
‘Wherever is this blog entry going?’ you’re probably thinking.
Well, I wanted to mention these hairy friends as we’ve just received some Camel Hair sock samples from Mongolia and we’re very excited. The socks [...]
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 [...]
“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 [...]
