I believe in democracy and feel it only right that you, the internet masses, decide the colour of my next pair of shoes.

It is a wild and crazy topic I know, but sometimes you just need someone to make a decision for you.

toupe.

I dont even know what colour toupe is or if you spell it toupe or tope. but you pronounce it a bit like rope, but with a t not an r. I know that much.

If anyone would like to tell me exactly what colour toupe is then that would be great. although I guess you couldnt tell me exactly cos the only thing EXACTLY the same a toupe IS toupe, or tope if you prefer.

Maybe toupe (or tope) isnt even a very suitable colour for shoes.

I just don't know.

Its late and I need some sleep.

so much for your thingymajig that stops double posting cal. bah. im going to leave the second one there. as a warning. like those skulls on sticks that you see in the outback. if you happen to be in the outback. which I'm almost sure that you arnt, but it is a handy metaphor to illustrate my point. a point which I think I may have forgotten somewhere along the way.

I am caught between green and taupe.

Being a Celtic fan, green is always a colour I admire.

But taupe !!! I'm blown away by it. Have a look at This

What do I do !!!!????

"But taupe !!! I'm blown away by it"

it does have that effect on people. And I see you have managed to spell it far more effectivly that me.

And if you get taupe coloured shoes then you can tell everyone, and spread the word about taupe.
