    Russell, you would have loved this girl I briefly dated back in '73 when I was fifteen. She spent the whole of that summer in just a bikini top and cut-off denims (think Brigit Fonda in "Jackie Brown" and you're somewhere close).

    But her feet! She never wore shoes, and the soles of her feet were so hard she could (and did) use them to put out cigarettes. I've dated classier women since then, ones with better impulse control, but most weren't nearly as much fun

    Lol - I'm sure she was fun, but I can't think of anything more unattractive!

    I like women who look after their feet (and everything else), and keep them soft and supple - no yellowy hard skin, cracked heels, fungal nail infections (lol, puke) bunions or any shit like that... If a women goes barefoot (or for that matter wears sandals, etc), then she should at least ensure that her feet look pretty - all over!

    Away with you! I was fifteen, and not overly bothered about her feet, not when everything else was just as it should be, and then some. Next you'll be telling me that you find birds who can burp the alphabet to be unattractive

    Better if they could fanny-fart it

    Anyway, the most important things about 1970s burds was how they handled a Cadbury's Flake!

    Yes I remember the type! I grew up in the county, where it was cool to be country. Lots of people went barefoot, including myself at times. My ex wife was always barefoot, she would walk outside in the snow in bare feet if only to the mailbox. But, she had small feet, size 6 in the US, (I’m not sure what size that is in Europe?) and when it was time to dress up, she knew how. And could walk in heels very naturally, not clomping around like a Clydesdale, as so many women today who never learned to walk in heels. But when we dated I was 17, she was 18, and barefoot in jeans was her everyday look. The 70’s were a great time to be young! We were very lucky to have been there.

    Thank you Russell, nice to hear from a kindred spirit! I know nostalgia plays a part, but yeah I loved the seventies, that was when all the good things started happening for me.

    Marco wouldn't get it, he grew up in the decade that gave us shoulder pads and phones the size of a house brick

    Uh-oh, I can hear the sound of Marco's size 13s (UK size) approaching, so I'm gonna get some stick over that shoulder pads dig... Just stand still, he can't see us if we stand still.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
