I've seen these before, but didn't know where to get them. I just discovered the pattern on Etsy.

It's only the pattern, so you'll need someone who can crochet (my wife's agreed to make me a pair :) ). On the plus side, though, this link (http://goo.gl/PN4rvf) will get you a fiver to spend at Etsy, and the pattern only costs £4.32.
Brilliant, sadly I do not know anyone who could do this for me :(
Why does it always have to be some German tank that gets made into slippers?
Why not a pair of Centurion slippers?

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!. You will starts FSN off again. Just when we have calmed him down ;D
You never know, if you asked nicely enough, the person who did the Tiger pattern might do a Centurion pattern.

YOUR BOTH MAD !!!!!. I am going to hold you both responsible if we get another zillion posts about Centurions tanks , wether thats in model, slipper or picture form.
Actually thats a stupid statement - The fact your on this Forum proves you cannot be responsible for anything. :D
Their WHAT, for God's sake?
Perhaps Steeleye is a pseudonym for FSN.
Former Steeleye Name possibly.
Are the slippers in 10mm ? :)

I was going to say that it'd make no sense to pester us here about Centurion slippers, then I remembered that we're talking about FSN ;)
No I'm going to start demanding Zigarut style slippers, so that our angry feline feels happy.

Now, they're just the thing to go with my Adolf Hitler backpack. :D

Can't help feeling slippers ought to be something open-topped.
An M10 or Wespe*, maybe.
*Hummel perhaps for those with feet as big as my younger sprog's!
Slippers? Who said anything about slippers?

Very good FSN ;D. Get enough for the whole family and you could have great games against each other, or even your own version of Twister, given your splits debacle earlier on :D ;)
Do you thinki they would go with my Goring Nightcap and Goebbels cardigan?
Somebody find fsn's pills, quickly.
Cheers - Phil.

I thought it looked more like a hummel anyway :)
my good lady crochets so I am going to try my luck :)
Hope FSN's anti-aircraft gun has not been converted to depth charge delivery system.
I saw this linked somewhere else a while back and I'm still waiting on the missus to crotchet them for me :( She says it's in the craft queue, I believe this is something similar to my painting queue.
Hah, I have a lead mountain, the t'other half has a wool mountain... I quite want a pair of these though :D

Just when it seems that the frontiers of Wallydom has been pushed to the limits....
I always thought that "pushing the envelope" had something to do with mailmen...
Of course you could have Chieftain slippers if you didn't mind them breaking down all the time and leaving oil all over the place!
Scorpion/CVRT slippers would be very fast and you could do wheelies in them.

If you saw the program on school proms the other night, all boys are now remarkably metrosexual and appear to have more grooming products than the girls. Gone are the days of beer and twenty bladed razors, in are fake tans, weird hair regimes, nail buffing and similar. The young no longer honour the gods, sons no longer honour their fathers, our children have funny hair cuts and society is collapsing!
Jeez! have we been transported back to 1968?
Every generation thinks its new... I was reminded of the early 80's :)
Except it's so much more homogenized and mass market...
In 1968 you were either a long haired lout or a skinhead, or else you were a total dweeb. No prizes for guessing what I was if I tell you I was into Soul music. In fact I've just got in from the barber's where I got a No.1.
I was very much in the dweeb camp until middle of secondary, where my hair was long enough to qualify as a rocker. Still is, even at the front :D Last time I had it cut was for a school production of Grease where I had a huge quiff and a ducks arse. I kind of miss that...

You've been here before, haven't you?
Sadly no.....But to my shame I have seen 'The Hangover 2" (Dearie, dearie me.)
Cheers - Phil
I've seen 1, 2 and 3 Techno.
I have no shame :)
I've had 1,2 and 3...... and also 4, 5 and 6. It hurt a lot next day.

I think your/you are/you're (FK please delete as you see fit) exagerating. :)

Okay, where do you put your foot in the shark one ? . . .and there is only one, is it a left foot shark or a right foot one?
