We’re walking past Covent Garden tube when a scruffy-looking guy standing in front of a blaring CD player thrusts an empty CD case into my hand. “If you go to the Adidas original store around the corner, they’ll give you the CD,” he explains.
There, we’re surrounded by racks of retro clothing – the sort of stuff that would have looked good in the 70s. (Sorry, strike that: it wouldn’t have looked at all good in the 70s, but people would have worn it all the same).
And then there was the footwear section. I browsed, idly, lost in contemplation of 70s spanking scenes that we could play. So now I’m waiting for the Dunlop Original Store to open: I need a pair of their “green flash” training shoes, so that Haron gets to ‘enjoy’ that authentic PE teacher experience.
A cross-country run, I think. Pushing another girl over, so that she fell into the mud. “It was an accident, sir,” said girl would plead, trying not to get Haron into trouble. But I would have seen the whole incident across the fields, would remember their bickering before the race.
I’d send the muddy girl on her way: “I admire your loyalty, but if I ever catch you lying to me again, you’ll regret it.” “Yes, sir.” And then I’d turn to Haron….
PS If the good people from Dunlop are reading and would like to send me a pair in return for the advertising, do email. And if the folks from Adidas want to try and boost their market share amongst the spanko community by trying to convince me that their trainers were more effective than Dunlop’s, they’d be most welcome.
Well I don’t know about effectiveness but Dunlop green flash look awesome with thigh-high socks and a mini dress. Very Ghetto Chic. I didn’t realise they’d been around since the olden days though…
Are you going to grow the requisite 70s sideburns for the scene, Abel?
*mind boggling as we speak*
I bet Abel is digging out his penny edged collars,kipper ties,tank tops and platform shoes as we speak!
That took me right back to 1st year Juniors (age 7…I think!) My form tutor was most proficient at walloping naughty boys and on one memorable occasion a girl with his green flash… the girl was a total spitfire, a tiny little thing with a strong set of teeth as the teacher discovered that day, she wriggled and squirmed as he tried to keep hold and wallop her and the rest of the class sat by watching in total amazement, not amazed at the walloping, but amazed that she didn’t just bend over and take it as ALL the boys did.
Ahhh… happy days
ps… she was expelled and sent to a private school with posh blazers and felt hats which I imagine she enjoyed trampling into the mud!
Abel, it sounds to me as though Evie has just asked for a personal demonstration of the effectiveness of a green flash, and she appears to own some. Just sayin’…
Indiana – I think that you’re the only one of the five respondents so far *not* to merit a spanking with the Green Flash when I get hold of a pair 😉
Oooo, nice comments, everyone!
What did I do to merit a spanking? Huh?! I’m a good girl… and Indiana is just a big trouble maker, putting words into Evie’s mouth…erm…comment, which is a spankable offense in anyones book!
Merit a spanking for making an innocent suggestion!!!!
(Or did I touch a nerve? Maybe Abel’s tanktops aren’t buried as deep in his closet as he would have us believe :P)
I’m with Sarah if anyone deserves spanking it has to be Indiana for being such a suck up!
H x
*now having visions of Abel trying to look menacing in a tank top, sideburns and comedy porn star moustache… and wearing one Dunlop Green Flash trainer (he seems to have taken the other one off)
catherine: Do you know what Abel has been reading lately? Don’t let the thought of him in 70s gear mislead you my dear…Right now I’d say he’s pretty ‘shagadelic’!!! (Groovy baby)
LOL, Sarah and Harriet.
If only the 70’s really were the olden days so that its fashions could no longer reasonably be revived every 20 or 30 years. I’ve always thought that the more of the 70’s you lived through the first time around, the less inclined you would be to go retro.
So sad to see today’s youth repeating all the mistakes of their elders…
::Struggling to keep a straight face. Failing miserably::
A) The seventies *is* the Olden days. That’s just a plain fact.
B) The only really punishable offence should be wearing a tank top or having side burns. (Abel?!)
Rob: there are Austin Powers *books*???
All I said was that I could see why Evie and Smudge thought Abel old as he yawned himself awake after his early evening nap… and next thing I knew he was proving that he did indeed know how to deal with naughty young ladies who passed comment on his advanced years as I found myself bent over touching my toes as he, in his tank top, with sideburns and comedy porn moustache twinkling in the lamp light wielded his paddle to great effect! Ow!
So watch out all of you or he’ll come and spank you… if he can find his specs and remembers where he left his nice warm woolly jumper (the elderly need to wrap up warm).
Is it obvious that I’m safely home now where Abel can’t catch me? 😉
catherine: No. Take a look at the Banquet House birching post. Abel has been reading about a rendition of a particularly hot scene, and I was simply suggesting that no matter what he looked like, under the clothes right now is a man ready for action!
Rob: LOL I’m not sure I’ve ever known Abel not to be up for spanking a girl, whether she deserved it or not 😉 (I nearly said it never hurts because he’s getting old; then I remembered his new toy… ow!) But he’s a nice old fella really and I think that hot scene he’s linked to would be a bit much for him… did you see the result??? Eek!!! http://zilledefeu.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/zilles-beaten-bruised-bum/
catherine: A ‘nice old fella’! I hope he takes that as a compliment, my dear!
I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him, of course, but I concur with the sentiment. Having said that, it was a very hot scene, and may have given him a new idea or two. I’d be polishing up on the “yes sirs” if I were you…
(PS Saw the photo (OMG!))
Awwww, poor Zille – she looks like one very sore girl in the photo that Catherine just linked to. And yes, they’re rather more severe marks than I’d personally inflict to anyone.
The 70s are retro even for me – I was only 12 when they finished, remember. But if anyone here dares to be rude about the 80s…
Sarah was lucky yesterday evening: going to the Grand National with Martha rather tired me out, and I confess to keeling over somewhat early, admittedly helped on my way by a fantastic meal from the dear friend with whom we’re staying. (In my defence, I did try and catch a pre-dinner nap, to be woken by Haron blaring out music next door). But is this the first time that someone’s been paddled for quoting Evie and Smudge’s names at the dinner table, with a giggle? I hold the two young ladies personally responsible…
Rob – I have noted the “nice old fella” comment, don’t you worry…
Abel: “nice old fella” was meant as a compliment – Rob said so! Gosh, you’re so suspicious! But you’ve just confirmed that it’s nothing more than a statement of the truth, judging by your requirement for a pre-dinner nap.
(If you’d like a pipe and slippers as well, sir, I’ll make sure these measures are in place for your next visit… 😉 )
Ah! The Grand National. That brings back memories from last year and riding crops…
Something tells me that Evie and Smudge are smirking rather than feeling guilty…
Catherine, my husband is considerably older than Abel, and I assure you, you are going about it all the wrong way. When he says stuff like, ‘Would I still pass for 36?’ I assure him that he definitely would, and I have him eating out of my hands…..
(PS If he *ever* reads this, I am in SO much trouble!)
I remember getting the Dunlop greenflash gym shoe slipper several times together with a dozen other boys at school from the gym teacher. These gym shoes disappeared from the market after the late seventees, it would be great to see them back on the shelf again……
