All is explained by the joke......
Geordie goes to the doctor with his bad leg. The doctor says "Well, now Geordie, let me see you walk"
"Work?" says Geordie, "Ahh cannot even wark!"
Then Geordie limps off to see the Queen for tea. "Well, Geordie," says the Queen "Will you have a cream cake or a meringue?"
"Naa, ya not wrang," says Geordie, "Ah'll av a cream cayak!"
Okay, okay, I'll stop now!

Seems he popped to the neighbours for private Jimmy Choo party yesterday. Ooooooo, get him!!!
And it's no good winking at me
from West Hollywood, is it? (now, two months ago.......)
Oh, and are those shoes glued to our feet? See Jimmy, will ya!
(Thanks to Wireimage, as ever)

I could have asked him to negotiate a discount on a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, if I had known Ioan was to be at the Jimmy Choo private party.
Anyway, I love the latest sets of pics! _________________ Every journey brings its own surprises: a challenge, a sudden detour, a new set of friends along the way, perhaps even a destination different from the one you intended. (Loreena McKennitt) |

Seems Ioan is actually wearing a Jimmy Choo jacket from the collection and I agree with the blogger that it's a shame he couldn't run to a pair of shoes....

Of course,I really love these new pictures. That jacket looks smashing on him! The "wink picture" is so cute. Ditto on the shoes,...at least a bit of polish on them would have helped the overall trendy-sport look ......--------------------------------------------------------------Thanks so much for the above translation,too,Stevie,--don't think I would have ever figured some of it out by myself! That website mentioned above looks fun and interesting. _________________ "...I met a teacher called Colin Smith....an immaculate man in everything he did;...no one ever mucked around in his classes...but he was also very fair,and he seemed to think there was something worthwhile about me."

We know a few military men who could teach him how to spit shine those shoes if he likes them so much. Of course, he should have learned how to do that in Warriors bootcamp. I do think he looks very attractive in those pictures, so I can easily ignore the boots. |
