Re: HVAC question…

So am currently at an impasse. Had the HVAC techs over... they agreed motor noise/vibration was unusual, told me to have it replaced along with the wheel. He did make one change - wired the highest speed to air conditioning and the next highest speed to heat (before, heat and cooling were both the ...

Re: Mouse's Wedge-heeled Boots

Not strictly platform boots, I rather like the wedge-heeled boots which Mouse wore to Meetup No 6/2 and his visit to "The Great Electric Train Show " . Are the boots still available to buy, Mouse? Link? This is the closest that Timberland now do to my wedges and they are available in 5 co...

Re: Imgur stopping photos from displaying in the UK

There is a workaround for UK users of SkirtCafe. As Imgur will not serve photos to UK IP address ranges, one should be able to use a VPN set to the USA say, to fool Imgur into serving the photos. Note: Imgur is a site that's entirely separate from SkirtCafe and we here have no control over it. My p...

Re: Skirts you like but scared to wear in public

I have a pencil skirt in black mock leather which I haven't dared to wear outside the house. Its all a matter of managing the risk. That's why I quoted you MB. Could you do the same? Change on the train. Once you are in London, who cares? I was running late for a pick-up at the pharmacy. So I thoug...

Re: Chapman Stick - A Different Instrument

Yes, I’m fully aware you posted Nick Beggs in skirt playing Chapman stick on a thread made a long time ago. However, I thought I’d post a photo of him playing Chapman stick in skirt as this topic was about the Chapman stick and coincidentally this forum is about men in skirts and nobody has posted ...

Re: Causing Confusion

Rather depends on whether the robots have purely visual sensors or whether they will also have other sensors (radar-like, sonic, X-ray)? :wink: :) Nope. Give a computer all the sensory equipment you want and it's still going to blow "gender identification" most every time. Why? Because it...

Re: Platform boots

All three of the styles of boot have full zips on the inner sides of the leg.
So all reasonably easy to put on and take off again.

Personally though, I'm not a fan of any type of platform footwear. Each to their own, I guess.
