Shoelaces, also called shoestrings (US English) or bootlaces (UK English), are a system commonly used to secure shoes, boots and other footwear.They typically consist of a pair of strings or cords, one for each shoe, finished off at both ends with stiff sections, known as aglets. Each shoelace typically passes through a series of holes, eyelets, loops or hooks on either side of the shoe.
A popular myth states that Gurkha soldiers, fighting for Britain, crawled along the ground, feeling the laces of the soldiers they encountered. British soldiers employed straight- or bar-lacing, while Japanese troops employed a criss-cross pattern. Criss-cross laces could therefore mean the difference between life and death. The importance of correct lacing was thus emphasized to British troops. Whether true or not, there is an account of Gurkha soldiers checking the boots and laces of soldiers they encounter in the dark to find if they are friend or foe. $

In the interest of everyone’s sanity, I’m not gonna post anything relating to the Connie/Dylan/Ethan screentime debate for a while. The comments on the last few posts have gotten a bit out of hand, and I don’t want this page to become about people fighting with each other. Any confessions therefore in our inbox pertaining to this debate won’t get made, so sorry if this affects you.
I’ve always tried to reflect the wide variety of views that members of the fandom have, but I draw the line when it starts getting too intense in the comments and people begin to feel targeted and picked on, and I’m sorry to those who feel this way.
To everyone who has sent in messages of support, thank you. Let’s try and regroup and be our fun-loving fandom once more xx
Hey,
So I’ve been away for a while working on improving my mental health and have let this page slide slightly. There are a couple of confessions in the inbox but they don’t seem relevant to the show now so I hope people don’t mind if they are not posted.
I hope to get back to more regular posting about casualty, so feel free to send in your confessions!
