Comments: Laces.

how else do you tie a knot unless you lace up your shoes by the bunny-ears method ?

fifth knot down.

I'm not sure what knot I use but it's not that one. Looks cute.

Anyway that's a site worth knowing. My boy is still on velcro straps and I've not been looking forward to teaching him and findiing out he's gut his Dad's luck with laces. I'll send him to that site.

The question here is:

Did you look up how to spell sacroiliac, or is it something that comes naturally?

Hello Watski.

Actually I cheated and I did check that one. I thought it was 'sacroileac' but was saved from embarrassment by 'Check Selection Spelling'.

It is a word I have heard very often since I was a gardener's assistant at age 19 and began many years of back spasm. Never seen it written in all that time although I have heard it in at least two songs.

OK, I'll bite, which songs?

Hello Bogue.

I'm a bit vague now I'm in the witness box.

One was by 10CC, I think. Typical smartarse stuff probably.

The other has a line about 'broke my sacroiliac' which rhymed with something, probably 'heart attack'.

Wasn't laying a trail there, honest, but maybe I should look it up/think on.
