I was just thinking

I do not own wellington boots and I don't like custard and I have no idea what a shingle beach is but I'm going to give this a go. If I were to fill my thigh high stripper boots up with chocolate pudding to an inch below the top, no pudding would spill out. It would be pasted all over my legs, but hey, some people are into that sort of thing. Then after learning that a shingle beach is a beach which is armoured with pebbles or small to medium sized cobbles. I would find one and set off with my tea. But here is the part that gets tricky. One would find it difficult in boots such as I was wearing to run anywhere so I would more or less just scamper on my tip toes but the tea would certainly spill. I can't stand still and drink something hot without it running down my lip. Just the thought of trying to run while consuming it has me picturing 2nd degree burns under my bikini top. (yes I would be in a bikini, I am on a beach, am i not?)

Oh My! I have absolutely loved your topic here...Just finished reading each and every response here...Priceless Now, to get down to business here... We don't have any pebbly beaches here in Ontario, Canada and I sure don't own any Wellingtons..I think they are the equivalent to Rubber boots (Don't own them either) However, If I were to do as you have asked I would most certainly spill the tea and burn myself in the process! Especially if it were in a mug or a tea cup or even a paper cup with a lid for that matter...I spill from those while just walking forget about running!!! The only thing that might save the tea would be a travel mug but then my luck the lid would most likely fall off when I slipped in the custard and feel on my face burning me anyway! Thanks so much for making my day today and I also am here to make sure that Donna gets her money! I know you are good for it I'll bet $2.00 that you make it to thirty! ~Heavens~

Yes I think I could as the Custard would certainly slow me down specially if it is thick Custard, but P1ke just the thought of having Custard in the Wellis and my Feet in there is making me cringe lol A s for my Sanity, well I have been wondering about that already did you have to make it worse lol xx

Nope id probably spill a lot but I am the clumsiest person alive I can be barefoot on a flat floor and STILL fall over I avoid walking with drinks as much as possible!

Hey p1ke! I have no idea what you were thinking when you put this up for discussion, but I know that because you are such a popular mylotter that your friends will flock to this discussion anyway! I don't even know what a wellington boot is! And I also don't know what a shingle beach is! So that being said I am really curious about those things before I can answer whether or not anything would spill! But, actually who am I kidding? I can't carry a cup of tea from the counter to my desk without it spilling! And that is such a short distance!Sorry, I know you hate the smileys!

First of all, I don't know what a shingle beach is. Most beaches I have seen are sandy. That aside, if you fill your boots to just an inch below the top, putting your foot into the boot would squish the stuff up over the edge before you even got your cup of tea and started your run. So, the answer is I don't think so.

Right away your scenario brings this to mind. 'If you throw a slice of toast with butter into the air, it will always fall with the buttered side down' 'A cat will always land on its foots.'So, what would happen if we stick a slice of toast with butter to a cat's back and we throw it to the air? Perhaps we should put wellington boots on the cat. Hmmmm..........

I could if the wellies had a drawstring at the top to keep the custard in, and if the cup was only half full of tea and I could gulp it down in one mouthful in the middle of putting one foot before the other as I ran......................However, it occurs to me that wellies full of custard would be awfully hard to run in, especially on a shingle beach with a cup of hot tea trying to find my mouth! LOL And I'm not taking the bet because you are just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too popular here for people to ignore your moments of insanity.

Hi p1ke..if it were me no I wouldn't spill anything as my wellingtons would have me stuck like lead to one spot..I find wellingtons heavy to wear anyway!! lol...littleowl

Well first of all, I'm pretty sure you will get more than 20 responses. Advantages of coming into a discussion late. Now really I'm wondering if that custard was laced with brandy and if you absorbed it through your sking, because I'm not quite sure how to take this discussion otherwise. But it made me laugh and that's always good!

I cannot walk barefoot carrying a cup of anything, even a half cup of anything without spilling it.. I bet you $2.00 that you get more than 20 responses..

What are Wellington boots??? BTW, where is my $2.00, this is post #21

Firstly, does the custard go in the boots before the feet, or after? Allowing for a Eureka moment, I'll do the custard first and enjoy that oozy, custardy goodness running down the outside of the boots. I don't drink tea, though - so could I substitute coffee instead? Does this substitution make the experiment invalid? We don't have shingle beaches in Aus, either ... oh dear, I'm going to be a bit of a disappointment ...

I want to know how hot is the tea? And are you wearing a hat Let's get down to the quick on this thing, are the boots yellow or black? Ha

Firstly it is important to sit down to drink hot tea, the drink that cheers but does not inebriate, it only cheers if you sit down to drink it. Secondly, why waste custard by putting it in your wellies? Unless it's my lumpy custard in which case it wouldn't spill but glob out of your wellies. Thirdly, you need a very early night, your sanity has deserted you completely. By the way, the answer is 'no'.

Ok, I think the way to do it would be to wear a plaster cast and bandage cover, that you can get to protect casts from water when you have a bath or swim (or splash in puddles), over each welly. That way any custard that does vacate the welly is not wasted and protects the shingles from contamination. As for the hot tea, you could put a specially designed cover/straw contraption over it which would chill the tea a little as you drink it (basically a sealed cylinder with a hole through the middle for a straw and filled with water. The idea is to freeze this before using). Hope this helps next time you partake in your favourite past-time.

i was ,just a few minutes ago,wondering aloud,whether i was in my proper mind to get married(after another round of he irritating me) and now this discussion!!!i told you,mylot was informative,now i know what shingles mean??

Hi ya p1kef1sh Tut, tut, tut, you've been thinking again, that can be very dangerous p1key!! LOL My answer is - NO

i would definately spill something but if i filled my boots with jelly and my cup with milk i wouldn't spill any at all it's all in the contents my p1shy friend all in the contents. Anyways whats the story jackinory? Need a new one for tonight can't go to sleep without one at bedtime

It's very difficult for me to understand your discussion.Yet I'm trying to respond.It's not possible for me to drink a hot cup of tea and at the same time eat wellington boots with custered without pouring any thing along a shingle beach.It's my just experiment.Excuse me.
