and I see nothing worth liking

Very occasionally when walking around the town one sees the happening with a combined high amusement/exasperation/despair value which is a male person wearing low-profile fashionable sports-effect shoes of gleaming whiteness which have unfortunately picked up a teeny weeny little tinywee scuff which their wearer is attempting to remove by rubbing with a licked finger, often whilst cursing and moaning quite despairingly, no doubt at the irrevocable loss of their footwear due to the newly-administered imperfection. Even if they get it all rubbed off THEY'LL KNOW IT'S THERE and it would probably show up under ultraviolet light in a disco or whatever they're called these days. A rare sight but well worth it.

I just missed getting this bloke as he used what limited powers of bodily co-ordination he was still able to summon in order to lean against a wall by a drainpipe (though not one which fed into a drain) in order to attempt to be sick on the pavement without getting anything on his trainers, possibly not realising the cleansing possibilities of highly acidic stomach fluids. Had he got a few splashes on them I might have been able to catch him mid-buff but he wove straightish onwards without pausing to check for damage.
