Choose My New Crutches!

I've decided that I'm tired of my grey metal hospital-issue crutches and want to splurge on something less boring and dull. I Googled 'funky crutches' and [url="http://www.coolcrutches.com/shop_uk.php"]these came up[/url].

I'm thinking of the hot pink ones, or maybe a polka dotted pair. I'm notoriously indecisive. :) Help me to make my mind up.

Swords would be epic. Specifically for when I get on a crowded train and there is somebody in the seat marked 'Priority seating for disabled customers' and they pretend not to have seen me coming.

Seriously, asking someone to get up when they're pretending I'm invisible always makes me feel a bit embarrassed and guilty. "I challenge you to a duel for this seat!" would be much more satisfying than meekly asking if I can sit in it.

I highly recommend VG-10 steel. It takes a wicked edge and the grain is beautiful.

I've found a really nice dark pink pair on eBay. Normally I'm wary of buying used mobility aids in case they suddenly collapse in the middle of the street or something, but if the price stays low I'll bid on these ones. If not I'm ordering polka dots, by popular opinion. :)

The first big journey that my snazzy new crutches and I will be going on is down to London to see Sr Faith. (I should probably have the brown polka dots - very Carmelite.) Photos of that hopefully to follow.

I like the leopard ones.. I like the polka dots too, but not the colors. I'd say hot pink with black or purple polka dots would be amesome!
