Fair game 
That's annoying, any one you can talk to about them? What do you do training wise? Anything direct?

I'm going to train with a few people around the country, people who I know and who have awesome calves and see what they do. I'm determined to get it sorted

volume, and by volume when it comes to legs you need to go crazy. they are the most used muscles in the body, so they are highly resistant when it comes to training.
like doing 100 reps to the calves = 10 reps on biceps.
think about people can run a marathon every week, try doing that using your arms. you need to push them a lot lot harder than any other muscle in the body.
Psycho Sonny is on the right track here.
When I was younger I used to do calf raises on the stairs at home, usually 4 sets of 50 reps with the last set to failure.
But legs have never been an issue for me, my weak parts are Arms and shoulders!

Good man
They will come along, as people have said, probably just need to hammer them twice as hard or something...
did you record everything you did on them last year? Just double that

I have small calves - family trait
Been hitting them twice a week on my bodybuilding program, I'll let you know how they come on.

Calves are painful when you've trained them hard, but at least you know you've managed to train them, it's the only bodypart where i used to struggle to feel anything.

Not entirely true, different things work for different people, so what might work for one person may not work for the other, but i've found low volume training has worked for me.
all you skinny calf people out there just walk around in high heels!
i havent seen many women who always awalk around in 4"+ heels with bad calves haha!!
me on the other hand, i am just genetically gifted with calves, however i do have abnormally short arms and legs, and flat feet so i guess you win some you loose some

I think having 'short' limbs so to speak makes things like calves stick out a bit more, annoying for us tall folk
Mine aren't too bad, need to post a new pic up of them actually as they've changed a tad...So damn hard to get a decent pic though!
This was December: Calves
Pretty naff, but atleast got some separation trying to poke through
