This one doesn't have a clever title either because the only ones that come to mind are unhelpful.

So, um, in the course of kicking some ideas around a muddy 2ndXI pitch before they put the goalposts back for the start of the new term, an idea that I'm not entirely sure how to express came to me ( Read more... )

single-breasted, rock&roll high street, everything i know is wrong

I had my first taste of it with an electronic device today. I was sitting on the Tube with my mobile phone, playing one of the noddy little low-res games it comes with (Snake, or Tetris or something) and a guy sat down next to me, got out his smartphone and started quite ostentatiously scrolling through the masses of awesome-sounding games on his screen. I felt sudden tech-shame ( ... )

Where's the "like" button???

Glad it's not just me!

I do wonder how these women do it. You see them at 8am with perfect makeup and straightened hair and you think "Crikey, lass, you must have got up at 6am to get all that done!"

I don't quite understand spending all that time on such things, to be honest. Not when I have so many other things I want to do. And it's not just DOING it, but maintaining it through the day. What if it's humid? Do you bring your straightener with you? What if it rains? What if you're riding in a convertible!!!

Well, I guess there would be no riding in a convertible, and that's just unacceptable. I'd rather have messy hair than give up the chance to have the wind muss it up.

And there are women (and men) out there who would look at me the way I look at them. Takes all kinds, I s'pose.

To be honest, if I have clean and matching socks on I count it a good day. Sure, I do the dressing-up thing for big events, but every day? No.

Dear me, yes. (And also El Bat's comment above, but in a different part of my head.)

Also "like". I missed girl school. Maybe because I went to a girls school :)

I rationalise it this way - if I spend 30 mins a day on self-maintenance (which I think is low) that's 3.5 hours a week. 175 hours a year. That's a whole week a year of my life down the drain. But it still gets to me.
