For those of you who often wonder what daily life is like in Burton-on-Trent (who doesn't?) allow me to paint a brief picture.
Today there was like, an ACTUAL American in Tesco. Like, she had an accent and everything! It was amazeballs people, everyone turned round and stared. She may as well been a flamingo wondering around buying milk, for all her exoticness. She was asking the (English) teenage boy she was with if he was getting "Spaghetti, or what do you call it over here? Bolognese." I am now fascinated by this comment. Are 'spaghetti' and 'bolognese' not two separate enterties (though admittedly, often paired) in America, like they are over here? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Also, I saw a guy in a van spray painting half the drains on the road bright blue, and leaving the others. Theories?
occasionally i think about odd things
