My child went out with her father after school yesterday and came home wearing a T-shirt that said 'Born to be a WAG'. He claimed, when he finally worked out why I was kicking him, that he'd not read it and she just wanted the sparkly one. I may start sending Primark hate mail ( Read more... )

Opening paragraphs from random Saiyuki fic say you write like Margaret Atwood. You last email? Shakespeare. Soooooo not fair. http://iwl.me/b/31ac0f16 Here, if this hasn't been all over your flist too.

Not my husband, and I'm so glad I live in an age when a busted condom doesn't tie you to a man until death us do part.

I'd love to blame Primark, but presumably there are people that buy that crap.

T-shirt = blech. *shakes head*

And I got Dan Brown too - but I'm taking comfort in that whatever code they're running can almost certainly only determine 'String Contains -- Proper Nouns, -- Verbal Endings, -- Speech Marks', rather than (the more useful) 'String Contains Bollocks'.

I write like Stephen King, apparently! Naturally, I'm reasonably happy with this. :DDD And am snagging, because this is the first time I've seen this. (You do notwrite like Dan Brown!)

Wasn't it Primark that had to withdraw their classy line in padded bikinis for the under-5s? Seriously skeevy.

I find sections that are mostly dialogue are quite likely to get Stephen King. It's been a while since I read one, but I don't remember them being dialogue heavy.

And yeah, that was Primark. Though you can still buy matching bra and panties for seven year olds.
