Ok, before I get going on the whole "Holy frak I FINALLY have my Doctor Who cosplay coat", time for a brief point on the subject of stupidity.
Now I accept that some people are smarter then others and it can be taxing on those who find it a little harder when they feel people are talking down to them. So I try to deal with everyone in roughly the same way and take them as they come. But. BUT.....
On my online dating profile there was a question saying "Do you consider yourself more intelligent then other people?" My response was "in general yes. That's not to say I'm particularly smart, there's just a lot of REALLY dumb people pulling the average down".
Two conversation lines from the day, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not saying they're in any way connected to my previous point:
1) "There aren't any conservatives here are there?" "What are conservatives?" "The political party" "Oh, I thought they were thing outside bit on your house" "That's a conservatory".
2) "So when you survive the zombie apology" "the what?" "zombie apology". "Apocalypse" "Yeah, whatever".
Yeah, so they're totally connected to my previous point. I honestly couldn't tell if the lass in question was trolling me. I thought she must be but if so she's an exceptionally talented actress. I'm very worried that she wasn't.
I can live with not knowing what the zombie apocalypse is all about but the idea that one would get to full blown adult hood and not know who the conservative party are? It boggles the mind.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that she's a lovely lass but is this a standard sample of humanity? Have I just been hanging around with an intellectual minority and if I step down any street in Newcastle it's full of people whose understanding of politics begins and ends with posting "Britain First" crap on their Facebook?
Gods I hope not.
Anyhow, incredulity aside, the main reason for this entry is to say that I'm now 10 days into my detox diet and it's going very well. The end date is set for the 8th of july but I might just keep it up a little longer at this rate. We'll see how I feel.
Secondly, "Holy frak I FINALLY have my Doctor Who cosplay coat"!
Yeah, it's fabulous. I am very chuffed because, as I say, this is the first major expenditure I've had in a while that wasn't really a practical thing but something I just really badly wanted. Now I have it. Looks like this on me.
Hopefully with a bit more weight shedding it'll look even cooler.
Huggles kids and till next time.
