Small World Syndrome

1. I work in the same office for the same company as Minkleberry (haven’t gone to visit yet but might).


2. The flat mate I moved in with 3 years ago (Isabel) turned out to be best friends from school with my male best friends sister.


3. My friend from Uni’s best mate (from Suffolk) had shagged my friend (from Liverpool) on holiday and was staying in my room and suddenly started screaming as there was a picture of him by my bed.


4. I made friends with a girl at uni in London and my friend randomly made friends with her best friend in Nottingham and none of us made the connection until we all went out one new year…


5. I started dating Mr Big (really!!) and it turned out that his brother had lived with my mate at uni in Leeds… we had been to at least 3 house parties together and never met (well, I was always too drunk)!!

OK – I give up, but it really is odd… provide me with 5 more and I’ll rest happy.

Its good to be a woman

1. We got off the Titanic first.

2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynaecological disorder excuses.

3. Taxis stop for us.

4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

5. No fashion faux pas we make, could ever rival the Speedo.

6. We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.

7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.

8. We can congratulate our team-mate without ever touching her rear end.

9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.

10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.

11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.

12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.

13. We will never regret piercing our ears.

14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

OK - that was 15, but I didn't write it... my friend sent it to me...

Childhood sweeties

1) Black Jacks and Fruit Salads - fantastic fun and still hugely amusing to stick your tongue out at people on the bus

2) Those weird pink prawn things that kind of melt when you suck them

3) Ditto the bananas

3) White mice - the best chocolate ever invented, although not sure if they had ever seen a coco bean.

4) Cola Bottles (I once kept one on my tongue for 27 minutes before swallowing - quite an exciting childhood you're getting a glimpse of there!!)

5) Jelly Tots (my mothers answer to anything - 'What do you mean you've broken your finger/ teddy bear/ head/ Barbie - have a Jelly Tot')

6) Strawberry bootlaces - still make my teeth hurt.

7) Exciting and strange sweets that looked like blackberries that my father would bring back from German and I would swap for crisps, stickers and pencils with my friends

8) Jelly Babies - Always bite the head off first so that they don't feel any pain when you eat them!

9) The white chocolate circles with hundreds and thousands on them that always ended up in my pick and mix.

10) Suggestions? Anyone?? X
