Me and Simon were discussing this on the way home and at home the other day.
What would you put down if you had to advertise yourself on a dating site?
Simon said his basic measurements (he does fancy himself a bit, that one..but then who wouldn't? He is cut from his very own cloth).
I said I'd put down my bra measurement and he said if you were putting that down you could just lie (like he wouldn't lie about his measurements?! Well, not that he would have to but then neither would I as I am unfortunately gifted in the bust region).
Anywho, I told him that most of them annoy me because people never tell the truth, I would!
I'd say something like:
"Girl (still feels strange to call myself woman) looking for a stud with blue eyes. I am a funny person because I do stupid shit that pains me but might make you laugh and if it doesn't then you're not the man for me. I'm witty at the best of times but when we argue I can get sarcastic and that will piss you off and you may want to slap me about, but be warned if you do because I shant sit back and take it, you will feel pain in the bollock area. I like getting my own way (but then anyone who says they don't are lying) and I am a master at negotiating and arguing as it is what I do for a living. I'm messy but in a controlled way, I know where all my shit is. I'd add something "quirky" about myself such as I don't like peas and if I go to bed wearing socks they will be off my feet by the morn. I like material things but I know there is more the life than a bottle of Chanel No5. I can be a bitch at times but if I like you enough you won't ever see too bad a side of me because that side barely comes out. This might sound like quite a pessimistic ad but at least I'm not shitting you :) I think I'd add something about my two all time favourite bands being The Verve (because their albums remind me of when I was a kid and summers gone by) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (just in case John Frusciante is reading the ad..one can always dream) and I think that would be it.
Part 2:
I have so much respect for social care workers, how they can do such a selfless task is beyond me. Now I know people are going to point out that they get paid but compared to what they do for that money they should get a hell of a lot more, they should be treated as kings and queens. I could never ever do that because I am not that selfless. They should be the people who are lauded as heroes in this country, not people like David Beckham and Johnny Wilkinson, they have nothing "great", all they have done is come from nothing and become millionaires...there are tonnes of people like that and they aren't special, they haven't given society anything as important as what these care workers are doing. Gordon Brown and Darling boy should take note of all the good they do and pay them more, add THEM to the definition of key workers because that is what they do.
