More fun at the Newsstand:
An old man tried to pay me in sweets.
Two older women in matching mobility scooters congealed in front of me whilst smoking, bickering, and eating McDonalds. At least I can be happy in the knowledge that there are hamsters out there right now that will out live them.
A woman had seven kids, the six boys were all dress exactly the same and the girl was in pink. One of the middle boys was crying because he was lost and when the Mother found him she didn’t realize he had been missing. I wouldn’t want to be in that family for so many reasons.
A quick word about Chav culture… WHY?! Do they support the athletic pursuits of the New York Yankees? Are they practicing Catholics? Did they graduate from one or more American High Schools? Then why, why, why, dear God why, do they wear Yankee hats, rosaries (which Mrs. Murphy said that if you wore them like that you remove the blessing from them – because trust me I wanted to wear my pink plastic rosary just as much as the next second grader.) and class rings? They are as bad the dorky kid trying to be tough sitting in the back of the class at Saint Ignatius Prep school – which lets face it –it’s not big – it’s not clever – it is not cool.
A quick word about Cool culture…If you look at it, it is not cool. The people that go out of their way for fashion look stupid – they are the people who’s pictures they show when it’s a retrospective show about a decade that isn’t even four years past saying “Ha, ha, ha, how stupid were they?”. Look at Top Shop it tries to make you believe that ponchos, brown and orange, and plastic jewelry are all good ideas. Also because wearing thrift store / charity shop clothes is now cool (sorry this came twenty years too late for the Testas) it is also now cool to pay full retail price on other people’s clothes they are selling at Top Shop because it is ‘vintage’. But the cool people shop there. But the cool people get their hair cut at Toni and Guy and get the executive mullet look with big sunglasses. They are as bad as a Tennessee highway patrolman – which lets face it –it’s not big – it’s not clever – it is not cool.

The thing that really annoys me about Charity SHop Chic: I can't afford it anymore. I liked cheap flares and old suit jackets but before I got my arse in gear to actually buy one or whatever, it all became trendy and the only place flares are available is bleedin' topman. And thAT IS VERY ANNOYING. Caps Lock annoying.
Mrs. Murphy would be proud!
