Je suis anglais

Je suis anglais, et quand les Brittaniques ont d'ennui, nous nous calmon avec beaucoup de thé.

Polly, put the kettle on.

The One with the Deflated Ego

I wandered into a clothing store that I have spent rather a lot of money in since I moved to Melbourne. Normally there is a very attentive guy there who is very keen to try a number of outfits on me like his personal Barbie Doll.

Today was a sales girl I haven't met before, and from the dressing down she was receiving from her boss. During the fitting process she told me that their store effectively sets out to dress anorexic males and jockeys. I wasn't sure I really fit into either of those categories, I didn't really take much notice of it though, I'm not youre 6 foot plus security guard type. Her next comment was the one that really skewered me through the ego "guys who work out just don't fit into our clothes."

I like my shape when I look in the mirror, I work out.. but I still fit their clothes..
