I hate shopping for clothes. It's one of my least favourite pastimes. It ranks up there with going to the bank or having a tooth extracted. The problem is all those trendy shops. The assistants look at me as if I've dropped off a UFO. OK, I dress scruffily and am not the right shape, but come on...at least pay me no attention rather than the normal derisive curiosity.
Today I wouldn't have minded so much only NO SHOP IN DUNDEE stocks this simple item of clothing. I spent two hours looking for one and didn't find any. Not one. Once upon a time, a few years ago, you couldn't enter a shop without tripping over several rails of them.
What is it?
A waistcoat.

6:05am and I'm quite sober...
Makes a change. Well, not really. I'm normally a very sober person, it's just that recent posts may have skewed the impression.
I've had a very tiring week. 19 days without a day off, a 50hr week and a friend's stag night at the end of it all. Wow. It's a wonder that I'm still sane.
Today, well...Yesterday now, was declared a day of faff. I got to wake up late, potter about, watch the Americans make a hash of Scrapheap challenge and go to the cinema with Slacker. I can wholly recommend Shaun of the Dead. Spaced the Movie but more so. I didn't miss either the £5 or the two hours spent watching it. The movie was very clever and the opening sequence was a very smart insight into modern living. Go see it if you like Channel 4 Brit Com.
As to why I'm still awake? Slacker loaned me the new Battlestar Galactica miniseries. I loved it! It was a very good take on a childhood favourite. The only thing missingwass the original music (which made a couple of cameos). The female Starbuck didn't change the character at all and thecharacterizationn of Baltar was inspired. The only drawback? Boxy lives! (Noooooooo!)
