    Alternate friday 5

    The favourite thing gets a bit boring sometimes. So here's something different:
    • Worst Job
    • Least Favourite Celebrity
    • Most embarrassing outfit
    • Character trait you hate the most
    • Worst place you've ever visited


    I'll start.

    Working part-time for strathclyde transport as a student, standing at a bus stop in the sticks for 12 hours noting the time buses arrived and how many people got on and off. In the middle of winter.

    Jordan - what is the point of her?

    My ma dressing me up in a purple velvet suit at primary school, and getting a picture of it as evidence. Then trotting it out to any girlfriend that ever came round.

    Fakeness.

    Guatemala City. Absolute tuliphole, and as dangerous a place as I've ever seen. Beautiful country though.
    Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

    Any forum is a collection of assorted weirdos, cranks and pervs - Board Game Geek

    That will be a simply fab time to catch up for a beer. - Tay

    Have you ever seen somebody lick the chutney spoon in an Indian Restaurant and put it back ? - Cyberghoul

    Absolutely. Some kind of record, usually old Spanish colonies have some impressive crumbling architecture right in the centre, and good street and cafe life: but G City was a huge ugly concrete sprawl with no apparent reason for being there. In a beautiful country.

          • Working on the line in a hospital food production plant... luckily it was only 2 days
          • Jade Goody (and her mother if she counts)
          • I wouldn't wear anything like that so don't have one
          • People who talk too much, use 20 words when 2 will do, talk too loudly and stand too close when talking to you
          • London is the only place which I don't look forward to visiting. Its just such a pain in the arse getting around anywhere. And since my last visit I've decided that its got a higher concentration of weirdos than other cities I've been to
          Coffee's for closers

            • Cleaner in a tobacco factory in Southampton. I had to wash my clothes every day when I got in I stank so much. I lasted 5 days, but I did get enough money to go sailing for a week.
            • I don't care enough to have anti-favourites. But, if pushed, I'd have to say Cliff Richard.
            • That multi-coulored stuff from the late 80's
            • Lying
            • North Africa. Specifically Tunis and Cairo - primarily for the people there.

              * Worst Job
              Being a phone monkey for PC World tech support. Never, ever again...

              * Least Favourite Celebrity
              Vanessa Feltz. Uuurrrgghhhh.

              * Most embarrassing outfit
              When I was a kid I had matching orange tie dye t-shirt and shorts. Fortunately nobody ever took any photographs.

              * Character trait you hate the most
              Dullness

              * Worst place you've ever visited
              This is kind of the best and worst place I've ever visited - did some of the First World War cemeteries when I was at school. It really hits you when there's graves stretching in all four directions as far as the eye can see what a waste of life it was.
