Yum I seriously love Tiramisu - if that's on the menu, I plan the meal backwards!

You were a porter at Harrods?

*head explodes*

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

It was part of the entry criteria for Oxbridge: vacation job at Harrods.

I had to sit A levels.

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

I had to sit A levels, an entrance exam and have an interview.

And then I had to be a porter at Harrods - once for the winter sale, and once for the summer.

I worked in fridges one time, and carpets the other. Carpets was possibly the best job I've had - sitting around reading all day (Gormenghast, I recall) to be called on a few times a day to move carpets around.

I don't think you meant this the way I read it.

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

Dig the ambiguity.

Ah, The Shore.... there ARE some good things about Edinburgh...

Had my fish and chips fix at Anstruther last week, and well worth the drive it was.

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

There are loads of good things about Edinburgh! Not least that the bastard town planners didn't drive a motorway through the city centre - though they wanted to, apparently.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Ah well, I'd never say nice things about Auld Reekie - you just have to infer my true opinion of the place by how often I seem to go there...

[frankie-ecap.livejournal.com]

That's to see me.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

That's because you're one of the nicest things about Edinburgh.

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

But she lives in London. Discuss.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I get easily confused in big cities. I'm just a country boy (this is an absolute lie, but still...)

[frankie-ecap.livejournal.com]

That's not the confusion of the big city, honey. That'll be the drink.
