I hate it when I'm wrong...
I've always made a point of not buying designer label clothes and maligning the whole idea of doing so. I've really never seen the point of paying obscene amounts of money for something that you could get something for a tenth of the price at the Primark and still look good. I enforce this even more strictly at work - why in hell's name should you pay a lot of money to wear clothes for somewhere you don't like?
One particular member of staff in SoL finds the fact I even enter Primark repulsive and reacts in horror if I say I bought my work shirt from George. His tie is often more expensive than my whole outfit!
Today I am wearing:
Green George shirt (2 for £15) - £7.50
Black Primark trousers - £10
No belt
A pair of five pairs for a pound Primark socks - 20p
Booster shoes from Diechmanns - £14.99
Primark underpants - £1
TOTAL: £33.69
However, there is a flaw in my holier than thou about clothes thing. The guy finally spotted it after noticing something on my specs.
"What brand are your glasses, Mark?"
"Well... um... er... Ralph Lauren."
"And isn't that an exclusive watch that you're always going on about?"
"Well... um... er... yes."
"So how much did you pay for those two?"
"Over £600."
I lose.
I LIKE my specs - they're lightweight and fashionable and DO look better than the Boots own ones. I LIKE my watch - it's accurate and has automatic windup and DOES look better than a crappo digital watch.
Meh! A world without hypocrisy would be a very boring place...
Have fun,

Current mood:
blah.Current music: There Must Be An Angel by The Eurythmics.
And has always annoyed me...
I'm sat in a bar waiting for mates. When in said situation, one tends to let ones eyes wander. The big telly is showing the video for Torn by Natalie UmBongo; the music over the speakers is Down Boy by Holly Wotsit. Why oh why do pubs have MTV on when they're playing other music?!?!
Gah!
Have fun,
