That is SO last week...

Ahh people do make me laugh. I happened to overhear was eavesdropping on two girls who shall remain anonymous - though both are so highly unlikely to be reading this I don't really know why I'll bother - and if it hadn't been completely socially unacceptable (God damn you society *shakes fist*) I would have burst out laughing there are then.


Just as a little background for those of you who don't know much about fashion [not that I am claiming to have much knowledge, but I have read a substantial enough number of Elle magazines to have realised that a fashion 'season' is the time in which designers release new collections - as in Spring/Summer 09]

Posh, Fashionable Girl: Well I did think Abercrombie was disappointing, I felt it was a bit between seasons...
Adoring Friend: Oh I know! [translation: I have no clue what that means] I was thinking about buying a hoody... but I was just like, the winter's over, but it's not summer! Totally between seasons!
PFG: Oh... yeah... totally.

A reiteration of an earlier blog:
If you don't know what someone is talking about, either bluff effectively or keep your mouth shut :) haha. On second thoughts, don't. It does amuse me greatly.

Bluffing to catch a Bluffer

I totally owned Ed yesterday [what an incredibly stupid phrase]: the guy who introduced himself as a catholic fascist, a contradiction in terms me thinks, and went on to make an enemy of Katie through the medium of theological debate.


Well, I managed to expose his bluffs which are concealed by the illusion of book smart arguments. When asking about my politics, to which I gave a spectacularly vague, left-wing oriented response, he began ranting about how the labour party contains no real lefties [as in politically, I'm not sure about the proportion of right to left handed people (Y)].

Knowing very little about labour MPs I decided to throw in a bluff by simple stating 'Hillary Benn'. While politically I am only aware of Benn's status as an MP as opposed to any real opinions or political tendencies, I decided this was a fairly safe bet based on Daddy, Tony Benn,'s political views. This worked in my favour, but not how I expected.

Ed began his response, 'Yeah, but she's...' and I unfortunately cannot share with you the remainder of his reply, because I didn't hear it. I was too busy laughing. If you don't know what you're talking about, either bluff effectively or admit defeat. Unfortunately Ed's third word exposed his bluff and proved he was clueless.

Hillary Benn is a man.

To which Ed could only reply (and I quote:) '*splutter* Hillary Benn's a man? What idiot names a boy Hillary?'

Katy: I   Ed: Nil
