Lets hope it's as inaccurate as usual

Apparently according to the weathermen we are supposed to get lots of cold weather this weekend and I'm guessing it will be quite cold if their right as they seem to be using the word 'Artic' a whole lot. So I guess the best I can do right now is hope that their inaccurate as usual. Failing that I will try to look on the bright side that at least this cold weather arrives at a weekend when I don't have to drive to work and thus avoid the inevitable tenseness and freaking out about having to drive in my least favourite weather condition which would have resulted.

This does remind me a quote that that I heard once which went along the lines of " you know when your getting old when the idea of it snowing turns from being fun to be annoying"

Still regardless of the weather it is now the weekend which means two whole days to myself before having to head back to work. I also have plans to get something constructive done as well. But hopefully more news about that on Sunday.

The News today seemed to be much more focussed one what celebrities have been getting up. Because someone, somewhere obivousily thought that it was vitally important that Lindsey Lohan and girlfriend had a arguement, madonna got divorced, Michael Jackson now spells his name Mikaeel, a cheeky girl posed for photos, Jordan also posed for photos in her underwear but nobody cared and most of the Female contestants on I'm a celebrity get me out of here seem to constantly be spending their time in bikini's getting wet under waterfalls. Can't possibily imagine what their trying to do there.

However not to be outdone by not getting in the newspapers, Katy perry performed a show dressed up as a flamenco Dancer, although to be fair compared to her usual dress sense " She looked Fine!" Which is probably the first and last time I will ever use a phrase like that and finally in a 'if the situation was reversed and it was a male pop group using Female models people would be screaming from the rooftops" the sugarbabes have released the video to their new single which shows them surrounded by men acting as motorbikes, cars and pieces of furniture. Also apparently to help in said needed potrayals of items all the men have to be wearing as little as possible.

Still saying that ( and yes my memory does work in strange ways sometimes, c'est la vie :-) it reminded me of a time at uni when one of the girls from one of my courses asked a group of lads after the lecture about what sort of girls 'caught our eye' and what sort of clothes they would be wearing. When we asked her why she had asked this question she said she had noticed that a lot of guys didn't seem to be noticing the girls in 'revealing clothing' as much and seemed to be more looking at girls who were 'covered up' as it were. After a brief discussion we realised she was right and came to the conclusion that it was more a case that girls 'covering up' on nights out were rare and stood out from the 'norm' of more revealing outfits which is what was attracting guys attention.

She seem satisfied with that answer then asked the guys another question. As she was doing a joint with women studies for her degree she was debating an idea for a dissestation which for some reason ( and I really can't remember why she thought of this) which needed some feedback from the guys. So we agreed ( d'oh should have waited for the question first) we would try and answer for her from the males perspective. She then proceeded to ask and I'll put this as delicately as possible why Guys were not as interested in the idea/image of two guys kissing as they were in the idea/image of two girls kissing. There was a long awkward pause, followed by every guy not only in our little group but in hearing distance making an excuse and disappearing from the canteen as fast as we could possibly move. Needless to say she never asked that question again and decided on a totally different idea and I also learned to always hear the question first before agreeing to answer anything.

Anyway on that slight note of reminiscing I'll call it a night.

Later folks!
