Finally got around to watching the second episode of the Rotters Club. So obviously supposed to be KE, but i love the fact that it's set in Brum. Much of the time, people take the piss out of Birmingham and laugh at Brummie accents. The accents aren't very close. Some people have said it's in accurate, and that some of the characters would have had much stronger accents. I disagree, having gone to the school that the female characters go to (the one with the hats!) my accent changed and it is very different to my sister's accent. Mind you, the parents who would have had the strong accents....well maybe they had to be less strong, a strong accent an be hard to understand.

It's very strange watching it, as my own period at that school was the late 80's, but even then at 16 i was an avid reader of the NME, no Barbarella's now, but me and my friends would go to places like Edwards and Mosely for gigs. I didn't get a school bus, but the bus stop at the bottom of the road to go into town was always packed out with boys and girls from the two schools.

Thank you to Keef for leaving a comment, i love my readers! I am slightly more cheerful. I was quite distressed on Monday. I am trying to be proactive. I signed up again with dating direct, but i'm really running out of ideas and places to meet blokes.

I have given up chocolate and crisps for lent. They are doing me no good, and will certainly be a challenge.
