You see I'm working on developing a sort of befuddled High Court judge persona, a "Who is this Gazza Gascoigne?" kind of image and I'm getting quite good at it.
This weeks favourites are:
frowning at the word "texted" and ostentatiosly flipping through my pocket dictionary before questioning whether it's a verb
and saying "I pod, I pod, no, I'm frightfully sorry, you did what?" Whenever anybody talks about their latest mobile music thingy.
I know it's pointless and pathetic but we all need a hobby.
I've hated the word plane when referring to a gentleman's aerial conveyance since I was a boy of fourteen but the high court judge thing is a little more recent. I'm planning to be hideously behind the times until I'm 93, at which point I'll get frighteningly hip and trendy.
