A blog post for blokes to read
On my way home from work today I was sitting opposite a women. Nothing very exciting or out of the ordinary there, but when I noticed what she was reading my brain switched on for the first time that day! She was reading a publication called 'Lingerie Buyer' for which the front cover assured me that it was; 'The Industries Essential Business Title'.
Think about this boys, imagine having a job where you get paid to read a publication like that!
This month’s edition contained informative articles on such subjects as:
- Why seamless products could take the UK by storm
- Harrogate Lingerie & Swimwear Exhibition
so it's not just all nice pictures. It's educational!
I wanted to break the "commuter law" (which states “No rush hour rail traveler may communicate with any other traveler unless he/she has seen the person in question everyday for 2 years and there is something very important to talk about such as the train being late again”) and ask her some questions about how to get into the industry. I wasn't thinking straight though and could only think of questions like:
"Do you ever tire of looking at picture of sexy women?"
"Are there any opportunities in your HR department?"
"Did you know that engineering and bra design have a lot more in common than most people would suspect."
"Can I read that"
In the end though I didn't say anything and just got off the train safe in the knowledge that should I ever get bored with my job that there was something else out there for me. I can dream!

It's TRAVELLER, dear. We haven't succomed to adopting Amercian (mis) spelling as standard yet.
You should have asked her what she thought this winter's hot styles are going to be and how big her knockers are. That'd started an interesting conversation...
Ps - just to keep you on your toes, spot the ironic mistake!
I have an international readership and I like to think that I cater for all foreign nationals in my spelling and a few extraterrestrials in my grammar.
You will note another demonstration of my Universal Law of Internet Correction; namely that it is impossible to correct a spelling or grammar error without making a similar error in the correction.
Look for it next time you read a forum , mailing list or newsgroup. It's true.
