I could hear every car driver that passed shout "I was right!" to their passenger...

    My sandals are nicer than those.

    Actually, I think those are nicer.

    My credit card is wearing thin.

    Also: vegetarianism? Why?

    The marinated Tofu you have there is pretty tasty!

    I see you have 2 packets, so you must be keen on the stuff........

    Not me! I ate steak tonight!

    I did have tofu once at the top of the Buddhist shrine on Lantau Island where the ever so scary statue is, now that was actually very nice indeed (apart from sitting there thinking that statue was going to stand up and go for me).

    I don't own any SPD sandals, but the other day I did walk up the drive in flips flops and socks. Does that count?

    Yeah, my white cycling socks. Put the flip flops on to walk over to the garage, where I keep my cycling shoes. I re-enforced another stereotype when my New Zealand neighbour caught me:-

    Englishman; white socks & sandals. They asked where my handkerchief was……

    nah...organic lesbians round these parts are no good. You need to use fertilizer and pesticides to get the really good ones.

    I don't think lesbians are all that keen on fertiliser.

    Anyway, today I transported home a variety of meat snacks on the back (aka fizzy cola bottle jelly sweets), it was going to be wire wool but Wilkinsons don't sell it any more for some reason.
