Yesterday, a rather stroppy character came into the station to get some property back. Policy is (and it was reiterated on our white board where the property details go), that ID must be shown in order for someone to claim their stuff back...............don't want to be giving it to the wrong person do we know? Anyway, after claiming that his ID was with his stuff (which it was), he then started telling me what items of clothing should be in his property. Chappy said there should be a black pair of trainers and a pair of jogging trousers. Only he did not use the words trainers or jogging bottoms/trousers, he used words that I now cannot remember, (though I think the word he used for trainers was kicks) and had no idea what they meant, so I had to ask him what they were in English!!!!!!
Then today, watching an old episode of Stargate SG-1 on Sky 2, up came an advert for 'The Glee Project' Now, I know that Glee is some American TV program that is rather popular, but other than that, I was in the dark. I asked hubby what is was about and he failed as he was unable to tell me. So I have now googled Glee and wonderful Wikipedia tells me that it is an American TV show about a Glee Club in an American High School. Wikipedia then tells me that Glee Clubs are basically singing clubs and the first one was at Harrow School in 1787, and that they were very popular in England until the 1850's when they were replaced by choral societies, but that the term remains in use in the US and Japan for what we call choirs. So, the TV program is about a school choir............I fail to understand the hype!!
