It's like buses, no?
You wait ages and two come along in quick succession.
I was just updating the 'about THE Collective' bit when I saw the '. . . and far to nice to be taken seriously'.
I'm not going to harp on about it, 'cause I did enough of that at the time (eh Michelle?), but recently I got turned down for a job because I was 'a jack of all trades' but showed no evidence I was 'a master of any of them', 'unable to instill the discipline required', 'far to casual in my dress, manner and approach' and, my favourite bit this and I quote here with no irony whatsoever, 'too nice'!
Too nice? Too nice? TOO BLOODY NICE?
I've been told I was too male, too fat, had hair that was too long and that I should shave as I was too hairy.
But 'too nice'?
I still bridle when I think of it, but a little bit of me has just realised that maybe, just maybe, that means that a certain head of a certain school near Kidderminster might just read this.
If so that neatly doubles my hits!
Oh, and 'up yours mate'.
Until next time.
