Field report

What can I say?

Lessons learnt:

1) Some people really do fit the stereotypes of Englishmen abroad
2) I will never, ever be able to sit in a sofa with my arms stretched out along the back
3) I will never be able to hear Jean Pauls "Get Busy" again without associative memory kicking in (for those who don't listen to chart RnB much it's the song that goes "Shake that thing Miss Kana Kana Shake that thing Miss Annabella Shake that thing yan Donna Donna")
4) Just like a Mogwai, never, ever allow "John" to drink after 12. He turns into a gremlin.

To 99% of people the above will not make too much sense. To the unlucky 1%......

BTW - Kanga has an amazing ability to reverse engineer facts. She took my reaction to the field trip, and reverse engineered two possible causes: i.e. she worked out that there were only two things that someone could do, in my presence, to get that reaction. Congratulations Kanga!

W's hypothesis... drunk Englishman, named John, in a pub, gyrates to whatever music, infront of you, sitting on a sofa, thinks you're a girlie and offers a lapdance. Uh...
