The interview
It all went beautifully: nice people, good job and a few challanges for
yours truly. I have to attend a second round interview on Wednesday
morning but it is all looking very positive indeed. They called my
agency as soon as I left and said “I blew their socks off.”
The area
I don’t know this part of London/Middlesex at all. All I can say is
that everyone looks like they married their sisters. The ideal
accessories for a young Hounslow lady is, apparently, a pram and a fag.
Call me an urbanite and a snob (for I am both) but one feels that
Starbucks will never make it out here.

Ta Dom. I’m round your way again tomorrow looking at flats. Fingers crossed, new flat and a new job!
I wonder where that phrase does come from? I’m sure some erudite 20Sixer knows.

I had no idea that Starbucks was the ultimate sign of urban sophistication. Wimpy, surely.
The Bluetones’ Mark and Scott Morriss mis-spent their youths in Hounslow. That is all anyone knows about the place.

Prams and fags are the new Gucci, darling.
I bet you’ll see Gwyneth pushing ‘Apple’ around in a spawnmobile, fag stuck to her bottom lip, shopping bags a-dangling from the pram’s handles, wearing a tracksuit and scratching her arse. It’s all very glamorous.
And if you blew their socks off today may you explode their entire underwear drawer on Wednesday!

“The phrase first appeared in the mid-19th century meaning ‘to beat or vanquish someone thoroughly,’ at first used literally to mean to win in a knock-down fistfight so savage that the loser might expect not to only lose his shoes in the fracas but his socks as well.”
Good old Word Detective to the rescue. Again.

>> one feels that Starbucks will never make it out here.
So, there’s a good side to it then? I didn’t know Hounslow was in Middlesex … so appropriate one feels

Well done! Fingers and toes crossed for Wednesday!
Hounslow isn’t that far from Staines is it? And it’s in spitting distance of Heathrow (so to speak).

Go you! And just think, if you decide to take the job then you can set about spreading some of that Bobble class and style.
