Not globe-trotters, but....
...anyone who has been 'around the world' and recounts thier tales with the expectation that I'll somehow be suprised at their experiences
"Ohh I once spent 2 weeks with the Gouranga people of the Serengeti and they were offended when I ate with my left hand, becuase that's just rude over there, because they wipe thier arses with their left hand, don't you know"
I don't mind people who have used world travel to develop as a person, but I'm less than a days travel to multiple languages and cultures* - why should I be suprised that people that live 10 times farther away have even more diverse views on things?
Just f8ck off basically.
*actually less than a bus ticket down town, given that I live in 'Little Scotland'. Bonus nothing to anyone who writes in with the name of my town.

» Mistaken Identity
Identity! Identity! They've all mistaken my identity!
I've often been ribbed* for looking a bit like John Inman or Kenneth Williams.
Doesn't happen so much now that I tip the scales at 14 stone. Mmmmmm pies.
*i.e. been subjected to a drunken social worker screeching "Ooooh maaaaatron!!" into my ear at any opportunity
