Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

It's never bothered meThis "run with the pack, fit into the herd, be the 103rd goose in our V formation" mentality.
I've always been different, and who I wanted to be - a loose cannon, if you want.
Never conform, never consort, never compromise has always been my motto.
So getting made redundant on January 14th came as a double blow. Not only is my illustrious career of being paid quite a lot to do quite a little under threat but I have to share this occasion with more than four thousand others.
Had Robert Peston popped up on the BBC news and said "It's been a fine day today in the UK economy with the singular exception of The Disappointed" I'd have been fine.
But no - four thousand. And on the day that Patrick McGooghan died too.
After years of fighting for my right to be me against a tsunami of dismal unimaginative proles just wanting to be like the next dismal unimaginative prole I've been plunged into the morass.
And I don't feel it's right to explain that I am not a number, I'm a free (thinking) man either.
Any jobs going? West/North Yorkshire (could do Colne Valley if brain transplant and charisma bypass offered), laid back, ultra-creative man can do pretty much anything except cooking? Will work for sex.

You'd best be more specific on what kind of sex you'd work for. :P

Err...yesYou're probably right.
I was thinking more along the lines of the cod-Germanic porn film scenario.
"Hey Mr. Disappointed - come and clean the windows of our naughty naked girls school, then sneak in through the window and..."
But a colourful life of heavy drinking, a pretty average appendage and a deeply ingrained terror of humiliation has made me a rather poor candidate for x-factor pornstar school.
And, Mr Musuko - I'm no bigot, my brother and several of my friends are of that ilk but...not your kind of sex.
However, if the money's right....
