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?

I pretended to be northernI was trying to meet Jarvis Cocker outside one of his gigs (seemed like a good idea at the time, I was drunk and carrying around a small clay model of my own head) - and since I was in Argentina the Brits tended to group together. Everyone else there was from Scarborough, Rotherham or Sheffield, so I said I was from Doncaster, which is true - I was born in Doncaster (we lived in the street where Open All Hours filmed exteriors, or so my parents tell me) but we moved to the Midlands when I was one year old, so I don't have a northern accent.
Didn't stop me trying, though. Makes me cringe just thinking about it, but I will note that it worked...I got to meet Jarvis and an invite back to his hotel for the afterparty :)
