That creative streak

Catching the tube home late in the evening is always amusing. Invariably many people are on there way home from an evening that has involved alcohol. So most carriages have some kind of dirty old man / sad pathetic loser, trying to chat up the nearest female. Most of the time the ladies are good natured about it and are pleasant in return. It is amusing though to observe the inebriated man oblivious to the woman squirming in excruciating awkwardness.

Last night I boarded the train and found myself overhearing such an exchange. There were two ladies in question and they appeared to be involved in the fashion industry in some way (although definitely not as models.) So these two ladies were suffering some Billy Mitchell look-alike and appeared to be talking about the creative side of the industry. This guy says: “I’d like to be creative, but I don’t have a creative streak in me.” Nice one dude!
So it got me thinking, I’d like to be a movie star; but I can’t act.
Or maybe a rock star; but I can't sing.
Or even design an inter-galactic spacecraft; but I don’t have a creative streak in me.


Moving on..........

The man in football with the best name: Bayern Munich player Sebastian Schweinsteiger. In German it means Pig Climber, must have been hell in the school yard.
Second Prize goes to PSV's Jan Vennegor of Hesselink. Damn that's a cool name
