Yes. You've guessed it. I have once again been told I am not cool.
Why? I was round at my Mum's having some dinner when in walks my 18 year old, Urban Outfitters clad, Koko going brother.
Josh: "Jules, Jules. Have you seen Spaced?"
Me: "Erm" (Shifts eyes nervously look to look at Mum) "What's Spaced?"
Josh: "You know. Simon Pegg and Mike Heap."
Me: Shifts more nervously in chair. Looking at Mum for reassurance. "Erm ... who?"
Josh: "Hot Fuzz?"
Me: "Yes, yes. I definitely know that."
Mum: "No you don't. I can tell by your reaction."
Me: "Yes I do."
Mum: "What is it then?"
Me: "A band. Josh had them written on his school bag.
Josh: "Wrong answer. That was Fuzz. The name of the band I was once in. What about Shaun of the Dead, do you know that?"
Me: Almost hysterical with excitement. "Yes, yes. I have seen that. It's a zombie film."
Josh and Mum: (In stereo). "Jules, you are such a geek."
So its official. Even my brother thinks I am sad.
What's worse is that he thinks my green tea drinking, karate chopping, high waisted trouser wearing step father is cooler than me. I don't remember him being the one who has been to Reading festival!
That's the last time I get the f***er some work experience at the BBC!

I love your blog!! I am a decade older than you but it makes no difference. Likes,dislikes,what makes you laugh/cry/cross etc.has nothing to do with age,it's about who you are,not how old.
Your blog is new, as is mine but you obviously know your way around blogland a lot better than I do.
I'm always being told I'm not cool by my eldest son but all the stuff he thinks is cool,I was doing years ago and still do but it doesn't count because I'm his Mum and I'm old!
