Do we become our own stereotype.

i was gonna write something really good, but hit the back button on my browser.

So here's the gist

I dont fit stereotypes. Im a student, but dont drink and spend all my money. I am a biker but not a stereotypical one cos my bike is yellow (stereotype is black) and I am a cheerful and curtious rider (stereotype is that we all eat children for breakfast). I am a student of science, and i love it. But im not nerdy. I'd rather be out on my bike riding than indoors getting giddy on calculus. I am a geek though, as I get excited at the prospect of doing something involving thinking and solving a problem.

No one ever believes I'm a biker till they see me on the bike.

im 5' 8 less just under ten stone shaved head, goatie, hate getting up in the mornings, getting bored with my job and everything... and i mean everything twists my nips!

Surely you are very patronising as well? Otherwise, please do try harder

Your task for the .org for the week is to stop someone and say 'Who do we think we are sir, Stirling Moss?'

Patronising? I might be, but don't you worry about it mate, it's very complicated.

And further more, this is the modren Police service. Official guidlines state it is now

Yup

Me No damn idea. I've been and done too many different things to be stereotypical anything. I've gone from being supremely physically fit to a stone and a half over my ideal weight. I've gone from a high school drop out with no education, joined the army and got educated at the same time, left the army and did a multitude of different jobs and now work at middle management for BT in an office. Go figure, cause I can't.
