So last night I went to tea at Michella's cousin Sharna and her husband Dave's house. After a delicious meal of roast chicken we settled down to a game of "Battle of the Sexes". For those who might not know about the game (like me before last night), it involves teams split by gender being asked general knowledge questions skewed towards the interests of the other sex.
For example, Michella, her sister Rhianna and Sharna got questions about lathes and Rugby Union, while Dave and I got questions about sewing and cosmetics. And the Spice Girls.
We were asked to name all of the Spice Girls, and I took up the challenge . . . and surprisingly I managed to name all five. The names came slowly at first, but as I rattled them off one after the other the impressed gasps turned to laughter. It was an exhilarating and then slightly awkward moment, as I could see the "We're so breaking up after this" look in Michella's eyes.
I actually have no idea at what point I learned the names of the Spice Girls. And obviously it worries me a little that the information is still hanging around in my head. At least I was able to make use of it, if only to amuse my friends.
