went to a thing at the NEC today and my mates nan kid flatmate wanted to come and although he is a nan kid, he is funny to have around. he's like a pet, like our own karl pilkington. you can just ask questions and he'll answer in the most stereotypical nan kid way, its brilliant. he is more middle/upper class nan kid though, not smelly window licker nan kid.
Work with a 38 year old nan kid. He's alright, we sit on the same desk, occasionally go for drinks after work - he's funny, sometimes your laughing at him but its all the same. Yeah I think its refreshing when you meet socially aware nan kids. Something about the droll, obtuse quality that piques laughter. A few examples, not sure if the first one is nan kidian but its
-regularly falls asleep at his desk, its so obvious (often looks around as he falls asleep) then asks 30 seconds later "how long was i out for"?
- says thinks like 'hip to the jive', and 'later dudes'
- wears velcro shoes, schoolboy grey pants and light purple shirts
- spends his holiday sorting his vinyl collection into alphabetical order
Surely the activity of collecting and sorting stuff like aircraft models, trainsets etc in a compulsive way is nan kid all over. Vinyl's not so different. The guys 38 - he's past the stage of pokemon stickers.
