About Us: What we think of each other...

So we've been toying with the idea of an 'About Us' section for a while. Unfortunately whenever we tried to describe ourselves in writing it always sounded pretentious (Tom) or boring (Fia). Therefore we decided to write humorous descriptions of each other instead!

Fia according to Tom:

Fia - short for Sofia, but apparently that's two letters too many - is from Woking near London (even though she sounds a lot like she's from Essex). She's Italian but always specifies that she's from Sicily. No, I don't know the difference either. Her interests are: Art (painting, drawing, designing, anything really), cooking, nails, bitching, going out, shopping, making me do stuff and fashion. And to be fair, she's pretty good at all of them.

Like all the best people, she's studying French and Spanish at the University of Bath. She doesn't really know why, as all she actually wants to do is paint and open a tea room/cake shop and you obviously don't need a degree for that. Still, if she wasn't studying languages then she would probably have never come to live in Paris and then where would we be? Blogless, I tell you, blogless.

Earl Grey tea. Fia brews it regularly. 
Moses probably didn't.

She has one good(ish) joke which she tells everyone. To save her the trouble and time, here it is:

How does Moses make his tea?

Hebrews it.

Hilarious. I've tried telling her Moses probably never had tea, but she doesn't seem to care...

Lastly, and I'd better put this or she'll kill me (so consider it a sort of self-preserving disclaimer, if you will), she's (mostly) intelligent, (occasionally) funny and very sweet (when she wants to be).

For an Essex girl that i-

Tom According to Fia:

Tom Ash, wittily nicknamed ‘Tash,’ is originally from Leamington Spa and having attended an All Boy’s School all his life, Tom still hasn’t quite adjusted to the novelty of having females around, and still thinks it’s okay to make inappropriate jokes about boobs –usually the boobs of the girl he’s talking to. 

Nowadays he spends the majority of the year at Bath, and his holidays with his family in Brittany – trying out his charms on Breton girls. Tom’s main interests and activities revolve around fencing and polishing his sword but he also enjoys being awkward and singing along to his complete Classic Disney Songs albums on Itunes. 

Italian Olympic fencing champion, Matteo Tagliariol.
Tom's totally better than this guy.

Tom aims high in life, he works hard at Bath University, where he studies French, Spanish & European Studies and was last year’s Fencing Club Chair. Tom’s other interests include cooking and baking brownies that taste like a party in your mouth, alongside being the ultimate dancing/fending-off-creepy-dance-floor-guys dancer when we go out. 

It’s fair to say that ideally he’d like to be Prime Minister one day – potentially the next Silvio Berlusconi…but taller and less greasy –but he’ll probably reside his days living abroad (France or Spain would make sense), being posh, fine dining and drinking himself into a cultured, alcohol-induced oblivion, surrounded by his many offspring and his hopefully 9/10 wife.
