on matters of dry cleaning

[rm]

While debating with Patty if I should get my dress shirts done here where it's expensive and I don't speak the language or wait until Cardiff; she said she was not sure if Cardiff had dry cleaning, being Cardiff (clarification: 1. Patty doesn't use dry-cleaning and so hasn't noticed any. 2. We're from New York, and yes, we can be assholes about any city that is smaller than ours, which is most. This is probably shitty, but was not meant as any particular dig at Cardiff or Wales).

And then I said, "Ianto Jones owned too many fabulous fucking suits for there not to be fucking dry cleaning in fucking Cardiff."

Which, you know, didn't seem absurd until it came out of my mouth.

Of course. Patty doesn't use dry cleaning though (it is an evil I foist upon some of her garments), so she wouldn't have noticed one to tell me how the rates compared to Switzerland, and she said she hadn't seen any. So I replied with the first random thing that popped into my head.

It will be cheaper in Cardiff than in Zurich. One can live cheaply in Zurich, and I'm sure if I'd done my PhD there I'd have found out how very quickly, but it's much easier to live cheaply in Cardiff.
