Holy cow, Batman! I can't believe it's Satirday already. What a goddam hectic week it's been. I love it!
The other day I was a little grumpy, yes. Actually, not really grumpy but more of a hyper-stressed angry type, like a proper stockbroker should be. Buy Sell Buy Sell! Ohhhhh yes
The trouble is, I felt obliged to take my stressy-anger out on an unsuspecting chick at the perfume counter at Boots. Y'see, they have a bijou Mens section at the back of the first floor and for the next couple of weeks they are doing a special promo on bloke's bits n' pieces, kinda of a encouragement to blokes to smarten themselves up for the ladies, that sort of thing.
Anyway, the offer is Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price and the entire section is adourned with big red banners and advertising boards. So, off I trundles to the shaving section, picked up four packets of razor blades (which are NEVER on special offer, EVER) and presented myself at the checkout.
"Sorry, sir, those aren't on special offer"
Grrrr. Not the words I wanted to hear......
For the sake of keeping this journal quite short I won't run through word for word what happened next. Suffice to say I managed to ruin somebody's day, pissed off the Manager immensely and left the shop with a complimentary 6 packet of razor blades. The Lord Chief Justice would have been proud of me!
It's Easter next week! I don't know what the relationship is between Jesus coming out of a cave and chocolate rabbits (or, indeed, the fact that rabbits don't lay eggs) but it makes for a long weekend so I am happy.
Speaking of chocolate......... Green & Black's 70% Cocoa rocks like no other bar of chocolate in the whole world. 70%!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell yeh! It only marginally beats their milk chocolate with ginger but it beats it never the less. It is just sooooooooo chocolatey *drool*
Perhaps that's why I am covered in spots at the moment
HAPPY EASTER EVERY ONE!!

i still can't prove this. but damn i love chocolate!
Jesus nicked easter from the pagan spring festivities so that the pagans would remember when to celebrate/mourn/starve or whatever even if they were doing it for rather different reasons. May poles are so godamnned kinky!
