Typical Workplace Conversation
The ignorance of some of my customers is astounding.
Today a customer asked me;
"Excuse me pal, how do I get to Liverpool?"
"Is that the city of Liverpool, or London Liverpool Street station?"
"Liverpool itself."
"O.K, go out that exit, turn left and walk to the mainline station."
"Ta pal."
Ten minutes later.
"S'cuse me, you're out of order. You gave me the wrong information!"
"Sorry?"
"I want to to go Liverpool Street to catch my train to Cambridge!"
"That's not what you said earlier."
"Yes it is."
"If you say so mate."
"I'm gonna write to complain!"
"I'd give you the address, but you'll probably write it wrong on the envelope anyway."
Don't get me wrong, I know we deserve stick sometimes, but when you approach us and we seem grumpy, isn't it possible that we've just dealt with complete spastic like this?

The Sheer Elation!
My iPod was well and truly fucked, so they've sent me a brand spanking new one.

Friday Night, Monday Morning

I guess for London Underground employees, this would be Thursday Night, Tuesday Afternoon!

I hope I'm not up the duff.

Tuesday 20th November 2007
01:00- Fell into bed after my seventh and final late shift.
05:45- Woken up by an alarm set by the missus.
06:30- It's clear that sleep is refusing to overcome me again so I get up.
07:30- Watch a film.
09:30- Phone call from British Gas "I'll be there in about thirty minutes"
09:50- British Gas man arrives. He's american, my least favourite race of people. He won't shut up, I'm not even in the same room but he's talking to himself. Power switched off.
13:45- British Gas man leaves. I still can't go anywhere, waiting for deliveries and another gas man. At least the power is back on.
14:50- Ikea delivery. Still can't go anywhere, waiting for a UPS delivery and another gas man.
15:25- Another British Gas man comes to put a new seal on the meter to make sure that we can't fiddle them. It's ironic really, 'cos they've been fiddling us for years! Still can't go anywhere, waiting for a UPS delivery.
17:10- UPS delivery.
17:20- Tesco's.
17:55- Start cooking dinner for my dad and myself. Toad in the hole.
18:45- Eat dinner.
19:05- Take the car to the station for the missus.
19:20- Finally have time to myself and I'm completely shattered.
*All times are approximate.

Piss Taker
That's my missus.
And I don't mean that we're into golden showers either!
Hmm, although....... no, better leave it!
She's basically taken my rest day tomorrow and thrown it out the window.
We have British Gas (if and when they turn up) coming to change the fuse box, a delivery from Ikea (depends if they're on swedish or english time) and I've got to wait for a parcel from UPS.
Where's my quality time?
I'd planned to kick some arse on PS3's Resistance; Fall Of Man and Wii's Metroid Prime, as well as going shopping and knocking around on the 'net. I may also have found time for a tug on my old fella.
Not only is all that out the window, she's also told me that I'm gonna be homeless on the 15th December as she's planned a girly night in with a friend.
"You need to arrange to stay with a relative" she said.
So, in summary, I'm stuck indoors all day tomorrow and I'll be staying at your gaff on the 15th December.

Typical Workplace Conversation
While covering a meal break on the the gateline, a foreign gentleman approaches me.
"Excuse me sir, the gate kept my ticket."
"It must've been a single ticket, they're retained by the gates."
"Oh, but I needed it for a receipt."
"O.K, I should be able to get your ticket from inside the gate."
"Thank you."
I go over to the automatic gate.
"Where have you just travelled from?"
"The Netherlands."
"Excuse me sir, the gate kept my ticket."

I Hate My Life (And Yours)
Last month it was my PS3, now it's my poxy iPod. The screen just stays white. I can hear the music if I press buttons randomly, but I can't choose what I want to listen to. I've tried everything, but alas, it will need to go for a service.
Cocking hell!
Also, the missus decided to use a bollard to help turn the car around a corner this evening. As a result, we now have an unsightly dent in the drivers side door.
Cunting hell!
Plus I'm on late shifts.
Finally, I'm down to my last beer.
I'm ready to lash out at the next person I see. If it turns out to be you, then please don't take it personally.
I will apologise as soon as all the tubes have been removed from your body and your jaw has been un-wired.

Quality Film Quote 23
Soldier: Who goes there?
King Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
Soldier: Pull the other one!
King Arthur: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
Soldier: What? Ridden on a horse?
King Arthur: Yes!
Soldier: You're using coconuts!
King Arthur: What?
Soldier: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
Soldier: Where'd you get the coconuts?
King Arthur: We found them.
Soldier: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
King Arthur: What do you mean?
Soldier: Well, this is a temperate zone.
King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
Soldier: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
Soldier: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
Soldier: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
Soldier: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
King Arthur: Please!
Soldier: Am I right?

Bra Shopping
Busy Weekend
Sorry about the lack of updates this weekend, we've had a lot to do.
On friday we went with some friends to a comedy show on the Tattershall Castle on the River Thames. Plenty of beer and a good laugh was had.
Saturday night we went out for a meal and drinks with some friends in Watford. Plenty of beer and food was had.
On sunday we went picture shopping had dinner with my mum's. No pictures were bought, but through the day, plenty of beer was had.
Today, we took the car for it's M.O.T in London. On the way back we went into Brent Cross for a bit of shopping and a bite to eat. All you can eat pizza buffet for £4.99. The waitress gave me the "I think you've had enough" look after my fourth trip.
So that was that really, I'm back on glorious late shifts from tomorrow.

Fighting Talk
I'm going to have a rather stern discussion with my neighbour today.
The same one who thought it was o.k to have her roof repaired until 7:30 pm at night.
Apparently, she also believes that it's fair to play classical music loudly until 11:30 pm, despite being well aware that the missus and myself do shift work.
As a result, I've had four hours sleep and am in the foulest of foul fucking moods.
