WOO-HOO!!!!
I know there is a "I feckin hate..." section, but sadly there is no a "I love..." section, cos if there was I would be adding the dumb ass sales assistant at HMV today.
Had £70 in gift vouchers to spend, so I got 2 Blu-ray films and BATMAN ark asylum for the PS3. After trying me to sell me some reward card scheme called "Pure" (which I agreed to), all whilst scanning my purchases he told me the total cost of my purchase. I was surprised to hear him tell me the final total, which I expected to be just over the £70 mark..... WRONG!!!.
Turns out that while trying to talk me into the reward card, he had confused himself so much that he forgot to charge me for the PS3 game which was around the £45 region. So I effectively got it for free and still have about £25 left on my reward card.... RESULT!!!!
My conscience did try to make me go back to the shop and point out the mistake, but then my common sense stepped in and kicked the shit outta my conscience which stopped that.

I told Harry on the blower earlier that for me, it gave me no health benefits as far as i could see...i was fitter smoking 80 a day than i've ever been since packing in...
But then it was also the same time of going on to loads of meds for life so that probably cancelled out the benefits...
And he also said i have to be the fuckin exception to the rule....

Had fun with the grandson this morning ( well the mrs did ) on the way to school..he was behaving perfectly whilst having breakfast, getting ready for school and walking half way there, then, like the flick of a lightswitch, his other self appeared, the one you cant do fuck all with, the one everyone in the street stares at....
So she takes him in see the headmistress before even taking him to his class, the head gives hkim a lecture and says he's heading for a naughty book ( record of behaviour ),
she pauses after and asks him, "do you really want a naughty book"?
He shrugs and says "yeah"..
5 years fuckin old he is...

Morning all
Can't comment on the naughty kids situation, mine are pure angels ... if you forget about the spitting, slapping, nipping, kicking, punching, scrathing, screaming ... and that's just what they do to themselves
Just after Meg started nursery she began swearing around the house and got in some REAL trouble for it.
"Who did that Megan?" "That facker did it!"
"Facker, facker, facker ... fack!"
"Who taught you that Megan?" "Some facker"
"Do you want this for your dinner Megan?" "No, this facker doesn't like it"
Is was only till a couple of weeks later, when I was picking her up from nursery ... I heard one of the staff shout to another little girl "Facker, Facker ... come here Facker"
I've never felt so guilty ... but seriously, who calls ther kid Facker??
