I hope there’s a Keith Prowse terminal at the end of the counter for them to look up the tickets on.
(does this mark me out as being an old man?)
highlights of my day today so far are:
- a self closing mechanism being fitted to our room’s door so we don’t have to keep closing it behind people coming in and out (there’s a sign saying to do this, no-one pays any attention)
- a lorry getting stuck and blocking the road outside, causing people to honk their horns constantly for at least ten minutes
might liven things up in a bit by shopping for a new microwave
I cannot WAIT to have a drink after work. Toughest day I’ve had here in ages.
someone told me once that putting on deodorant too much gives you cancer, so I stopped putting it on after every shower and the habit has stuck
Just don’t use ones full of chemicals. Lush do them, I don’t like those ones so much. I get a nice one from the can supermarket though. They don’t work as well as the chemicals of course but still pretty decent.

I’ve been going to gigs for a looooong time (since 1990) and I have no idea what this means…
PowerPoint. Kill me
Back in the late 80s / very early 90s, big branches of HMV (the ones near me, at least) would have a bit of their counter with an old style computer terminal, where you could go and buy tickets from Keith Prowse, who sold tickets to all the big London gigs. I’m fairly sure I bought some of my early Reading / Glastonbury tickets from them.
However, I’ve just done a search on the web, and can’t find any mention of them at all. Maybe I’m conflating Keith Prowse as a ticket seller, and the ticket terminals were another brand.
I’m sure I’ve used tranche in a professional setting.
I need to find that thread where I talked about thing being “within one’s gift” and bump it, as I heard this phrase again last Thursday.
might have a fish finger butty for dinner
sorry i’ve just realised that is anything but banal

Hmm, I did buy some concert tickets from HMV back in the day but don’t remember this at all. The TV worked for HMV in the 90s - I will see if she remembers these…

I feel like this with a lot of the applications I’ve reviewed. We ask something like “please explain why you’re suitable for the role, giving examples based on the person specification”. I’d expect enough examples to cover everything on the person spec but more often than not I get half a dozen lines of generic text about being a hard worker and a team player and blah
Evening
I’m at home already
I got a Charlie Bingham Mac and Cheese for 2 for tea - was heavily reduced in Waitrose
The Waitrose near my work has the most fantastic clearance section - there is always loads of good stuff in there. But the people who shop from it are total dicks. There are always 2 people stood in front of it, blocking it aggressively , so as to stop anyone else even seeing what is in there while they make their choices.And taking their sweet sweet time to do it
Just take 1 step back so everyone can look in, you don’t do this when you’re shopping in the yogurt section pricks

Big boss just collared me on a mistake I’ve been sitting on for about three years.
It’s not career-ending or anything, just really, really embarrassing.
Might look for a new job to save face.

they do your Bird’s Eyes but it’s 4 quid for 12 and that’s too rich for my blood, so I get the Tesco own (we have a Tesco!). Even then it’s quite expensive but fish fingers are the ultimate ‘there’s nothing else in, what’s in the freezer?’ dinner imo, so worth having.
Wish we had Potato Waffles here
Is there spanish fish fingers? Is Bird’s Eye named Iglo there too?
nope. we have fish fingers that you can deep fry and fuck all else.
