It's almost 11 weeks since the store's been open.
At the very begging, in our induction in fact, our soon-to-be managers and team leaders spoke to us all about certain store morals and guidlines in which we needed to follow. Now, the rules were put in place so the customers could see we are ready for work and ready to serve. E.g. Clean uniform, no phones on the shop floor and no stubble. 10 weeks in and it's all forgotten. Even one of the check out ladies has a moustache!
Originally, a 'rumble' would have taken place 2 times a day, 12 times a week. (Excluding Sundays)
The shop would be lucky if we did it twice a month.
Maybe I'm having a moan, maybe what I'm sayings right...
...I hope my manager dosen't have a blogspot account...

Insurance Company or Steriotypical What Nots...?
Insurance Company or Steriotypical What Nots...?
...You Decide For Yourself...
Right, I havn't posted anything in the last like 3 days, so technically I'm neglecting my blog. So, in good fashion, I'll blog about somthing that has annoyed me beyond words ~
#INSURANCE COMPANIES#
Now as you may have already read from my previous blog (Suicide Pigeons) I own a Rover 25, 1.4L petrol injection engine, which on September 2009, set me back £2,400 for my fully comp insurance. Now I didn't mind that it cost that much because I didn't have to pay it; my parents did as a birthday gift.
Now it's almost September 2010 and I'm going to have to buy a new years insurance for the car. I went onto GoCompare.com and Admril.com and STILL they're trying to charge me £8000!!! FOR ONE YEARS INSURANCE! JUST BECAUSE I'M SEVENTEEN!!!
My girlfriend, Stephanie, will hopfully be passing her test in September time/October time, so she'll be buying some much loved car insurance as well. I went back onto GoCompare.com and typed in all of her details for a Ford KA, 1.3L petrol engine, and do you know how much they charging her fully comprehensive insurnace at? £804 ONLY!!! BECAUSE SHE'S FEMALE!!!
...I think a much need sex change is in order...
So, I thought to myself, if a Ford KA will be a cheaper insurance cost than a Rover 25, I should just get insured on her car, no? No! It will still bump it up to about £2,400!
I re-ask you:
Insurance Company or Steriotypical What Nots...?
Steriotypical what nots!

How Can You Say It's Too Hot?!?
HoW CaN YoU SaY It's ToO HoT?!?
The general public, and by general public I mean Great Britan, are quite hypocritical when it comes to the favoured topic of weather. - And I mean 'hypocritical' in the nicest way possible, noting I'm British'
Come in to my time machine, and let me take you back to July 2008, or was it 2009? Or even June??? Anyway, my point is, when the floods hit town and everybodies houses got flooded by sewage and rain water, we were ALL wishing for sunshine, ice-creams and beaches! As well as new furniture and appliances.
Then come December/January time, still no sun, but snow! We we're all gob-smacked that we've all been 'blessed' with snooooow. 4 days later we were bored shitless of it and, the wait for heat went on...
Now, when we eventually recieved the miracle of sun (about 20 degress or somthing) the radio waves were blurting out qoutes like these; Hottest day of the year! - Heart radio / Hosepipe bans coming our way? -Unknown, and ...since records began.
What I'm getting at is...
About June 14th/June 15th 2010, the sun shadowed over us!!! Reaching heat like non before and NOTHING was on the radio such as the above qoutes. To my knowledge, the only thing that got effected by the scorching heat was the rise in sales of ICE CUBES! And don't get me started on the sale of ice cubes, why - on - Earth would you BUY ice?!? You can MAKE it yourself at home! IT'S CONSTANTLY BEING PRODUCED IN YOUR FREZZER!!! - Plus, that £2.79 could by you like 3 and a half Calippo's!
That's my moaning over...
...I need some ice for my lemonade. I hope Tesco haven't ran out!
:D
The One I Love - Part 1
This blog entry will consist nothing more (and nothing less) than a few lines of deep, heart-worthy adjectives describing my Stephanie.
The soul reason why Stephanie is 'the one', is because we both know that if we ever did break up, noone else will take us. Our bickering, our teasing, our lies and betrayals, lay the foundations for our house which, inside, all snug and warm, are the true feelings which bleed.
Her skin is the walls which hold together all the heart ache and love which bursts at the seems.
Her eyes are the windows, they look out to new adventures as well as allowing people to look in on what is really behind the walls.
Not forgetting her mouth which is the door; with new things coming out all the time, it dosn't stay shut for long!
My Stephanie - Part 1
Suicide Pigeons
Roughly 4 weeks back, there's me, driving to work at 5:45am. Minding nothing else but my own business, singing to the radio and getting mind-set for work. AND OUT OF THE BLUE!
BANG!
Into the top right hand side of my reflective, non-scratched, windscreen flys a pigeon!
Now, okay, I can give in and say that the pigeon didn't set out his early morning to fly into a Rover 25. buuuut, from that day on until about 2 days previous, pigeons have had this magnetic pull to my car. They'd fly down and land in FRONT of the car and wait for me to stop. (Or if my days been busy, beep my horn)
I believe, NO, I know! Pigeons have it in for me...
...Pigeons, Pfft.

So, when I'm walking down the road and I see a pigeon, I walk up behind it, very slowly and shout BEEP BEEP!!!
...Pigeons, Pfft.

An Introduction To The Blogging World!
Writing a blog was a patient game for me.
I first wanted to start one quite a while back, but I didn't know what to write about, who would read it, and if I would carry on posting even when nothing 'interesting' happened, and THEN WHAT WOULD I WRITE?!?
Yesterday, I was Googling about; searching how to make a million pounds, as any other entrepreneurial young being would do in the last 10 minutes of their day. And I stubbled across a .blogspot account. I began to read... To my amazment, a blogging account isn't just where you write about your day, or about when you went to the shop and found they didn't have the type of ice-cream you'd wanted. No! It's where you can write anything about anything. Example, you've just finished watching a film and thought that the contra-zooming camera angles shot in Jaws by director, Steven Spielberg where totally superb, then you could just write a blog!
Well, my blogs are going to be just that. (Maybe a tad more interesting then a camera shot used in 1975) Pfft.
