Is your shopping being monitored?
The reason I ask this obscure question is because since the whole Orange Cream discovery, yes I am still talking about them, I was pondering the above question. Cause if they do they must be scratching their heads at my latest buying habits.
Day 1 - tomatoes, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, bananas and rocket salad.
Day 2 - 4 packets of orange creams.
I had entertained notions of not just getting orange creams so as not to appear that I’m only in it for the bikkes. I had thought I might walk towards the vegetable section to throw them off. Not let on my sole reason for going into the shop was to purchase n amount of packets of bikkies. Then I wondered if they were sitting their with their clipboards ticking various promotional items and thinking it worked a treat. I was going to walk towards the promo section and then saunter towards the frozen food section.
You know like you used to do it you wanted to rent a gay dvd or buy a gay mag? Well perhaps not you but I did it. I walk into Easons and pretend to be engrossed in the latest knitting patterns in Women’s Weekly whilst trying to slide the Diva mag underneath. Then run to the counter hoping no-one would notice. In the process of running you knock over 3 grannies who fall to the ground thereby bringing more attention to yourself. You’re stuck in a conumdrum now.
Do you risk people seeing what you’re buying by stopping to help the 3 grannies you knocked over or do you continue ala hit and run and hope for the best. Well you can’t really leave the grannies there, one of them looks like she has a dodgy hip and the other one looks like she’s not long for this planet. So you do what any decent person does and help them up. Of course they spy the mag and of all months this is the month they chose to have 2 naked women wrapped around themselves and a big heading in size 96 font with the word Lesbian Bed Death on it. This may or may not happen to you. In the event of the above happening I find its best to wink and saunter over to the counter smiling and bowing as you go. Remember to disattach the granny who accidently got her crutch attached to you in the whole melee. Its hard to look sauve with a granny stuck to your left arm.
The moral of the story? If you’re buying only 4 packets of bikkies throw in some shampoo as well to mess with the people who’s job it is to monitor your shopping habits.
The sun is back 
AND its Wedensday. I am still sore from heading back to training on Monday after the best part of a 3 week absense. My hamstring is pissed of at me, my obliques hate me. So I am returning again this evening. Apparently, and I have yet to see the evidence our sensei reckons when we train in this ’sweltering heat’ of 18 degress we find it much easier to train in the winter. I was going to point out that its not the training in the winter I have difficulty with, its the getting off the damn couch to get to the dojo that is the problem.
More good news:
SHE HAS been wanting to do it for years but, she says, having babies kept getting in the way.
After nearly two decades as one of the best-known television presenters in the country, Miriam O’Callaghan is finally going to present her first radio show.
The mother-of-eight will present Miriam Meets . . . on Saturday mornings at 9.10am on RTÉ Radio 1.
Okay so I can’t gaze on her lovely visage but still more Miriam can only be considered a good thing. This week just keeps getting better
