Marry me?
Hmm, that is definitely interesting 
. And that's why I took the money off the bill- it worked out better for longer, though I really could have done with the cash due to the Opal situation. I just wish people were competent. How hard is it to get something sorted?!
At the moment, I have no complaints with Phones 4 U- they have tried to get things sorted.
We shall see if I get the promised phone call though.
In a way, I wish I'd stuck with that HTC Desire from Dial-a-Phone, but NatWest were being d*ckish with not sorting out my change of address in time.

I got a random hug off a woman in the street because I was crying. (In theory, this would be good, but I don't like being touched by strangers
)
It'll be sorted when my mum can get a job that doesn't treat her like sh*t
I want Alice to have a good day, where no one f*cks her about and she ends it smiling.

The fact I've gorged on 6 and a half years of Walking dead comics in under a week, meaning I'm now caught up and on the monthly release cycle. I p*ssed off when I caught up with the release ccyle for Warren Ellis' [url=www.freakangels.com]FreakAngels[/url] in two nights a few weeks ago.
Already re-read Scott Pilgrim again, the other series I'm keeping up with have no new releases and haven't for a good few months worryingly. Text books aside and the few books I own I've not read yet I have f*ck all to read at the moment and really can't afford to get into another serial, since what I'm reading is cutting deeper into my budget than I anticipated. GRRR!

Because cake is happiness
Some f*cking c*nt drilled a hole in the padlock on our gate whilst we were on holiday 
They didn't get it to unlock but I'm still fuming.
Also yesterday a dog sanctuary place were collecting money at the entrance of Tesco and I put some money in the lady's pot (admittedly only a quid cos I only had euros and cents other than that) and she didn't acknowledge me at all, she didn't even look at me. It was really weird. I don't expect such a minor donation to be of much help but still you'd think she'd at least say hello or something!

That's sh** about the dog sanctuary woman; she could've at least said Thank you.

I donated when I was going into a shop, I came out of the shop seconds after and she asked me for more money...
Pff.

Like the other day, getting the train from Victoria to Newton on the way home. The conductor asked for my ticket, so I showed it him, we stopped at Eccles about 2 minutes later and he did another tour of the train at which point he asked me again. I hadn't shifted position or taken off my jacket.. It was literally no more than five minutes.
I equate it to going into a bar and waiting only to have someone served ahead of me who showed up a while after I did.
It's doubly annoying because of the fact that the last time I worked bar I made a point of memorising the order people came to the bar and working in that exact order. It really isn't that hard to take a second to make a mental note of who you have dealt with and who you haven't, or who has been waiting longest. Even in the busiest of bars this is possible with some thought.

Grammatical errors on posters.
Debenhams' one where it states "bra's" is irritating enough, but it does make me giggle as I want to know what the bra is owning.
But at work, there's a great big PowerPoint display behind me advertising "Panini's" (it's not bad enough that "panini" itself is a plural, they add an "s" and apostrophise it)...
We have posters that have been created by staff. This is the poster text (in Comic Sans, naturally):
"Its that time of year again
Yes folks its book club!"
Big text. LARGE TEXT. SUPERSIZED, VISIBLE TO VISUALLY IMPAIRED TEXT.
So I went around and drew apostrophes in the appropriate places.
It's a f*cking poster. Grammar check it prior to printing, please.
In this eyeroll (it is more of an
than a rant, I suppose), I should note that head office sent a health and safety booklet round to us all about "Suspitious divices".

The logo is annoying and stupid and I don't like it because it won't let me play any mars volta. Also it won't accept my card details so I can't download any apps.

As for deleting stuff, are you sure it was iTunes, James? You should know as well as anyone the odds of this..
Also, for the icons and the annoying but pretty washed out colours, I used this to put it back how it all should be.

Yeah, why isn't this as successful as Facebook
And Paula- this is why you bring your own sets of tissues. The only time I've been out with people and they've come looking for me (for whatever reason), they've been VRers.
No-one else mops up your tears.
Face it, we're mid to late 20's now. People our age OWN advertising agencies. At least the cool ones. Christ I'm 2 months older than Mark Zuckerberg...
