Bloody surveys

Those facebook things. That are applications .. but not maybe they are games.. maybe quiz maybe something in the middle... a quizy game, like what I assume farmville is.

I must have the best part of 100 blocked.

Looking through and picking ones at random -

"What Tim Burton Character are you?"

"Which Dave Matthews Band song are you"

"Find Your exact age"

"how well do you know Stoke"

"I bet i can find out your favorite color in 7 questions"

I have two .... TWO "which harry potter character are you?"


What is my issue with them?

Well I will tell you, I don't want to be getting rid of them
Every

Three

Seconds

I don't have any want or need to know any of the above .. and why should I ?

I Don't want my feed being filled with "Sorority Life" or "what Shakespeare Character are you?" Do I look like someone who cares what your results were in a pot like questionnaire ... if I have the undieing urge to know such things I will ask..

"Say friend who I dont speak to much but you are on my facebook, "what do your eyes say"" < what does that even mean ? ?

Wet Look leggings

Now if you have seen the blog below about jeggings I did mention the hell that is "wet look" leggings.

Now WHY

logic dictates wet clothes are not cool, and a warning to others.

Either its very wet outside - the warning there is that you would be aware of the precipitation and should take precautions.

The other warning is that there is some one hiding round the corner to spray water on you.

Now my good friend Steve was looking up jeggings after my wee rant and discovered that "wet look" items are actually originally designed for the fetish community. Which I can believe just look below you tell me the difference.





Why just WHY ? I am sure about 5 people can pull them off.. like jeggings its going to show off your flab, but its also going to attract looks.

I think 2 looks.
WTF
and
OMG she looks horrible in those with those legs.

I say "she" I saw some pictures that were with guys wearing them. This is just as wrong. It's like having a glitterball that crushes and presents your package to the public.

There is a page on blogspot that is PRO this.. Now I can but hope as it has not been updated since 2 months ago, it is a item that will soon disappear.

Let us all pray

Waitrose oh PLEASE I would have thought you would be better

I have just been shopping at the local Waitrose and shock horror I was confronted by Christmas.

I believe it is 85 days when writing this until "the big day" and you are selling Christmas stock.

Now another supermarket has witnessed an email much like this, but to be honest they were BAD and had things out over 100 days before "the event". I do however have to give you praise that you have not put Christmas stock out in our faces (see the orange supermarket for details), and also you do have only a small amount of items not a huge aisle or two.

But seriously why do you have items out before at least early November? We have 2 "events" prior to Christmas which require shelf space yet I don't see anything for them yet.

I would have though that a high class store such as your self would be a little restrained.

Want A Flat?

So trying to get a flat. how easy is it ?

Well remember we live down south unlike those plucky northerners who earn my wage but can have a mansion for the price of a fish finger and a half eaten sausage*

so it comes down to, "in order to rent you must earn (here comes the maths) 30x1monthrent=annual salary"

Now say I work min wage @ 5.80 a hour x 37hours a week x 48weeks a year that makes 10,300 a year.

Now if you work the top equation backwards you can rent a place for £343 a month.

HANDS UP WHO KNOWS OF A PLACE SOUTH OF GLOUCESTER THAT IS FOR £343 A MONTH?

No really I'm sure even the very seedy areas of London town are more. I'm sure the squatters of London town spend more on food and things.

I would also point out that £343 a month is also what you have to live on. 110 council tax that makes 233 to pay for electricity, phone, water, maybe the internet a car/transport. That is all before food.

I really do feel for those on min wage you cant live on it. if there was 2 of you maybe you would be ok JUST be seriously.


SO we are looking at a flat I earn aparently 3k too short. Not ALOT but .. enough. My girlfriend makes money from being a student and things that covers it. YAY

NO .. STOP ... DON'T BE SILLY shes foreign and a student.
Students money does NOT count,
Foreign work money does NOT count yes even if you have letters, emails, phone numbers, faxes, pagers, fucking semaphore or Morse code contact with them. does NOT count. Why .. because it just doesn't.


----

So screw you anyone trying to rent, screw you anyone trying to move.

and screw you those poor bastards on minimum wage who cant afford to have a place to call home and survive.




*no offence meant to those any where north of Gloucester

+ I don't know EXACTLY how close all these figures are but they are fairly close I think.

+ We are moving soon ... know doubt that will bring a new fresh hell.

Megaphones

I have serisouly considered buying a megaphone to show my view to passers by in shops.

Sainsburys would be one hit.

Perhaps currys and or other electrical retailers another.
