Who has a kids party in McDonalds?

At around 6pm I needed some food and decided to get a quick meal in McDonalds. After I ordered my meal I went and sat down.

What I noticed was a kids birthday party, one birthday girl sitting there laughing away with her friends. While six parents stood to one side waiting, watching, hardly talking to each other, some looking really pissed off like a fight was going to break out between them.

I over heard one couple say how pathetic it was to have to buy their own daughter a happy meal. And that it would of been cheaper to do a birthday party in the home!!

I was just about to leave but before I did I watched as some parents took some of the kids home and noticed that even half the kids seemed upset. After seeing the reactions of this event it’s clear to me for the child who birthday it was and her family that was just social suicide!

How much for a bottle of water?

I had just drove 60 miles and needed a break so I stopped off at South Mimms Service area of the M25 motorway. I took £1 out of my car to go buy a bottle of water. I went into Starbucks first, picked up a small bottle of water, took it to the counter only to be told it was £1.65 “how much!!??” Upset at the price I marched over to WH Smiths and thought they must be cheaper…

£1.39 was the cheapest small bottle of water there was. I asked the guy at the counter if he had any drinks cheaper than a pound his answer was No!

This is a non-taxable item! Wtf do these people need to charge so much? There markup must be huge! So back into my car and carry on driving home not in the best of wear. No wonder there are fatal accidents on the road! With prices like this it explains a lot!

I do like an empty restaurant

I just went down the road, the first place I wanted to eat was closed so I went across the road into Marks, but I couldn’t buy any food, microwave or oven baked products didn’t really appeal to me.

So out I went and crossed the road again looked at the menu on the door of an empty Indian restaurant and thought the prices seemed reasonable enough.

So I went in and took a table. When I am on my own I rather like empty restaurants. There is something easy going, no other customers to stare at me and think what a sad guy eating on his own. No, I don’t feel ashamed, but slightly imperious to have the place all to myself.

So I felt settled, ordered a starter of an onion bargie, a chicken dish and rice for my main. A little over £10. Very nice food and I didn’t need to make a mess in my own kitchen.

There is something very satisfying about every aspect and comforting that I was able to power walk home.

Tresemme it burns it burns!

Generally I like Tresemme as I have been using one of their products which is with moisturiser. But this version Renewal Hair and Scalp, Now I know what Jack felt like when he fell into that big vat of acid to become The Joker in Tim Burtons Batman! It burnt my face! I went all red.

I don’t know if people have had similar problems with this product or even other similar shampoo products.
 

A Rustlers burger once and never again!

I was hungry this evening, so I went home via McDonalds, which annoyingly was closed at 11pm.

So I went across the road to Tesco, I still felt like I wanted a burger, I had never tried a Rustlers burger before, shoved it in the microwave and zapped it!

I didn’t use the sauce or the cheese, instead I just put some ketchup, mustard and pickle in which I had.

This has to be the worse burger I have ever had in my life. Do people really eat this shit? It tasted like recycled plastic. Chewy and gross.

I just hope I don’t have food poisoning tomorrow.

Rememberance Sunday: Robert Remembered

Mr Graham

My Dear Bob,

May you be remember, for the stories you told and didn’t tell.

He signed up to the Territorial Army branch at the opening of WW2 and served in the South Lancs Regiment as a gunnery. He told me how he served in North Africa, but what I found out at his funeral a few years ago he was at Normandy Landing he got off the boat with his best friend, ran up turned around to his friend only too see him get a bullet through his head. I found that very shocking when I heard the story.

Another story that stood out, before the war broke out he was in training and went out one evening to the pub with some friends, where they got rather drunk and on the way back one of his friends spotted a snake on the side of the road not knowing it was an adder and threw it at Bob, he got bitten that day by the snake, his arm started to swell up and he got back to the base. Reported in to the medic; He was treated and the report said because of the amount of alcohol in his system it saved his life. It also stated at the time that he was the only solider to ever have a snake bite in Britain in the army.

Robert was a great man, always had a smile, never had a bad word to say about anyone and I shall remember him always.

Is my sub-conscience sleep taking the piss?

I just woke up from the strangest dream yet. The ground kept changing there was a type of trench in what looked like my uncles back patio area. I managed to escape out of this trench into a road.

This followed into a parking area behind some buildings.

Then I was having to fight some old school bullies to the death. With a large crowd around me. But before that could even start I heard police cars, so started running to get away over taking cars, then for some reason I was flying. At this point there was some narriator in my head as I flew around a long straight coastline. Then I headed straight up into the sky out to sea!

For some reason I held two plastic figures of batman and some purple woman. 

It was as if I had invaded some kids mind, but surely it has to be my mind. Or is my mind taking the piss out of me and saying I should grow up??
