Sinister:I rob the exploiters and give to the hot

[Helen]

How ironic that I am finally given a voice on the mailing list the day I 
lose mine in real life, due to a terrible illness that makes me feel like my 
head will soon blow up.
Oh yes, I am new to the list and mightily excited at the prospect of it.

ME & B&S
I like to play B&S in my workplace, on the off chance that someone will come 
in and recognize them and I shall have found a new friend in my city.
Actually I have only had one person comment about the music.
Scene: Icecream shop with just me working
I answer politely to her order of waffles and say in my best shopgirl voice- 
"would that be take-away?"
The lady answers "well, it will be if you don't turn the music down"

I reel back in horror, mouth open, and reply: "Right, take away it is!"

Actually that last part is a lie. Its what I would have said if I had 
thought of it and been a little more agressive, I was more shocked by the 
fact that someone could openly detest B&S, I mean I have friends who are 
indifferent (Oh! they will be converted yet) but no one can despise them, 
can they?
In reality I stepped back, turned it down a touch, then gave her the order 
and promptly turned the music back up.I also made sure that everything I 
gave her was burnt and small. I mean I can accept that others don't like 
some of my music, but to openly be rude about it in a shop when I'm there 
for 6 or 7 hours and she's there for all of 10 minutes was just too much to 
take.
Well whats the etiquette on that?

So the moral of this story is that if you're ever walking past an icecream 
shop with B&S playing then stop and go on in and say something like "Hello 
Helen" and I shall give you wondrous amounts of icecream for free (screw my 
employer he's a bastard)Actually my sole purpose for working there is to 
give away as much stuff as possible. Kind of like a icecream robin hood.
I can also make these claims with the knowledge that the chances of any of 
you walking past my shop in Perth ( of the Australian variety) are rather 
small. Oh but there was one post the other day from spencer. Wow there's two 
of us in Perth! Stranger things have happened... like that horse becoming 
Pope :)

Sorry about the length but I feel totally justified in having a big rant as 
this is my first post.

Bye
Helen
