Everybody! Leicestershire's a great big freeway, put a Twenty down and buy a car. In a week or maybee two you wish you'd saved for a Lada. Ohhhhh, I've got lots of friends in Camden Town, la la la la la la la al. Yeah, you can't really breath in Camden Town, la la la la la la la la la. you can keep singing if you like but I'm going to write a bit now, so.... How are you? I woke up this morning to the sound of my phone ringing and at the other end comes a voice..... "Hellooooo James, sooo sooorry, I'm afraid we've had to rearrange your shifts, soooorry, is that Okaaaay?" This is the voice of my *employer* and his latest transparent excuse. He got a reply of "No you useless gimp, thats not Ok" Finishing with "Take me off your books, I shan't be requiring your services any longer!" Now, telling your boss to get lost is all well and good but it had me chewing finger nails at an alarming rate as I was without income and still had a complete lack of "feeding myself" funds, let alone "get me back to London" funds. I then walk out the door to see Triumph car making out like I'm not so bad after all, pouting her bumpers suggestively as I pass by. I know she's only doing this cos I'm trying to sell her and really thinks I'm a terrible driver. So having a clingy motor car and no income was getting me a bit miserable. That was this morning, cos now all is well again. I went to another interview earlier on and was delighted to see the agency lady was infact Fergie's identical twin, what could go wrong now a disgraced royal was going to find me a job? Absolutely nothing!, She came bounding back from her office with all the enthusiasm of newly born giraffe, legs all over the place, collapsed into her chair, flung herself over to my side of the table, looked up, pushed ginger hair out her eyes, caught her breath and spluttered "how about a job at Disney!" Having escaped Sarah Ferguson's rather loose sister I leave the office EMPLOYED, and with the title 'order picker' to add to my collection. I feel like dancing about with JOY at finally getting a well paid proper job with a real boss and a real place to do this work in. mmmmm, lovely. .............................................................................. Datsun 260Z (love) Got her loser bits of rust brushed off and painted back over with "Magnolia" emusion which makes the her look all the more tatty, as is the fun of owning 27 year old cars. She really shot off down the lanes this afternoon very enthusiastically and I think secretly she quite enjoyed getting tarted up in house paint. Perhaps it has the same effect on cars as cotton wool buds have upon humans. .............................................................................. .................... By means of a change and that this is a B&S list, I have some Belle&Sebastianish content in my post today. Miss Jenni of picnic mummying fame has the new Single and says "It's got a really twee retro design on the cover" and that she feels very proud to have it a month before everyone else, so. List crushes are brill and should be encouraged. If you've read this FAR it must be 'cos you got HIGH....
