Tinselworm

Watched Bill Bailey's new live stand-up at the NIA yesterday night and I have never laughed as much in my life.  Funniest thing I have seen for a long time.

Although there was still time through all the laughter to get annoyed at the world.  During the interval I went to get some food, as you do.  We didn't go before the show because we got there a little late because someone got the NEC and the NIA mixed up and spent the best part of an hour trying to rectify this.  We won't say who.  Ahem.  *whistles innocently and looks away*

So anyway, we were queuing for food and I cast an eye over what passes for the menu and the only thing that looks worth having is a hot tandoori baguette.  Fuck it, I'll have two, the lovely lady has to eat too.  So we're queuing.  And queuing.  And queuing some more until 15 minutes have ticked away.  I'm two people from the counter and a voice booms out from behind the counter where the semi-literate, can't operate a till or count change above a quid chimps that they chose to employ for what could only be described as a sell-out gig work and says,

"No more hot baguettes.  No more cold baguettes!"

FUCK!  I've waited the better part of the interval for food to find they've run out of the only thing I wanted?  And from the sounds of it it wasn't the filling they'd run out of, because cold baguettes were out as well.  They must have just run out of bread.  What kind of morons have they employed to run this thing.

"How much bread d'you reckon we'll need, John?"
"Dunno, coupla packets?  How much is ten?"

Un-fucking-believable.  Needless to say I walked off in a less than happy mood, loudly declaring that "they've just lost out on my ten quid" and "what kind of twats are running this place".

Still, Bill Bailey was funny so it all worked out okay in the end.  And we went for a curry when we got home which was delicious.  But if you work for the NIA sort it fucking out, you cocks!

Time for a change

So I've changed the template design since revisiting my hallowed pages.  I might start blogging again but still don't really have anything to rant about, life is still pretty good.

I'm selling the flat and so far everything is going smoothly enough.  Got a house all lined up and me and the lovely lady will be co-owners just like real proper growed-ups.  Next thing to sort is the wedding which I just know will creap up like a ninja and surprise the hell out of us but hey, fuck it, we'll be ready come hell or high water.

So that is pretty much it.  Maybe more blogging to come, maybe not.  Watch this space.
