Ah the customers can be fairly annoying, got the big "summer sale" coming up - woo flipping hoo. I'm just sick of it You get so many crazy people coming in nd they always want ME to serve them I'm the most patient with the foreigners though, I can never walk away from their chat lol.

Anyone heard of Michael McIntyre - bloody funny guy! Just popped his dvd in, very good!

If they want only you, that can only be a good sign of you

Nah never heard him, you really like your comedians though :pac:

On the crazy lady chat - had one old woman in last Sunday night, 5:55pm, wanted a comfortable walking shoe, handed her over to one of the lads - she was NUTS!!! ended up saying she usually buys kids shoes...for herself! and proceeded to try on small boys shoes upstairs!! So, seeing as how I was in a rare fowl mood, told her in no uncetain terms that we were in fact closed and that my supervisor had a flight to catch and that we had closed all the tills, so she was wasting her time as she would not be able to purchase anything. Said nothing and stayed on for another 5 mins until I went back up to her!

Now as harsh as that sounds, I actually said in a very soft spoken voice *angel*

Yep they mad for last minute shopping!

Ah another Wire fan! Bought all 5 seasons last year, seen it 3 1/2 times all the way through, getting the lads into it now! Was chatting to my ex about it and spent ages quoting it the other night lol.

Yeah some of the quotes are great, especially Clay Davis!

I've been watching loads of music documentaries over the past week too, some great stuff.

Haha!
Well most of em were of metal bands but some are great even if you're not into that kinda music at all!

I watched documentaries on:
Megadeth
As I Lay Dying
The Black Dahlia Murder
Anvil
Metal: A Headbangers Journey

The last two are great for non metal fans, I'd never heard of Anvil before the documentary but it's really interesting to see how far a huge band can fall from grace.

A headbangers journey is great too as it charts the whole history of metal and how it originated and stuff like that.

For non-music documentaries Planet Earth is the king! Love it!

Vinta81

I adore music, so I'd probably watch most documentaries!

And yes! I've actually got Planet Earth on Blu-Ray! superb!

Speaking of documentaries, Ross Kemp is utterly brilliant! he did two fantastic series one on Gangs and the other on Return to Afganistan - had me hooked immensely. And, with that I'm sounding less and less like a girl lol.

Yeah I loved those games alright. Better than most modern games too. Mario Kart and Halo are great for multiplayer aswell, our album would've been finished years ago if we didn't have em :pac:

Thats fact, modern games are just too concerned with graphics.

However, gotta love Halflife, Counter strike, Unreal tournament etc - used go to those lan parties years back. Bit of craic

mik_da_man

I'd be well up for a sega game night.
Micro Machines all the way

I got a sega classics collection for the 360 the other day, sonic, Shonibi (sp) and loads of other cool retro games

Webmonkey

Nice one, might be an idea so over summer some stage.

Went BB gunning there 2 days ago, left with a few scares haha. Great craic - that might be another social outing

mik_da_man

Yeah I'd be up for either...
Got myself an air pistol the other day - great craic :P

Webmonkey
