ridiculous descriptions.

[Phil Pascoe]

Xmas is coming, and so begins the struggle to sell. If I were about to buy chisels, I don't know that the description on the rhubarb and custard Marples ones would entice me - "bevel edged blades are made from best in category steel - blades are fully resharpenable". I mean, who'd have guessed they were resharpenable? And what category was it?

 

[Mike.S]

Quite. One of my 'favourite' descriptions is the seller who regularly calls rust 'surface patination'.

Ah, the C-word.
Yesterday I went into a local shop and found a pair of trousers I quite liked. Not had any cords for years. But I'm not a classic shape (although Round is a shape) and I ummed and ahhed as I would need someone to adjust them.

The NYM* in the store asked me if everything was all right and said the trousers were fine but I didn't appreciated being assailed with Silent Night on 2nd November. It's not ********* for another 7 weeks yet. He said he couldn't do anything about it. He'd come in the day before, switched on the company FM radio and there is was, he had no control over it. It was driving him mad too.

There really should be a law against it.

*Nice Young Man. I pointed out that when I was his age I was also his shape and he was looking at the Shape Of Things To Come.

My local used to have a "bah humbug" bar with no decorations, carols, etc. - it was great. I spent too many years working in licenced trade to enjoy Xmas - it's idiot season. Just because people have three pints they think they can behave as they wish.

Christ I've got to get off these happy pills or maybe, just maybe I need some more lithium.

Scott mills is whoooooo !!!!! I use to be able to put up with him but now he gets on my wick. I think its cause he always pushes to go and view stuff online , like innuendo bingo- I'm at work, it's not possible and I think spitting on people's getting a tad boring now- if for the 'full effect' i need to view the video online whys it getting just the audio played on radio.That feature needs dropping. When the day comes that Scott leaves, it'll be Chris I'll feel sorry for. Each show has the same feel the same false laughter, it sounds like he's probably bored of doing it himself !
Sorry for the rant, feel much better now

I have absolutely no idea who Scott Mills is.

+ a million!

No doubt that I'm an ignorant so n so, but once this thread got beyond Steve Maskery's post I really didn't understand any of the further posts! Ah well.
