Everybody talk about pop musik

Every morning on the way to work, I walk past a supermarket that has got music playing pretty loudly outside. It’s usually a decent pop song that’s playing when I walk past and I always end up humming/singing the song for the rest of the morning. Last week, I kept a note of the songs:

Monday: The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon

Tuesday: Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth

Wednesday: Kavana - I Can Make You Feel Good

Thursday: The Monkees - Daydream Believer

Friday: Bananarama - I Want You Back

I’m thinking of keeping a log of the songs that are playing as I walk past every day and maybe making a playlist of them all. Any songs that I don’t recognise, I’ll have to remember a line from the song and Google it when I get to work (I had to do this with the Kavana song last week).

Reinforcing the vending machine hate, a friend tried to buy a Twirl today.  The machine dropped the bar, but it bounced off the glass/top of the flap’s hinge and bounced back onto the top of the food on the bottom rack.
I wish I could have actually been there to see this happen.

A telephone conversation I had today.

  • Me: Hello.
  • Them: Hi, it's Dave from the van rental place.
  • Me: Errr...hi?
  • Them: Yeah, it's about the van you're renting this weekend.
  • Me: Sorry mate, you've got the wrong number.
  • Them: Is this xxxxxx?
  • Me: Yeah, that's my number, but I'm not renting any van.
  • Them: Well, this is the contact number on the form.
  • Me: Okay, but this has got nothing to do with me. I'm not renting a van this weekend.
  • Them: Are you sure?
  • Me: Yes!
  • Them: Okay, so what's your name?
  • Me: Why?
  • Them: It's about the van you're renting.
  • Me: Yeah, I'm not renting any van. You've got the wrong number.
  • Them: Okay, so what's your name?
  • Me: Nah, mate. I don't know who you are.
  • Them: It's Dave. From the van rental place.
  • Me: Alright then. Bye. *click*

There’s a bird round here that, somewhere between midnight and 7am, likes to attack windscreen wipers and tear off the rubber blades.  I know it’s a bird because you can see its dirty fricking bird footprints all over the windscreen when you get in the car.   I think it’s either that crow or magpie (it’s one bird, I’m just not sure what kind it is) that is always hanging around.
It’s happened three times in the last week.  Twice, I’ve got in my car in the morning, turned my wipers on and the rubber blades have just flopped around, but were still attached.  The other time, the rubber followed the wiper arm up and then just stuck on the windscreen when the arm came down again.
I’ve tried this method of protection the last three nights and it’s been successful so far.  If this doesn’t work, my next plan involves violence.

The Perfect Crime

I had to get vetted by the police as part of my job and I got the all-clear yesterday.

Ha ha! They never figured it out!

When I snapped this photo the other night, I swear those clouds in the middle looked like three elephants walking trunk-to-tail.
Now I’m not so sure.
