I think I've got a bit of grit in my eye.

Whilst shopping today I laid my eyes on a winter jacket, reduced from 89€ down to 7€. I initially thought it must be some mistake but it went through the till at 7€. Probably just a line they have discontinued and it was the last one. Or maybe some young person without a clue marking up prices wrong. Fuck all wrong with it, suits my tastes and fits perfect, fucking love a good bargain.

The Heart Foundation is such a noble and just place to give this time of year. Repped for the humanity.

We always give our clothes we no longer need to a charity. (I prefer not to put them in them clothes banks, they are forever getting robbed by people who are not so needy) Mounts up to quite a lot every year having a household of 5 and two kids who are still growing. 

 

I'm guessing bargains like today is a bit of payback.

Payback or some fucking young persons mistake remember. Twat.

No need to call anybody a twat over something as petty as this. Save it for the serious stuff.

I gots me a new job today!

 

Quick recap, got made redundant August 2016 from the place I'd been for ten years. Got another job beginning of last year but it wasn't working out mainly due to them overselling the position i.e. it was far duller than they were making out. So I jacked it in.

 

Had a few interviews the last month or so, didn't get any of them. Interviewed today for a job which is very much the same as my skill set, sales director thought I was da bomb and they called to offer me the position within a hour of me leaving the place.

 

Start on monday. Yay fucking me. Whopping pay rise on the last place too. Double fucking yay.

Brilliant news General.

[Captain Turdseye]

Well done, mate.

 

Lend us £20.

[Lee909]

Great news

Congrats

[General Dryness]

Thanks you guys.

 

Turdseye, I've already told you I'm not going to feed your addiction to buying wanking chairs. You'll have to go back to giving Stig handys for 10p a turn. Hard work will make a man of you.

We were in a wine club back in the UK and have been very happy that Laithwaites have established themselves over here in America in the last few years. We just ordered two cases of wine, and the cost tipped over a price point to mean that we got some free gifts: 4 Dartington crystal red wine glasses and a magnum of lovely Zinfandel. Jobs a good ‘un.

 

When the wine was delivered we noticed the magnum of Zinfandel wasn’t delivered. It was smashed en route. I phoned Laithwaites USA and they said they would send a new bottle.

 

On Friday the WHOLE order arrived again. Two cases of wine, four wine glasses, and the magnum of Zinfandel, this time thankfully intact.

 

I half thought about keeping the wine but that would be ethically wrong, so I phoned Laithwaites to say that we were just expecting one magnum bottle of wine, but they had resent the whole order. The lady on the phone said it was their mistake and I had two options.

 

1. She could send me shipping labels via email to return the two excess cases of wine

2. I could just keep it, as it was their mistake

 

I said if it’s all the same, we’ll just keep the wine. It’s worth about $300!

It's ethically wrong and therefore you should have requested the labels. 

 

There's no half-way house here, G.

Say ten hail marys five our fathers and down the zinfandel in one. Chug,chug,chug,chug....

I phoned them up to say they had re-sent the whole order, and not just the one bottle that was smashed. They presented me with two options, so I took the free wine. I’m not sure what’s unethical about that.

 

Anyway, if you’re ever in these parts, let’s discuss over a glass of wine!

Laithwaites do some cracking wines.

Either that or he's the type that irons his grey underpants.
