Personally, I think something like littlewoods and Great universal? Are the biggest rip off compaines i've ever comes arross; Games costing at a range of £50? and other items coming at stupid prices also.
:/
:/
I love mail ordering - especially when it's with someone like Littlewoods.
Last week, I received my latest order. One of the things I ordered was a double-pack of of plain long-sleeved t-shirts, priced at £19.99.
Yet, upon opening the package, what do I find??
An unexpected 'LACOSTE' polo shirt - priced at £69.99!!
Hmmm... Do I keep the £50 profit and order the other one anyway, or do the honest thing, and save some Towny sat at home crying because he recieved something not even half the price... ;D

Never take any notice of what I say about Kelly - no, I'm serious!
I have a strong and uncontrolable tendancy to take simple, meaningless things I hear or see and to blow them effortlessly and uncontrolabley out of vast proportion.
It never made sense...
How could she be going out with someone when he's just gone off to university over and across the Severn Bridge!?
I still look at her now, though, and think, 'what do I really see in her?'. I'm still obsessed, yet I'm "still looking", also....?
Speaking of looking, there's some very pretty young "thang" in the reception area of college this year - I'm sure she could help me to "enroll" on the second year of this 'course' when I need her to, this week...! ;D

September - what a horrible time of the year.
Without much of a reason, EVERYTHING just seems to take a change for the worse, suddenly, out of nothing, at a random time when it's likely you weren't expecting it.
It might be a time for eager mum's to begin (or, in some cases, finish) this year's Christmas shopping; but, with the sudden changes (or 'changes') in weather, it can put a lot of people off, and, therefore, other businesses will suffer...
School, college, university... It all starts again for someone - and it's never quite as welcome as you may like to think, after spending the last few months sat firmly on your backside. ;)
What am going on about now? I'm not sure...
All I know, now, is that I've realised how things are changing for me. After losing some of my better friends to across-the-country university courses this time last year, it's happening all over again, as the final pack in the herd follow the leader... :(
And, what do we have to look forward to now?
Rain. Wet. Ice. COLD weather. FREEZING cold. Christmas...
Hardly makes you feel a lot better, now, does it?
:P

Security as a whole is pathetic in the UK. Two of the biggest British icons: Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament, managed to be breached.

Ic, it was you that was doin AI at Manchester want it? I've totally forgot who I was speaking to about an AI course. So that's the University of Manchester isnt it? And what length course is it? Cheers...

Everyone just looks... That's about it!
Where's the security in our Malls of today?
Anything could happen...
I only ever see police at the enterances/exits to the main Mall-building itself. Never outside the stores, or even patrolling the floors around them.
Since the main exits aren't alarmed and sensored, you could simply stroll past the 'crime-stoppers' with as much stolen goodness as you could carry! Especially on a busy day, where shop staff are already up to their eye-balls with other customers.
No wonder there's so much crime in the world, today!
(No wonder Townies seem to love shopping there so often...)

Did a bit of shopping today, and bought myself 2 A6-sized books from WH Smith. Along with folders, stationery and all the other stuff I'll probably need when college restarts tomorrow.
Popped into HMV first, though - setting off the alarm going IN to the store, having been nowhere else except the cashpoint, might I add... - where I found a "3 DVDs for £20" sale going on, and managed to pick myself up the following:
- Ace Venture: Pet Detective
- Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
- Mike Bassett: England Manager
I haven't see "T3" yet, so, having enjoyed the first two, I thought this would be a good way of doing so, having also loved Ace Ventura while Mike Bassett made me laugh (plus, it's about FOOTBALL). :)
Yes, I got my books. No (hopefully...), I won't be ranting in here as much one that one all-too-familiar and tiring subject anymore.
One book for thoughts, the other for poetry and 'stuff'; that's how I'm thinking of things right now. First thing to go in there will about 'Procastination' [did I spell that right?]
I see it as an 'American' word used for 'time-taking' and 'putting-off'; semi inspired by 'A Certain Shade of Green' by incubus, yes.
I somehow set the alarm off empty-handed when I entered HMV, and I then set it off having payed for 'everything' when I left... And an older female shopper passing-by gave me an uppity look of 'disgust'.... :P
It went off again as I entered Smiths - yet, to my surprise, all was quiet as I left, that time...?
I was gonna pop into Virgin and a few other places too - but, I thought perhaps people were starting to get a little suspicious... ;)
I think it's my belt though. I think that's what it was when I went to Spain back in July, when I got searched on both the way there at Cardiff, and back.
