So I was in hostipal today - getting my brace sorted out - and who should I see having a talk, but the caretaker (male, late thirties, somerset-ish) and the cleaner (female, late twenties, welsh)! I only caught a bit of their conversation, but it went like this:
Cleaner: So my boyfriend got me an X-Box for Christmas.
Caretaker: Oh yeah.
Cleaner: You see, the thing is, I got it primarily to play DVDs.
Caretaker: Sounds good.
Cleaner: But you've got to buy this add-on.
Caretaker: Bit of a rip.
Cleaner: Tell me about it. But now I find out that it's extra features include playing games!
Caretaker: Oh. That's odd.
Cleaner: Yeah. Why pay extra for that, ay? Stupid Microsoft.
And then I got called in. That's a funny story.
On a less positive note, to make this topic more worthwhile, Microsoft's Home and Entertainment division reported a loss of £122,000,000 over Christmas, despite the console selling nicely.
So, er, discuss.

Did she have large breasts?
On the $122 million debt: the whole world's in debt - it's what forces every Tom, Dick & Harry to crawl out of bed every morn and go to work like a slave. It's what keeps the status quo in place thus preserving the power base of the global elite....
Ignore me, I've had a long day and I'm tired.....

Nope, brunette. Kinda strange looking though. There were sawdust fumes all over the place. She was leaning on a vacuum cleaner.
Was this woman blonde by any chance?
