What is this stuff with weddings?

I feel a rant coming on!! Can someone tell me what all this stuff with weddings is all about? Every bloody shop I go in rams it down your throat. What are they trying to say to singletons? That your useless and unwanted; look at how bloody superior we are and how cosy it all is. Utter shite.

Me, I'll end up being eating by alsatians!!

Rescue Me last night- and for once I'm not whinging!!

Who watched Rescue Me last night? I'm so glad it's back and still as good. Dennis before bedtime-how nice!!

Guess what?!

Oh what a surprise no flowers' chocolates or anything!! Proves my point really what a waste of time!!

Anti valentines day!!!

Is it just me or does anyone else loathe and despise valentines day? Bloody overpriced cards and gifts;restaurants who stick up their prices et al. Not to mention the florists. I'm not bitter (much!!) over the fact that I have never received flowers at work (not just on valentines I must add). Its all such a rip off. Makes me so angry.

Valentines day should be shoved sideways where the sun doesnt shine!!!!!

Rant rant.

Gits with Rucksacks

Is it me or do people who insist on walking along a packed street or boarding a crowded train with a bloody great rucksack on their backs, really really wind you up? Dont even get me started on those pull along cases...... Great for holidays but in the street and in tube stations?

Missk,Agent Provocateur & the missing suspender!

Now I like nice things but not always the price so I tend to buy said nice things in the sales (doesn't everyone?!) so a couple of weeks ago when Agent Provocateur had their online sale I treated myself to a couple of bits and bobs. There was a particular set of undoes that I had my eye on for a while so I thought why not. Managed to get the bra right away but had to wait for the matching knickers with attached suspenders but patience is a virtue or so I'm told and I eventually tracked down a pair. All was fine and dandy, box turned up my little treat-ette inside. Got them home and out of said box and guess what? One of the suspenders was missing!!! Was I miffed! Anyways I shot off an e-mail to Agent Provocateur customer service but got nothing, not a sausage. So I took myself off to one of their shops and explained my predicament. The staff are very helpful but they thought the best they could offer was a repair-to make a whole new set of suspenders. Thinking this my only option I said ok. So off I trot home to return the next day with my purchase thinking I would have to wait for them to be 'repaired'. But no readers, when I enter the shop I am informed that they do indeed have a spare suspender at their head office and that they would get it sent to the shop! How good and lucky is that. But is gets better......
whilst I am waiting for the suspender to get to the shop, the customer service people have mailed me a replacement suspender which I'm not aware of and only receive it once I am in possession of the one from the shop. Hows that for service when I had given up all hope! Top marks to AP.

PS Fellas if you are thinking or planning to buy the lady in your life some lingerie, buy something tasteful. Tacky just doesnt cut it!!

People do something with your feet!!!!

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the state of people's nasty feet?! For gawds sake if you must wear sandals please please make sure of the following:

• your feet have been in recent contact with some pumice stone and soap and water. Lovely to see cracked peeling heels engrained with dirt. NOT.
• ladies, it can be seen as sexy to slip your feet out of your shoes but not when you have been wearing flip flops or very flat shoes and your feet are carrying half of the city's dirt and grime on them.
• your toes have been defuzzed - nothing like hairy toes to make me heave.
• your toenails have been cut.
• ladies make sure your shoes fit, dont do the budgie perching thing. You know where your toes hang over the front and look like claws. Not nice and not attractive.
• men please dont wear sandals and socks, you look ridiculous and especially for younger guys a tip- it doesnt do it for the ladies.

And just a little aside if your trainers are getting a bit whiffy, remember if you can smell them so can others. I spent a couple of very unpleasant train journeys home sitting next to men (sorry but it does seem to be just men) with rancid feet.
