It’s morons like this that make travel such a pain in the neck. I say we invite them all on an intercontinental flight and have the flight staff ditch the plane – someone needs to test those seat cushions for their ability to act as flotation devices.

I recently visited Paris and bought a snowglobe to bring home to my mother. Freaking security specialists took it away from me – evidently a small water filled souvenir is an excellent terrorist weapon. At some time in the past some moron actually had one rigged to look threatening, just to see if he could get it through and onto the plane. Now I have to explain to my mother the reason I returned home from my first trip overseas without a souvenir. Aaaarrrggghhhhhhh!

That’s because cartridge razors are so hideously overpriced.

The ‘traditional’ old double-edges blades I use are so cheap as to be not worth stealing. Even if I were so inclined. Which I’m not. Obviously.

and you know why it was placed there? Because razors are the most popular item in high street shops to steal.

I find that pretty scary

You people need to arm your general public like we do. Then there’s no worry about who is the psychotic shoplifting maniac. You could live in happy confidence that every last one of your fellow shoppers is carrying heat. Takes all the worry out of life. Scuze me now while I polish up my uzi.

EP – Have lawyers been consulted? Anyone reading this feel like offering some advice?

Dominic – It was probably all stolen.

TJ – I knew there was something dodgy about you…

Jo – Hehe. Yes, walking round with your hands in there shouting, “I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE!” would be a good way to shop.

Those signs make me nervous. I find myself shifting awkwardly around the shop trying to look as innocent as possible, hands in the air in order to not look suspicious despite the fact I intend to pay for everything. Brrr.

Tesco are no better. I’ve had to swap to Sainsbury’s because Tesco never have in what I need (basic stuff). However, having read the rantings of EP, I may boycott them out of principle. God love Morrisions???

By the way, as a child I devoured a pack of strawberry laces whilst my mum was shopping in a supermarket and she only spotted the empty packet in the car on the way home. Technically, I had shoplifted but resisted the urge to stab anyone to death. Perhaps, I now have deep-rooted issues bubbling under the surface and it may only take one clash of a supermarket trolley to send me on a pyschotic rampage….

AND the bastards regularly sell out of bread before I get there.

If only Tesco were nearer…

On a blog related point, statistically there must be homicidal maniacs in supermarkets and some of them must also be shoplifters (a Venn diagram would prove my point here quite well).

What you have here is another instance of people covering their arses. It’s like the warnings on bags of peanuts that state “may contain nuts”.

That way, if you do get murdered by a homicidal shoplifter, the store can claim due diligence.

Sainsbury’s = Cunts

Fucking tight fisted wankers.

Had some Executive shares with them after being made redundant and have just been told that I cannot exercise these as they have not met the targets. As I am no longer there, my right to use them ends in November and they will now not retest against performance until May 2008.

Share price was £2.80 when they were issued and £5.74 when I was informaed they had not performed. They are constantly crowing about being well ahead of their recovery plan and have exceeded expected LFL growth for the past 10 quarterly trading statements.

That bullshit about not performing cost me £6000 (that I had already spent)

I am fully aware that this was not the subject of this post but that name provokes naught but anger at the moment.

*goes for a walk to calm down*
