Hello everyone. Sorry, not been on for a while as coming towards the end of a great holiday in Majorca. In my hotel now, paying 1 euro for ten minutes internet. Hope you are all okay and will be back in the UK very shortly. All the best to you all, Jack.
P.S, hope I've not missed the Dads Army 40th anniversary celebration.
Hope you're having a lovely holiday! 
I like rain.
Back in the UK to some rain. I woke up this morning with a cold. Anyway, I met the Spanish Basil Fawlty in Majorca, an owner of a bar. The first night I went in and sat down at a table, he tutted loudly and gave a heavy breathe. He was all over some of his customers, much like Basil, but disliked me. He would show his favouratism by giving free nuts to the people he liked. I went in his bar at least ten times and never got any nuts. Anyway, I became fascinated by this man and went in his bar nearly every night and he was the Basil Fawlty of Spain. When I asked him can I have some coffee, he replied, no, I'm not doing coffee, not tonight.

We were in Tesco a while back and this checkout girl was just awful. We asked her to give us a chance to unload our stuff and we would pack it but she just lobbed it all down the end so we had this mountain to pack when we finished. She then got a bit impatient with us and packed some of the stuff, stacking cans on bread and stuff like that. No hello or banter. So rude. My flatmate stared at her and she said "Is there something wrong?", and he replied "I was just staring at you beard. It's quite impressive how you are blonde and your facial hair is ginger......". Haven't been back since.
Why are people so rude?
Your friend or the checkout girl? 
Both!
Social retardation?

Not at all. Not everyone is fueled by Sunshine and Lollpops. It's a real effort to be polite and say "Nice" things sometimes just think....f**k it.
I just heard some aweful news. My cousin tried to kill herself. Apparently, a couple of months ago her marriage broke down and she lost her house and all her money and got shat on by all her friends.
She had a breakdown. She was tipped over the edge finally when she went to work one day (she worked at Tesco's), and some evil people said she had a beard and some other stuff. Well that totally pushed her over the edge, poor cow, and now she just doesn't want to live.
hahaha
