Testing Times.....

After making the rather long and VERY boring journey to Reading this morning, i felt slightly peckish. I saw a Bagel Factory stand and pretty much ran over. After ordering a Stacey Special (plain bagel smoothered in Nutella please mr bagel man) i anxiously waited. I then had to run for the connecting train from Paddington, so left straight away. I did that thing of 'i really want to eat this now, but lets save it for when i sit down and the train pulls away, it will make it more special' routine. Well, when i opened the wrapper the overwhelming dissapointment as i peered into a box of a plain BUTTERED bagel. I actually wanted to cry. (Ok, maybe this post is slightly more superficial than Annas!!) I then planned my day around getting the CORRECT bagel (they have another bagel factory at Reading station) So i felt a bit calmer and ended up eating the 'tainted' bagel. (As you can tell, the diet has well and truly gone out the window!)

Try It!!!

As i arrived at Reading, i felt like doing a bit of a good deed. Suprising after feeling so disheartened i know, but for some reason, when i am listening to The Choir Boys or All Angels on my ipod (please save the taunts; i know i am slightly lame) i get all full of this 'happy' buzz and feel i should give something back to the world (Very philosophical for me at 11am after waking at 6am). Anyway, i was walking past a Big Issue seller and was not shouted at and given the guilt trip for not stopping. (Have you noticed they do that 'would you like a copy...no?...ok well i hope you have a lovely day anyway ma'am' thing). So i stopped and gave him £1. He then informed me it was now £1.50. I had no more change, but he had pocketed the money so i left empty handed and slightly cheated. Ah well, its saved me from buying another bagel i suppose!





My final comment is about Neighbours and its *GULP* switch-over to second rate TV, Channel 5. Is it me, or do they have the ability to make even the greatest show on TV look poor? It is in default widescreen, which is just not right for a soap!! Plus the new 'digital' photography just makes it look like a cheesey film! Whilst i am on the subject of whats 'wrong' with Neighbours (please don't judge me yet) Am i really the only one who wants Oliver, Rebecca, Declan and the new Parkers to just GO AWAY!! Miranda Parker is quite honestly the most vile women i have ever clapped my eyes upon. Gone are the days of the light-hearted Timmins storylines and they have been replaced by a women running over a kid, an aneroxic teenage boy, a panic attack stricken lawyer and a well-loved character coming down witha serious and probably life-threatening illness!!! Also, the fact that the Parkers have just taken over Janae's house is utterly ridiculous. On a lighter note though the ad breaks are hopefully going to remind me to stop scoffing those Stacey Special's!
