EEVILMURRAY

You can call her Marti y'know. We all know who she is

Cassius as well as Cassius 2. There's always one moment of "Shreemech"* I'll remember was that they got turned over, there was a pause from the crowd as they thought it was over. Flipper deployed and it flipped over. Crowd went wild. Was like magic. Not like how a free kick scoring a goal is magic, this stuff actually matters. *Hate that word.

Caught up with this last night. Dara O Brien: Not a bad host. Lacks the energy of Craig Charles so it didn't feel as dramatic. Angela Scanlon: Fit. Very much approves of her position on this show. Could do with losing the mechanic's jumpsuit though. Arena: If I was in the audience I would be annoyed at how far back the people are sitting now (not mentioning the obvious time delays between rounds - even if they shoot several episodes in one day) Although the metal hitting the Roboteers' booth was interesting. Wished they filmed that. House Robots: All have had some tweaks. Matilda's anus saw seems more powerful. Dead Metal (always been my favourite) looks like it's had his pincers flattened and his saw piece changed. MUST LOOK MORE MEAN. They really need to cut back on the slow-mo and constant recaps though. This doesn't need to last an hour. Where da fuck is Sgt. Bash?! If you're gonna get rid of anyone it should be Shunt. Of the top of my head, the closest I can think of Hypnodisc:

I thought Billy Zane had been confirmed to playing that villian ages ago.

Was gonna get it at my game shop yesterday (was £69.99), but thought I'd check Amazon just for flava and found it there for £32. Purchase made. I have just sold my copy of Dreadfleet (finally) so could afford it at that price and have change!

And I agree, but there's my department I have to work for as opposed to doing anothers' work for them. So long as the managers are aware that what they're asking will result in my job not being done properly (or at all) and they're happy with that, then that's aces. Had another fun encounter with another manager today. My colleage and I are sitting in a lil room (dubbed one of the interview rooms) tapping away at our PDA's. As there is a lot of number inputting and some writing we're sitting down. Duty manager comes in, normally a sound guy, asking what we're doing, we explain our task and he demands we do it on the shop floor. I enquire: "What shelf would you like me to lean against?" "None" "I need to surface to write on, what do expect me to do?" "Stop with the questions" "Do you want me to write on my arm?" "Are you serious?" "Yes! Do you want me to waste a clipboard from the shop floor?" Personnel (now known as People Manager) Manager who had been there for the whole exchange, said there is a single clipboard in the training room for use (by the whole store), so will try to use next time. Which will result in me standing there typing in numbers in the same spot for... Oooh, could be 20-30 minutes* He'd been in a bad mood all day (came up to use earlier asking what we were doing) Mentioned this to my manager and said that if he wants to take this further he can get me my union rep. He said he will "speak to them" later. So bugger all will get done/he backs the other guy. Either way I'm going to talk to my rep tomorrow. *A nice Google result shows standing still in the same spot for too long can be dangerous, hoping I can use this to piss on his claim.

Anyone up for a rant? Sweet: Life at da supermarket is getting better and better. Generally we ignore calls to checkouts because we won't have time to our jobs, let alone help another department because they're unable to do theirs. We all got dragged aside by our manager who had made a nice collage about the different types of customers (there's about four apparently) and their expectations whilst expressing the following: We are not hitting our targets effectively because we're "buddying up", If we buddy-up we'll be having so much bants that we're unproductive, The problem because of this is "maturity" Plus that we had to answer every checkout call. AND TALK ABOUT FUCKING BRAND GUARANTEE TO EVERY CUSTOMER. When he pointed out that our last feedback was "I don't know his name but he was... (compliment here)", we pointed out that it could be the customers fault for not looking at our name badge (a valid point, when I ask for help in a store I don't check out their name), he went on a rant that we should "stop being immature, get our heads on and the next person to make a cheeky reply would get dragged into the office". Which awoke the upper tier of one of my better qualities: Spiteful EEVIL. I now attend every service call made (if I have time, one was 10 mins before the end of my shift, so bollocks to that) because I'm all about helping. Today we were all asked to "push on fresh", which is basically putting out the fridge-stuff delivery out because the people who's job it is weren't in yet, by the store manager - who promptly walked off shortly after we arrived. The summons was communicated over the department's WhatsApp group, so our manager could see it. A couple of hours later he noticed: "You can't be having a push on fresh now not we are too stretched" I replied "Plus we answered a service call to deliver customer expectations" "Well you'll struggle to deliver everything if we are having to support tills as well as fresh in a morning I shall take this and express my concerns" "Don't worry about Brand Guarantee as well. I made every customer aware." [i shouted it as I made my way to checkouts] Pure cake and wanna noms it too.

Wasn't there one on the CDi?

Wasn't there one on the CDi?

Fucking hell, Chris Moyles has certainly changed.

I don't think his budget will stretch, money is a bit tight for him at the moment.

Varys being in two places at once seemed a bit off.

The other countries that are feeling a referendum need to get their skates on to show that they mean business

Kelly and I are feeling optimistic that the rates will be alright when our mortgage repayments gets renewed in about 20 months. There was never any guarantee that the rates would be any better if we stayed in the EU.

The last episode I saw was the photoshop episode.

Who's the guy at the end?

I think he's doing an impression of Northern Ireland. Part of the same team, just not on the same connecting piece.

Got a call yesterday from a lady from a recruitment firm, a proper one this time as it's her name/agency that is at the bottom of some of the Totaljobs positions I actually apply for, and wanted to talk to me about legal admin roles even though I send legal secretarial applications to her, to see her today. Appointment is at 11 so I rush home after work at 10, into shower, suited up, grabbed the earliest bus I could grab and was a little late, but she wasn't there at all. Sat in their reception (on the sixth floor) for about 30 minutes whilst the secretary kept ringing her numbers. Most annoyed as it had cut into nap time. Awoken from nap again to find her ringing me, saying that she had put me in for next Friday in her diary (despite the email she sent yesterday saying the appointment was "tomorrow") and something had come up at about 8ish so she cancelled all her other appointments. Got another one on Monday (I hope) and hopefully will lead to something better. I've been offered full-time-ish next week at the supermarket since they still haven't figured out how many of latest team member to leave Joe's hours they're actually going to offer as a vacancy. Which is going to be a real pain in the anus. May do a little extra hours.

We had something similar, in the conservatory there were panes of acrylic which looks like they were going to be used to "double glaze" the glass in the conservatory but had been left there with cobwebs aplenty. Throwing them out I found behind it was a "Beware of the guinea pig" sign, complete with its shit everywhere. Not found the creature responsible yet. But I've kept the sign. On the subject of signs, whilst shopping in B&Q for cork wall screws I got this bad boy for the bathroom: http://www.diy.com/departments/the-house-nameplate-company-pvc-self-adhesive-toilets-sign-h50mm-w225mm/237156_BQ.prd Still considering others like Private/Staff Only for the bedroom etc.

And Gandalf said "Look to my coming, at first light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East" but people still sighed a sigh of relief and went "Just in the nick of time" when he rocked up with the Riders of Rohan, which was basically this episode.

We were pushing for one (via our solicitor) because we were told we could have everything in the house, furniture included, which is why we offered more money. The first fixture list they gave us didn't mention anything about the furniture (which we assumed was just the same list they gave to the previous prospective buyer, who thankfully backed out), so we sent it back asking for a revised one.

The issue is volume. Like those who cry at football matches.

I know. Yet everyone cheered and clapped like fucking idiots.

Because they become pussies a la Reek. It's been awhile since I read the books so can't remember what is actually from the books and what is now coming from the 'winging it' style. The "BIG REVEAL" at the beginning of episode 7 was "meh" to me. I was even shown a video from Yankyland where they were showing an episode in a bar and people roared with cheer when he was shown... The fuck?!
