frosty the snowman

Ive had a really good day today, half day at work went OK I suppose with not too much trouble.

However, after work some of us are planning to go for lunch at the Guilty Lilly pub. As we are leaving my boss says "Thanks you did really well today Andy"

My friend rache says, "Why, what did you do well today ?"
I goes "Just my usual, just being me "
Rache goes "Yeh, thanks for just coming through the door today then, thanks for just turning up"

Cheers for the vote of confidence there Rache.

Rache collects tacky gifts from around the world and I brought her back the tackiest boomerange fridge magents you have ever seen, they are made extra tacky as they still have the price on them and have made in china stamped on the back. I finally get around to giving her them today. She celebrated her first wedding anniversary this month, so congratulations Rache.

I have to bail from the pub in time to get to see Arthur Christmas, which is one of the funniest kids christmas films that I have ever seen. Can you picture grandad out of Only Fools and Horses, well the grandpaclaus was just like that, with his "during the war" attitude to christmas. In fact, the only thing that I didnt really like about the film was in actual fact Arthur who was a complete geek, however otherwise it was just hilarious. I especially liked the line, "but its impossible", "they once said teaching women to read was impossible." Sheer comic genuis from end to end. I laughed out loud more often than the children.

However, bizarrely this wasnt where my humourous day ended, no siree bob, this was just the tip of the iceberg. Already in a jovial mood after the pictures I had to go to a particular shop to look for a particular christmas gift. Now, do you remember that bit out of pulp fiction, with the line that goes something like "whos choppers this baby", and Bruce goes "its Zeds" and she goes "whos Zed" and Bruce goes "Zeds dead baby, Zeds dead". Well I have a Zed moment in this particular shop today, I am unable to clarify which shop at this stage in case any potential reader thinks they are getting a present from said shop as I was only looking as to what was on offer and I can clarify that I didnt actually purchase anything to save any dissapointment right up front.

I have therefore had to blank out what the sky man bought. Anyways the conversation goes like this, but its so far fetched, its unbelievable but seriously you cant make this stuff up. The shop assistants is called Jodie.

Me: Hi how you doing ?
Jodie: HI are you the sky man ?
Me: The sky man ?
Jodie: Yeh the sky man !
Me: No, Im not the sky man
Jodie: Are you sure your not the sky man
Me: Yeh Im sure
Jodie:I could have sworn you were the sky man
Me: Do I look like the sky man ?
Jodie: Yeh, your the spitting image of the sky man
Me: Im definately not the skyman, Im the gas man
Jodie: The gas man ?
Me: Yeh, the gas man !
Jodie: The sky man wanted X for his X, you sure your not that guy.
Me: Yeh, Im sure, I dont need a X for my X, so Im not that guy
Jodie: Well, theres this guy, the sky guy, he looks just like you
Me: Does he wear glasses like me ?
Jodie: No
Me: Your really fixated with this sky guy
Jodie: He was a memorable guy
Me: Right
Jodie: Anyway, what can I do for you
Me: Im looking for a present
Jodie: What kind of present ?
Me: A christmas present !
Jodie: A christmas present?
Me: Yeh a present....pause...... for christmas !
Jodie: What kinds of present did you have in mind ?
Me: If I knew that, I would be the sky guy!

Dave comes over, the other assistant stalking the people walking through ocean terminal:

Dave: Hey Jodie, is that your sky guy
Jodie: No, hes the gas guy
Dave: The gas guy ?
Jodie: Yeh, the gas guy!
Dave: Oh, he looks like the sky guy
Jodie: I know, I thought that too.
Me: What is it with you people and the sky guy
Dave: You sure your not the sky guy ?
Me: Look, mate step away Jodie heres helping me with a present

I leave empty handed but seriously permasmiled after this encounter.

I stop in at the Mcgoos on the way home and you cant make this up, had a similar laugh with them, except its because Mr Mcgoo, has the new Iphone 4S with voice control and he keeps telling it he loves it, the conversation goes like this to the voice computer called Siri:

Mr Mcgoo: I love you Siri
Siri: I aim to please
Mr Mcgoo: I really love you Siri
Siri: Ibet you say that to all your apple products
Mr Mcgoo: I really really love you Siri
Siri: Stop it
Mr Mcgoo: Im serious Siri, I love you
Siri: Your the wind beneath my wings
Mrs Mcgoo, wife to Mr Mcgoo: I love you too Siri
Siri: You hardly know me
Me: I love you Siri
Siri: I hope you dont say that to those other mobile phones.

How funny is that.

Takeway and xfactor tonight, minus one cocaine cocosa, get in. Muppet of the week award goes to Frankie Cocosa, who clearly tried to lead the rock and roll life style, before he became a rock star. Well done mate, youve blown your five minutes of fame before it even got started. Oi frankie, your just trying to be a young Mick Jagger or Keith Richards, except they are rolling stones and you, eh, eh, ...... arent.
