The Christmas Insanity has begun!

Story time with Punky.....
And i shall now explain the origin of the flying reindeer.....
Ages ago (i aint quite sure when) in Scandanavia (or where-ever santa is from), the reindeer used to eat some super-strong magic mushrooms that are red n white (like santa!!). This got the silly things wasted. Upon seeing this, some clever local figured "hey, these mushrooms are too poisonous for us to eat, but i bet reindeer pee will get us wasted." I have no idea how they could have come to this conclusion.
Well, upon drinkin the reindeer's hallucinogenic urine, the locals began to trip their chilly tits off and saw the reindeer flying, thus where we get flying reindeer from.
My biology teacher told me this whilst we were passing the mushrooms round in a lesson (she always kept her eye on me when i had em for some reason....). I think its true, but she is an old hippy, so her mind may have been warped by all the nice chemicals over the years. Peace.

Christmas is baaad but its nothing compared to the ransacking that happens in the january sales. And just to make my life easier...guess who works on the customer services desk -.-
the amount of people comming back for a refund is REDICULOUS! and i have the pleasure of having abuse hurled at me by then...the joys.
BTW i work in Marks and Spencer..im going to report u lot for trying to steal our business

nemezila mate, i really admire you, i could never in a million years work as in-store customer services.
my sister used to process all the customer service payments that came via store to head office for the company we work for & some of them were laughable, my favorite 2 being

1. woman goes into store, attempts to put something in basket, misses & drops item on floor. bends over to pick up item, the sunglassess balanced on her head fall off & smash - we pay out £85 for a new pair of ray-bans (couldn't have been cheap copy ones, oh no! obviously a pair of ray bans)

2. bloke goes to petrol pump, is wearing his suit (armani, obviously) attempts to put petrol in car but is too inept to actually put nozzle in car, so instead discharges petrol all over himself - so we foot the bill for a new suit!!!
personally i'd have thrown lit matches at him until he went away since he obviously doesn't deserve his place in the gene pool!!

hats off to you mate, and good luck for january

How I envy you lot, getting to deal with the customers at Chrustmas, always was very amusing. Workin in a chip ship as I used to do, we had great fun explaining several times a minute that since the sign on the front of the shop says "Fish only 99p", and the sign ouside says "Fish and Chips £1.50".... oh forget it

Wiffle/Punky... comiserations lad, you'll get outta there eventually
