jemck at 09:57am on 07/06/2007I wouldn't normally blog this kind of thing but when it happens twice in one day...
We've been sorting out our summer holiday plans and are now settled on two weeks in Ireland, the first with my Dad and stepmother, then heading over to the County Clare coast to stay in a holiday cottage. The booking form for that wanted to be told who was Party Leader.
Well, that would be me. With my +1 Guidebook, my 1:25000 Map of Locating and mastery of that essential spell, Summon Euro (physical component one ATM card).
You just can't ask gamers that kind of thing and expect them to take it seriously.
Then I went to get my hair cut. And sat patiently through the lass doing the shampooing telling me all about the virtues of the exorbitantly priced gloop she was using. I customarily nod and smile and have a look at the bottles and not buy one, continuing with my normal routine of buying whatever's currently on offer in the chemist or the supermarket.
Only this time, as I read the bottle, I discovered she'd been using Anti-Gravity Shampoo!
I did try to explain why this gave me the giggles but I don't think she got it. So I didn't ask if, say, it was approved by NASA. That wouldn't have been kind.
(No I didn't buy any. It was amusing but not that amusing)
