WHATS HAPPENING TO ME?!?!?!

at work the other evening, as i stood watching Harry Muchmore climbing into the 3 foot square chicken side freezer and closing the door behind him, i had a very scary thought.

im really going to miss working at cosham McDonalds.

i've known a lot of the people there since we were four, and most of the rest have become really good friends. when i go up to Stafford im going to have to do the same job (which isnt as bad now as it was when i started) but with a load of strangers.
AND i wont be able to nick one of everyones fries as they go on their break...

i had loads of other stuff to talk about but i've forgotten most of it....i'll try to remember as im typing....

yesterday i got The Mighty Boosh - Series 1 on DVD, and it truely is amazing. i'd never noticed that they used so many Polo mints in the costumes.... the Hitcher even had one of those giant plastic Polos that you used to be able to get with loads of tiny polos inside over one of his eyes.
the Hitcher is one of the best characters. 'es a cockney geezah! 'e'll cutcha! e'll slash ya one way! e'll slash ya t'other way, e'll slash ya diagonal! e's like Connect Four in dagger terms! AND hes in series 2 as well...you Slaaaaag!

wooo! i've just recieved an email saying that my Jay and Silent Bob stuff is being shipped! i can now have hours of fun tracking it around the world! at the moment its somewhere in Kentucky (at least, im guessing thats what KY is...) in the USA. before that it was in Florida. slightly confusing though, cos the actual shop Jay And Silent Bob's Secret Stash is in Red Bank, New Jersey...
estimated date of arrival is 1st september. roll on thursday.

yesterday i managed to install a digital TV card into my PC all on my own, and it works! life is good.

today is the last day of BOGOF at McDonalds. HOORAY! although it is Big Macs today, which is not good. im going to suggest that because i was doing pretty much all the BOGOF chicken sandwiches from 4 - 11 yesterday i shouldnt have to do macs today. hopefully that'll work...
theres an interesting new bit of kit in the corner of the kitchen waiting to be set up. i asked Donna if we were going to start ripping off Burger Kings baguettes and she told me that [i]we[/i] did baguettes long before BK and they nicked them off of us! the bastards! apparently only the one store in the south did them, and that was the Commercial Road branch in Pompey.

judging by the fact i havent seen her for a while and her name isnt on the schedule any more, im guessing that Flirty New Girl has quit, so i'll probably never see her again. never mind. im moving up to Stafford in a month...

im reading the Da Vinci Code and its making my brain hurt, but i can look smug because i worked something out 5 pages before the worlds best Grail historian and a leading Symbologist. they were trying to work out what language something was written in, and then there was a picture of the writing. i just thought "Da Vinci used to write backwards..." then went to find a mirror.
its all getting very interesting now. i wont say whats happened because i dont want to spoil it for anyone.
the world famous Grail historian is called Teabing. its quite strange cos i keep misreading it as Teabag...

heres the answers to the screencaps game:
1) Bad Taste
2) The Man In The White Suit
3) Bubba Ho-Tep
4) Delicatessen
5) Mallrats
6) Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
