Signing on!
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009What an experience all the smokers huddle round the door like it’s some great social meeting place, you walk in and you greeted by a very nice man who tells you that you are on the list and you may go to the ball Cinderella. Then you are sent to the next level were you are greeted again by another very nice gentleman who checks to make sure you are on his list and low and behold we have two lists and your on both, it’s your lucky day! So you sit down and wait for your name to be called and two very pleasant interviews later you too have joined the exclusive club called the DOLE. This is all very different to the first time I signed on in the late seventies, back then the people were different and pleasantries were not part of the deal. When you signed on you were made to feel it was totally your fault you were there under false pretences. Only three words were ever uttered, NEXT, NAME and SIGN. Much the same as it was portrayed in the sitcom BREAD. That reminds me now times are hard I must get a chicken for the centre of the table.
As some of us have very little to look forward to at the minute I must tell you guys out there something really important and you need to know this with Valentines Day coming up, YOU CAN’T EAT FLOWERS, so don’t waste your money. We need comfort food like chocolate but only the best will do and I think that has to be Hotel Chocolat, it is heaven and even the worst day can be lost as you bite into that sumptuous silky smooth bar. Thank goodness for the Aztecs if it wasnt for them inventing the beer-like beverage; chocolate might never have evolved and then were would us women be, we would have to rely on sex!
Time to recharge and get ready for another day on the trawler and lets hope the net has no holes in it.
