Astroturf and Shoes

Tasty ! These past few days have gone quite insignificantly, had a neuroscience lecture yesterday about memory which then led me to HOME ! As I had nothing else to do for the rest of the day so I worked from home doing research and such. In the evening I went to play football with S's boyfriend and another 20-odd people which was fun. The place we went to (I got a lift) is close to the Madejski stadium and was £2.50 for a full-size astroturf pitch so it was really good. I went back to my old defending days and even dove for the ball during a brief stint in goal amidst calls of "great save" ! Nice

I'd bought a shiny new pair of football boots in the Oracle where I went to the world's most incompetent shop EVER. SportsDirect = Useless. I went downstairs to the football section wondering to myself if you needed special boots to play on astroturf so I go up to this Korean chap and ask him. He stares blankly back and sais that he doesn't know... Great. So he tells me to go see Mr Fugly 2010 at the cashier desk where the latter was tending to customers. With his face looking as miserable as a Monday Morning. So I wait for a while for this sad type to finish and then I ask him the same question to which he answered "yeah follow me" sounding as if I had just condemend him to a holiday in Zimbabwe. So he brings me to the special astroturf shows and then leaves me with no advice. So I look around and see a pair that I seem to like but it's in size 6 so too small. I go see our good friend again and I find him hammering in a display into the wall using another display... Strange... After asking him my question, he keeps on hammering away at his display louder and louder so I wait patiently for him to finish. 14 bangs later, he descends off the till desk and goes to fetch me my shoes. I bought them leaving Mr Miserable-times behind to wallow behind the till and returned to the cheerful outside world. Talk about customer service !!


This guy would've been a better salesperson.


Today was spent doing a bit of work and watching me some Prison Break ! Fun but I'd've rather have been out with folk.

Sounds Good !
