Something else I'm not cut out for
LtK has started her part-time job in a
well-know Pharmacy. Good luck to her today. Talking about this
recently, and having just discussed supermarket home delivery
services and substitutions, we found some more unsuitable careers.
If I was doing the online shoppers'
trolley push for them, my lorries would be full of things like:
Blue stripe carrots, £0.15. Sold out.
Substitute product: 54” widescreen television £750.
Roman Catholic Times. Sold out.
Substitute product: ribbed strawberry flavour condoms.
Venison haunch. Sold out: Substitute
product: nut cutlets.
Bad, but it'd be worse if I had trained
as a pharmacist. Sooner or later the low boredom threshold would be
breached. The mind would start going:
“What would happen if I swapped the
contents of the viagra and beta-blocker boxes”.
Then:
“And then swap the super high
caffeine with added amphetamine and triple adrenaline with the
chill-out anti-high-blood-pressure tablets...”
And then:
“laxative / diah-calm; earplugs /
painkilling suppositories; preparation H / Ralgex; eye drops /
surgical alcohol swaps”.
Better add those to the long list then.
Along with anything involving folding fabrics and cleaning things.
The Ryder Cup Day 3
Jack Nicklaus has just said that today
is the day that counts. Apparently, the first two days amount to mere
posturing. Unfortunately, the USA players seem to have postured their
way into an unassailable lead, with nothing short of a miracle
required for Europe and Ireland to retain the trophy.
Attitudes revealed by timing
After all the crowing, shouting and
rubbish from our politicians about their true, deep and sincere love
of sport during the Olympics, the Lib Dems and Labour have their
conferences during the T20 World Cup and the Ryder Cup, important
events that render their blah meaningless. The Tories are even worse,
remember Thatcher and her cabinet started the rot and this lot are no
different.
If they understood team sports, they
wouldn't be where they are doing what they're doing. That's fair
enough, it's just how it is. Stop pretending. You lot are the specky
nerds that ran to the debating society and always had a note from
your mum excusing you games. Live with it.
