Blinkers

Blinkers. Yep - those thing that horses wear, and people too it seems. I have noticed that people seem to go at this freakishly slow speed in the supermarket when walking up and down the aisles. Actually, I've noticed it for quite some time, and I suppose many other people will be nodding their heads at these words. What the hell is wrong with people? Don't you have a list? Is there some sort of 'white noise' telling people to walk slowly, so that the supermarket can maximise their profits? (probably). But most of all these people, when combined with the fact that they seem to think they own the aisles and that they can totally block it with their trolleys/screaming kids/fat asses, and get away with it is ridiculous... Even I, the great Scotto can sometimes only just fit through these narrow gaps... and I'm damn skinny enough as it is... what about all those beer bellied fat old guys who lose it at a moments' notice on the roads? How do they manage? how come we have never heard of an incident of 'Supermarket Aisle Rage? (SAR's?) Bah, move slow and block the aisles... for crying out loud people pick your feet up, have a can of sugarless V and get the hell out of my way.

Now, that I have breifly touched on that subject, maybe I should natter about soemthing else... what can I talk about? Ahh well I went to the doctor last night. Had to get a medical form signed to allow me to do my PADI diving course this year sometime. Hehe... you should have seen me. The Doc was eyeing me up asking me how my general health was, and, in the same breath he also queried my ability in the water. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Mate, I'm so freakishly fit right now, dolphins get worried when they see me coming." Haha Needless to say, I got my formed signed... Look out Dolphins! ;-)

Hmm Playing a few good games again lately... it's been a bit rough finding the time, in between work (walking to work and back sure does take up quite a bit of time), gym sessions and the odd excursion to the pub every week for Quiz night (Diet Cokes drunk more frequently than anything else). I generally get 2-3 hour max per night for eating, showering, and the odd game, so thing are progressing slowly. However, happy to report that I finsihed all of Neverwinter Nights and both expansion packs, and have now tee'd up Neverwinter Nights 2 (again with both expansion packs). I've been keen for this one for sometime, but had to finish the first game (for possible storyline crossover glee) and also to let the software get patched over time and my hardware on my pc to catch up to a reasonable level. Look out evil creatures of Waterdeep, here I come. Might try a playing a Cleric to start with. I'm even toying with this idea of being an evil Cleric.... ooohhhhhh sounds like fun... maybe a Necromancer... I always play the goody-good - maybe it's time to try going across to the dark side :-)

Hmm what else? Work's good. Home's good. Reading loads of books as I now catch the Devonport ferry twice a day... Good times. Just clear out the friggin supermarket (handy hint - go after 6:30pm - it's MUCH more emptier after then).

Cheers
