Spreading Like Wildfire

Wooah, tonight has been interesting! Sort of.

The beginning of my week and I turned up to a rapturous applause. I thought it was for me anyway, but I found out that Moo was just clapping at a joke told by Tic-Tak. Still, it was a positive for what I thought was going to be a long night, despite being with The Capable One instead of The Wall. Why have I suddenly come up with nicknames for everyone..?

The shift started off reasonably enough. Fairly busy, but nothing out of the ordinary. A few people I knew, it's good to chat when you're at work. Things quietened down in BP, just around the change of days, where things in the rest of Bedford seemingly were just about to heat up.. And yes, I do mean literally. At around 12.30am, we had a gentleman who came and filled up with a petrol can. Nothing strange about that, we get many filling up in cans, but 5 minutes later, we both realised he hadn't paid. He had just walked off into the distance with a can full of Ultimate Unleaded. Damn. Not good.

It became even more "not good" when the Police came in an hour later and asked us if we knew anyone who had bought a can of fuel. Well yes, and no. He had certainly got the fuel but he didn't buy it! It turned out that this "gentleman" had taken his can of fuel, and used it to set alight over 30 cars in and around Bedford. 30! I cannot imagine my car being set on fire, I would actually screw.

It was burning with Ultimate Unleaded aswell. Famed for it's ability to clean car engines while being used. A plus then for the victims who's cars have been scorched. At least it's cleaning your engine! No, it's not funny. And, as if things couldn't get any worse, we found out that The Goddess of All Evil was the manager in the morning.. A bollocking most definitely?

Well ... no actually. Not a word. Literally. She walked in, ignored our polite attempts at a greeting and walked straight into the office and locked the door. I saw no more of her before I left, luckily. She might even be dead by now, but I can only wish.

And one more thing, change of subject. Talking of 'Spreading like Wildfire', why the hell has everyone now got a blog? Detailing their every moment of life into an easy bitesize internet book, it was my idea! Now everyone has gone and stolen it.. Still, at least I can be nosey now..

And Beddoe, if your to be taken more seriously as a writer, I suggest you stop using ridiculous little emoticons after every word, it's just stupid. :P .... oh damn!
