Pop Goes the Pop

Tonight was fairly good actually. Everything went swimmingly despite that feeling you sometimes get in the pit of your stomach that something will go wrong. Last time that happened, everything went wrong so I was glad there wasn't a repeat performance.. Today has probably been as average as Joe, so not a huge amount to let you all know about... Unless you count the story of Pump 1 and the Exploding Lucozade Bottle..

You see, there was this man. He had a Hi-Vi on, in broad daylight, and he wanted some petrol. Apparently people go to petrol stations to get some petrol.. Anyway, Pump 1 was being wierd and he waited for 10 minutes until he realised there was no petrol coming so moved tanks. After eventually filling up, he came into the shop, had a little go at me for not being a Fuel Engineer, (I'm used to it), and picked up a lucozade bottle and came to pay. By this time, there was a short queue, about 3 or 4 people and by the time he got to the front, his bottle of lucozade had literally exploded. I mean, out of nowhere, literally exploded. There was no more bottle and the orange contents were now all over this poor man's orange Hi-Vi jacket.. Not deterred by the fact that a bottle of fizzy stuff had internally combusted all over him, he went to get another one and then tripped over his own foot.. Oh yeah, then his card failed on him and he had to pay by cash that was "supposed to be for the Boss.." I can only imagine how his day has been so far.. I'll probably read a story in next week's Times&Citizen that he has been eaten by a tiger addicted to Lucozade... Dear me..

*An Error bar has appeared at the top of my page.. I hope it doesn't delete this post because quite frankly, I'm just getting warmed up!*

However, I don't care if other people are having a bad day, because as long as I'm not, I'm happy. I nearly drove home with the BP Safe key in my pocket, but otherwise I really don't have any complaints about tonight. It really is a first for me but I can promise normal service will definitely be resumed tomorrow as I run into The Wall for the first time in 5 days.. He will be rusty as he had his 4 days off, so he will be slower than usual and most probably more annoying.. Still, I've got things to look forward to on Saturday and cricket on Sunday, (I consequently miss England beating the Nazis), and I am 6 down, 3 to go.. So near..

"And then it goes back."
