Guitars to T-Shirts in one change of ownership

by Old-Nick @ 2007-05-04 - 14:30:09

Chris Bryant music, which had a lickle shop in Manette Street, has moved to a bigger shop about 80 feet away on the Charing Cross road. The old shop was just next to “The Crow Bar” a small rock club that is open till about 3-ish in the morning at the weekends.

(You remember the Crow Bar right? It was the place I told you about where I went when I got marooned in London after one of the London blog drink ups and saw a load of bald headed, goatee bearded, tattooed biker types spanking each others beer belies really hard with a fly swatter? What! Don’t you people ever listen!)
:roll:
So anyway, walking back from Mollys today I saw some guys fitting a new set of signs to the frontage, and joy of joy, they said “Vince Ray” (google him!)

OH YES! A shop full of cool t-shirts and stuff with groovy tattoo style devils heads, cars, flames and stuff on them!
:yes:
Yay! No more will I have to trek down to Camden Market and go to “The Black Rose” to get cool t-shirts.
:>
Of course, a middle aged bloke of 44 has no right to be wearing cool t-shirts anyway, but what the hell.
:wave:

Good news/bad news.

Good news - The new letter we are supposed to use is on the shared drive and we can do some work! (Yayyyy/Boooooo)

Bad news - The shared drive has just crashed so we can't access the letter! (Yayyyyy/Boooooooo)

Whatever.

Must be time for lunch.

:roll:

I want my lunch time!

Bored and fed up here, even though the "new letter" is available for us to use now. Yep this mornings pottering round the blog and youtube has sapped my "vast" store of motivation away.

Wanna get out and have a cold one, view the view, listen to some music and relax.

Then this afternoon see if I can get the new damn letter thing to work and print out on the right printer.

Exciting all this work stuff innit!

Things it's OK for women to say to you

But you will be killed if you say it to them.

The one that I just love to hear is

"I like that T-shirt on you, it makes you look slim"

EH? so all the others make me look fat?

Thanks a bunch.

:roll:

Forward planning?

Ho Hum.
:roll:
I know I have said I am reeeeely busy here recently. And I was – technically still am.

BUT

As mentioned yesterday, our wonderful managers have changed how we work and we now have to send out a different letter to the customers. They told us this yet did not think it wise to actually finalise the damn letter BEFORE saying “this is how we do it now”
:crazy:
So we are all sitting here waiting for the letter to be done so we can get on with our work. This will create another backlog, and of course the management genius who came up with this format will be moaning about us not getting the work done.
:**:
You can’t win really can you?

So expect a lot of bollocks from me on here as I strive to fend off boredom.

You have been warned.

:wave:

Friday is here, as I am sure you have noticed.

Not even had the first coffee of the day yet so who knows what the day holds. Some of you out there (points boney digit at screen) seem a bit down. I really hope your day gives you something to smile about.

I have just realised that due to the mp3 battles I have been having these past two nights - I have not played a guitar in anger for ages!

Eeeeep!

I will have to see about sorting that out tonight.

Before the drink kicks in and renders me all beginer.

:wave:
