This morning we took Jazz to Roseisle for a run on the beach before driving to Tesco in Elgin for a Supermarket shopping extravaganza.
I tend to go through life looking like an unmade bed so took the opportunity to go to the upper floor in the store where I could find clothing items all for under 27p. Cheap, yes, worth wearing even by Portgordon's resident Scarecrow ...NO. Before I run the gauntlet of the veg section I remain upstairs and look at the electrical section, TVs, chairs, cattle prods, that type of thing.
As it's lunchtime in Elgin a number of school children are in Tesco buying food and dreaming of one day having a 9ft plasma TV in their bedrooms to play the latest video game "Pancreas IV" - Now available for anyone who has to get up in the middle of the night for a Wii.
A noisy bunch of malnourished herberts are stood around a HDTV channel hopping, they stay with each channel for 0.05 nanoseconds. When they get to Zone Horror they stop.
"Och this is mental kewl" says one.
"Aye!" say all.
As the channel is in a commercial break we eventually get to a promo, probably for something like "Sabre toothed Zombie Nuns from a little village just outside of Honiton where there's not much happening but the local pub has an extensive selection of real ales and the steak and kidney pie is delicious!" As I walk behind the shower of Elgin Academy's finest the promo ends.
"Och that wizz mental spookie!" said one wide-eyed midget. I couldn't resist .....
"And it's about to get a lot spookier" said the fatbloke pushing a trolley.
You could've heard a pin drop.

That is very funny, Philip. Man, what a great set-up for you! You had a moral, ethical and perhaps legal obligation to not just leave it there.

I like "mental kewl" as a descriptor.
