The Iron Giant

Comic book films can sometimes.....well most times be a bit crap really. Don't get me wrong I love going to see them, but it's when they have been done wrong it can really piss you off.


I might just be a complete loser but I am very much so looking forward to Iron Man.






I'm not an Iron Man fan, but Robert Downey Jr is his usual funny self and John Favreau is directing so it's gotta be good.


Right?

Making The Mundane........Neat

I'm still trying to get used to this whole not living at home thingy.

The main thing that still confuses me the most is going food shopping. Things that I expect to be really expensive aren't and things I think would be cheap, well you guessed it, they are way to bloody expensive.

I remember a long time ago having a very wasted conversation with Col. and Trench. Well I say I remember it, I can actually only remember one line from it.

Trench: I can't move out, I don't even know how much eggs are.

Classic Trench.


But as I walk around Asda and the like I am lost as a child when I look at the price of things.


Also I am the worst person to go shopping with, as the second I step foot into any shop I instantly forget why I am there and end up buying crap.


Today I remembered that I was going in to the shop to get dinner for the next couple of days. I needed to get some potatoes. The Amazing Sarah and I started off buying small potatoes until we found out that we used half the damned bag each time we cooked. So we started getting bigger and bigger bags of potatoes. We mainly started getting these because they were on offer for about 99p.

I went shopping un-supervised and stood looking at all the different types of potatoes, the differing sizes of bags, all the colours and the odd thing that is a "Sweet" potato.

Then I spotted the bag that I would have to have.

5Kg of potatoes.

The price?


₤1.76.


Mental.



I know it's really sad, but I got pretty excited at the prospect of having so many potatoes for such a small price.


Even if the damned bag did break the zip on my back-pack.





Still have no damned idea about the price of eggs mind you.
