I ain’t your bro, sista.
I do like those socks though.

Sure. 1980s fancy dress. White linen palazzo trousers suit (although that's so summery you'd probably should be wearing sandals). Historical reenactment. Kate Bush music video. The list is endless.You mean if you’re in a wedding dress?
And honestly NH should you be wearing white ?

I meant a white dress on your wedding day and what means. Maybe that’s just a wild assumption 0 -

A LONG ONE HERE, APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE.
* MAY BE SOME COMEDY VALUE, SO MIGHT BE 3 MINS WELL SPENT READING FURTHER :pac: *levity not guaranteed, alas, but feel free to with your time as you wish.
(Whether it's laughing at, or with, is met with indifference by this comic, who is willing to leave himself open to anonymous ridicule for the sake of his art . Unlike those z list hacks this is a true, albeit pretty boring, sad, & sorry tale of woe)
That said:
An indirect TA about not having a car.
Was about 10 mins from chippy last night walking home, so I gave them a ring. Saw their name come up on phone,
but didn't hear any ringing, or an engaged tone. Thought maybe I accidentally cancelled the call; so I
rang them again, and the same thing.
Got into chipper, made order, was told 10 mins. So standing out on main street (outside a pub, which, like most, weren't open) at late o'clock, while others are
waiting in cars, or just passing by, and it dark enough out, streetlights notwithstanding, leaves one in the "acting suspicious"
category for those who are of a curtain twitching bent; not to mention the "revenue collectors" :mad: (you know who I'm talking about).
So, not wanting to be "one of those people" :pac: I come back about 11 or
12 minutes later from my 'waiting spot' kerbside , a few yards down the road (not directly outside chippy - fk that for a game of marbles), and was waiting close to another 15 minutes until order was ready inside the family ran takeaway.
But that 10 - 15 minutes extra wait inside the chipper was in the 'penny place' , and wouldn't even merit a TA on its own, compared to that '11/12 minutes waiting outside chipper waiting time.'
To compound my 'inner turmoil'
, someone else came in to chipper while I were waiting, and she queried the phone thing - where they said that the phone/s were busy, or somesuch, at about the time that we both would have rang (yeah, right :rolleyes:). I don't know for sure, and for practical purposes it's irrelevant whether the phone/s were or weren't busy, but I reckon the staff themselves could well have been too busy to even answer the phone, and set the phone to ring, but not ring? (if that's possible).
A mere trifling, some on here might think, to be getting worked up about.. Perhaps, though, some might feel as I do..
Point here is, to put a slight exaggeration on it, is, standing on footpath at nighttime = "degenerate", whereas waiting in a car (that I don't have )
roadside, = 'proforma' and wholly acceptable :mad: to the general populous it would seem - a sad disparity in this poster's eyes, or maybe I am reading too much into it
Like if ya "Feel Me" No thanks 'oaring ere , just want to know that I'm not on my own like
*I could have waited 'directly outside' , where I would have been on 'Terra Cotta' re the 'suspicion' , but I decided to wait a few yards up the street so's not to be 'on view' from within, as that didn't appeal neither. Like I said, I were outside a pub; could even have been a shop as far as that goes, was main street after all, most buildings are business premises, and would be closed (not sure if that's a good or bad thing - more bad than good imo) at that time. Still, it didn't do much to 'mitigate' against the n'eer do well vibe I felt sure I was giving off.
It's ironic too, in that while I was only about 5 yards from chipper, I was about a 100 miles from being chipper :pac:
Thanks for reading. I needed to get that one out.0 -

That's true, no doubt PM; but the reason I don't like waiting directly outside is because the whole front is all glass (me on view), like a lot of 'shops' in that regard. Also, with chippers, the counter tends to be only about 2 - 3 metres away from window, but the counter there - unlike a lot of shops - is almost always directly parallel to window.
Also, the fact that there would be two-three occupied cars at least right in front of me in that situation leads to me going up or down 5-10 yards to wait. It's either that or walk around in 'circles' which also don't look good, or even walk 500 metres in a straight line, and then double back. So, for me, if I find myself having to wait, and wait outside, the best proposition is to wait up or down the street. If they had answered the ruddy phone it wouldn't have been an issue.
Thanks for reading my post 0 -
