The printer at work had run out of ink, so I gallantly offered to go get a new one…and off I went – totally forgetting that Thursday is market day in St Neots when all the inbreds<\/span> villagers come to the town market.<\/p>\n

\t\tAnyway, off to the big Tesco down the bypass – no ink cartridges of the type I needed. No problem thinks I, I’ll drive into town to Cartridge World and get one there…<\/p>\n

\t\tAnd so off I went – still blissfully ignorant of the fact is was Thursday, well, until I got closer to town and the traffic bought the awful realisation to me – but t’was too late, my mission was half accomplished, so onwards I went. Cartridge World is a tiny shop off the High Street so I thought I’d park outside, nip in, do the business (fnar, fnar), then fuck off sharpish before a traffic nazi<\/span> warden gave me a ticket for parking on double yellow lines. But, that wasn’t gonna happen, so I sighed inwardly, parked in a car park and paid 50p for an hour, thinking I’d wander into town proper and grab a hot, tasty treat from the bakers.<\/p>\n

\t\tWell, to start with, Cartridge World had sold the last of the type I wanted 20 minutes previously (yeah, right), but would be getting some in tomorrow…handy that eh? Then, to make matters worse, the bakers was crammed full of the aforementioned inbreds<\/span> villagers and kids – fucking half term too!.<\/p>\n

\t\tBy now my genial mood was somewhat diminished as I got back to my car, thinking “I have a car park ticket – I’ll go to Argos, park up in the car park opposite and get the bloody cartridge there…” and off I drove.<\/p>\n

\t\tNow, when I parked up, I went to put the ticket back in the window to show I’d paid, and it suddenly occurred to me – they actually print the specific car park you paid for on the ticket! can you believe that? in theory I should have paid twice for an hour each time (minimum period) at 50p a go, when in fact I used only 10 minutes of parking…<\/p>\n

\t\tFuck it, thought I, I’ll just go to Argos, get the cartridge and if I get a parking ticket, I’ll go to the council offices and shove it up someone’s arse.<\/p>\n

\t\tGot back to the car – no ticket \ud83d\ude42 so I went home, had a poo, then back to work.<\/p>\n

\t\tFIN.<\/p>\n

\t\tOh yeah – the good bit? while I was in Tesco, a couple of their aisles are badly laid out and have columns in the centre – some kid was running down the aisle away from his mum, she shouted at him, so he looked round at her while still running – BLAM! straight into this column…I almost wet myself laughing, which, for some reason, she wasn’t very impressed at.<\/p>\n
