Random

So there I was stood on the corner of Argyle Square happily having a smoke (not allowed to smoke on the estate any more but the residents are, go figure...) when some random guy with a wierd accent came up to me and offered to sell me some Marlborough Lights.

Now I'm not one to pass up reasonably priced smokes (they certainly aren't reasonably priced in the shops any more), but this guy was far too random and had too wierd an accent for me to even contemplate purchasing his wares. He then continued to wander around the square and didn't approach anyone else, even though other people were smoking.

How random.

So this afternoon, whilst stood in the same place smoking my final cigarette of the day I was approached by another random person.

This one would've contested Piggy in a "Who's shortest" competition and was wearing a scruffy old Liverpool football shirt (although from his odd accent I'd say he wasn't from Liverpool).

"Got a spare smoke?" says he.

**STOP**

Now, I'm not a miserely git, but I refuse to hand out cigarettes to all and sundry. Because, firstly, working where I do then you give one tramp a smoke and the rest want one. Secondly, I'm a miserely git

Besides, I tend to leave my cigarette pack in the office...

**CARRYON**

"'Fraid not." reply I politely.

"I'll give you this for a smoke." retorts the street urchin pulling a cash card out of his pocket and proffering it in my direction.

"I'm afraid I really don't have any." I counter.

"Have it anyway." He growls before hurling the card at me viciously (incidentally the card merely ricocheted off my jumper causing me no harm whatsoever... I know you were concerned

) before walking off.

How Random was that!!??

I believe that I should start smoking on the estate again, using the argument that it is hazzardous to my health to be on the street with all the damn weirdos there are in Kings Cross.... Reckon that'll work?

Too much AC in my office to keep the monitors cool = bloody freezing office :/

It's warmer outside (apart from when it's raining)
