PC mags..
Now something I look forward to each month is my feast of PC literature so I rushed into WH smith yesterday to pickup my gourmet of PC magazines. Custom PC and PC gamer are on top of my list. So I battled through wades of people standing who, for some reason, insist on reading before buying and grab the aforementioned magazines with great purpose only checking to make sure I have the right issue. An hour later, I’m sitting on the train reading through PC gamer when it suddenly it dawned on me that I bough the same issue last month. Turns out that it was the last shelf day for the issue. What a numpty! I wouldn’t have minded but I only realised about half an hour or so in At £5.99 a time, it's quite a costly mistake.

Ehh it's what's underneath what counts.. Speaking of which, last month I was in smiths someone put an open copy of Mayfair just under the 'puter mags. You know me, I don't care, I picked it up for a quick thrill... When i put it down I noticed the HR manageress opposite looking at me with disgust hahaha

do a double take on her, then the 'mag' then her again, turning the mag on its side, then the 'mag'.. repeat all with a look of a bit of surprise when looking at her. guarantee she will look away very quickly |
