Imbibing on the hoof
« on: March 09, 2009, 06:43:19 PM »
This is nothing new, I grant you, but as I was crossing out great Metropolis this morning and back at lunchtime it got my goat yet again  ::)

Why the need to sashay along the pavement holding a polystyrene cup of the latest, must-have latté, juice, frappa-bloody-cino or whatever it is like you're clutching a fvcking Oscar  evil:   Probably more like you've just won the spelling bee in the 4th form!

Why this need to imbibe on the hoof?  Shrugs:  It's not as if you're running a fvcking marathon!  I was descending in the lift at Warren St and there was another one... decorously clad in her best, pashmina, dark glasses, the lot, sipping some Rain Forest Extra Juicio multi-vit like her life depended on it... in a lift.... to the Underground!

Have yer breakfast, get out and meet the day. Get on with it!  If you need sustenance, go somewhere, sit down and have a pint coffee. Stop bloody wandering around like you're on dialysis.

It used to be a bottle of Evian at one time. Or an Evian bottle full of tap water. Idiots, all of them  Banghead

I have to agree with Pastis on this one. It used to irritate the hell out of me when I worked in town.

See also those who are carefully carrying a lidded cup of coffee or tea along the street to their place of work. Don't they have a kettle in there?

Yes, I agree Viking are tossers, but this was notebooks... and call me an old fossil but I like a good notebook. I have two sorts; one for taking briefs (don't you dare!  evil:) which is important when visiting clients and the other for diary entries which, I admit has been superceded by direct entries onto the laptop (don't you dare, again!  evil:)

I have stacks of Atoma and Rhodia ringwheel A5 notebooks filled with carefully penned notes of yore  cloud9:
Could I find a new Rhodia A5 ringwheel notebook today... in portrait format?  noooo:
