Because it puts lots of other people out of jobs in the long run, which sort of cancels out the whole job thing. Dog eat dog, I know, but still, point stands I reckon.

Even on a cultural level anyway I miss diversity. Corner shops and strange shops are great. And specialist shops. In the future everything is just going to be giant, white faceless supershops.

True oh well, still it's a good company to work for.

I am off to work now anyway, strangely laters.

The irony about the building in small communities argument is there is clearly a demand in the small communities or else it wouldn't be there. I'd rather have a supermarket with everything in than having to go from shop to shop. Arista, just be thankful we don't have hypermarkets like France.

I can't believe none of you are picking up on the bit in the middle which puts it all into context. Maybe it's just my accent but when I say it it comes out as cock - her - mouth.

You can all thank me later for setting back the feminist movement a good sixty years.

Speaking of school, we had a fucking whale of a time when our senile Physics teacher ever attempted to draw a spaceship or a test tube on the board.

One diagram involved him filling the end of the test tube with a colored water and stuffing the top of it with gauze and cotton wool.

Oh how I laughed.

That was pretty damn good, if you actually realise what you just did.
