Was just out in town shopping, with the wife and girls. Dispiriting really. Hopeless.

The activity seems to bring home to you all the essential sadness of life.

They even know a place where an espresso costs ten euros :-(

Yes, shopping is a grim business. I avoid it wherever possible. And ten euro coffees need a swerve too. :-(

The part that confuses me is when the glw takes an item of clothing from the rail, considers it, checks the size, holds it up against herself, looks at it carefully, checks the size again, then stands in an apparent trance for some time before putting it back on the rail and moving on.

"Didn't you like it?"

"Oh God no! That thing? Are you joking?"

How come it takes 17 minutes to reach this decision?

I'm being forced to have my little one christened. If that wasn't bad enough it's turned into being forced to pay for a dress and new shoes for the girlfriend to wear to said christening. ****s.

The last time I went my glgf took circa twelve items in the changing room, whilst I waited reading arbitrary Guardian articles hoping my 4% hung on. Later (twenty to thirty minutes later) she emerged holding one item. A black t-shirt.

All of that for a black t-shirt.

It's a mind****, and no mistake.

[Just Trent]

The longer it goes on, the more you begin to notice just how much little things annoy you. For me, the breaking point is always the sound of clothes hangers being put back onto the rail. After about an hour it becomes the only sound you can hear. Hell on earth imo

[Burney]

The worst bit is have nag to sit outside the changing rooms looking like some sort of sex case.
Also, there's the business of them coming out and asking you what you think of whatever they've put on. Dunno about you, but unless she looks terrible, I have no meaningful opinion and quickly run out of ways of saying 'Great'.

Why denomination, bgm? It's not one of the wrong ones, is it? :-(

Had to google it. It says the Church of Sweden is Lutherean.

Lutheran?! :yikes: That's the very worst kind of protestant.

You are condemning your child to a lifetime of heresy and an eternity of damnation, bgm. :cry:

I've actually read that book he didn't write. It's rather good. All about the siege of Munster and the religious wars, oddly enough.

Still time to have an anarchist collective named after him though

I don't mind looking like a sex case so much as, having accepted the role of wheelman, not being able to have a decent drink whilst waiting.

Even my accompanying puppies felt the injustice of it all. I looked at them, they looked at me, but we did not speak, save for the language of the eyes. Handsome as they are, they always get a tasty titbit or two in any pub worthy of its name. However, sitting in a lingerie boutique that had no air-conditioning nor other refreshment available, save comfy sofas and various women (some of them extremely "various" indeed) parading themselves in front of their advisers in lacy, complicated underwear, I could tell they felt strongly that I had let them down.

Yeah, and when you get christened they automatically resgister you to pay 1% tax to them every year you work. Cheeky ****s.
