This morning's brekkie
was odd. Rather than the usual coffee and toast I had a "healthy
and nutritious shake". A chap a work is selling herbalife
stuff and I didn't have the heart to tell him I wasn't interested so
I bought a three-day starrter pack. Thhe idea is I have a shake at
brekkie time and another at mid day and I won't be hungry right
through till the evening. Or that was what was promised...
With shake guzzled I then
watched the next episode of "Revolution". The fit
one croaked in today's show. Bearing in mind the amount of mindless
violence that features in that program, if the show is to have any
plausibility it was time that someone (who wasn't an extra)
croaked.
There wasn't much on
telly after "Revolution" finished. Bearing in mind
I'm now on a healthy eating kick it seemed somewhat strange to find
myself watching an infomercial for "nutribullet";
which seems to be a vastly overpriced food blender. "Nutribullet"
was being flogged for just under a hundred quid; I found simular
things on eBay for a quarter of the price.
The presenter of this
informercial seemed incredibly enthusiastic about the product. I
suppose she is paid to be. She looked familiar; five minutes on
Google told me that she used to be the "Yes
Car Credit Bimbo".
I then spent much of the
rest of the day giggling. I wonder if many of my loyal readers
remember "Yes Car Credit"? They were a company which
offered loans to the lower orders; their target audience being the
kind of person who would never usually get a loan. Their adverts
featured various scratters asking if they could have extended credit,
to which the "Yes Car Credit Bimbo" would answer
"Yes you can". That was her only line, and she would
repeat it like a stuck record.
As a catch-phrase it
wasn't one that the company had thought through. At the time I
found it rather amusing during the adverts to ask the telly various
foul, perverted pornographic suggestions to which the "Yes
Car Credit Bimbo" would invariably answer "Yes you
can".
At the time I thought it
hilarious. And (to be honest) I still do.
After a hungry morning I
had my coookies and cream shake for lunch, had a sax practice, and
then bought a flapjack as I was so hungry.
I came home and took
"Furry Face TM" for a walk. We
went out through Newtown and investigated the new footpath which
opened last week. A geocache had been hidden down there over the
weekend. Apparently. I couldn't find it.
I scoffed fish cake and
chips (for tea) like a thing possessed, and with "er
indoors TM" off bowling I solved three
geo-puzzles then settled down in front of the telly. It doesn't watch
itself.
And in closing have a
look
at this link. I'm going to be a published author. I'm feeling
rather pleased about that.
