headlights

Tuesday, June 09, 2009

good day today, left at 6am for a 730 start, mat, our new recruit was ill so we sent him on his way, i managed to get my tyres at last as the guardia civil are skint and really on the ball at the moment, their duties include stopping you and reminding every driver to use their headlights 24hours a day, a eu law that come into force next year.
hope of a new job coming shortly , anyway thats all for today except for a bit of useless info for those who would like to know where the word ```shit, originated from, tankers used to carry manure by ship or road and because of the methane gas that was produced all persons dealing with transport were given the orders stack high in tankers , shit, another bit of useless info tomorrow

tires..? por favor?

745,am left home to purchase a new tyre, i was told to come back after 5 ,,pm 1,pm tried another outlet i was told none in stock,120,pm found british outlet i was told come back tomorrow,5pm tried in the town, i was told at least 2 hours i agreed i waited half an hour and was told to register at the desk, after 10 mins got some service, i was asked for my nie no,i didnt have it on me so they asked for my passport, didnt have that either, so they asked for my mobile no, didnt have it so i couldnt have my tyre, still all was not lost i went to another 3 outlets and had to wait at least 2 to 3 hours perhaps i should have taken the first and cheapest option, i dont live in mumbai ,this is spain 2009, oh by the way the final straw came when i went to a store i call ´`smileys to get a litre of milk, the checkout girl looked at the line of customers and must have thought im going to get paid whether i serve them or not, and went into i suppose some would call it a coma, for those of you who live in spain this large supermarket chain must recruit spains unemployable at cheap rate youll know when you shop there.

I'm back!
