Girl About Town - London Town

Truthful Tuesday

You know what I hate. I hate that I can NEVER tell when the battery on my iPod is going to run out and I get stuck mid stride on my walk either to work, or home from work, with it just conking out on me. Making me pause and silently swear internally at myself on every occasion.

I miss my old Sony Walkman that played tapes. You KNEW when the battery was going to run out on them babies, as everything would slow down to a *war-war-warrrrr* sound and you could get a bit more juice out the battery by half holding down the play button to get the song up to regular speed, making sure not to press too light or it would be too speedy!

In any event, iPod or Sony Walkman I will still always shake the shit out of the device when the battery goes in the hopes that it will give me a bit more power.

I will never learn.

Truthful Tuesday

One of those ladies in the perfume department in a store offered to spritz me today with Madonna’s purfume “Truth Or Dare”.  

I make it a rule never to get spritzed because if I don’t like the smell then I’m stuck with it all day so I asked her to spray some on those paper sticks they have.  One swift whiff and I scrunched my face up and said the first thing that came into my head, which was  - “Oh my God that stinks of piss!” (because it did).  The lady said “Well I can see what you mean madam, it IS very Gardenian, it’s full of Gardenia flowers”.  I said “Oh, are they those flowers that stink of piss then?”

She didn’t know what to say. 

I gave it an “Erghh” sound, handed her back the stick and walked off.  

I was disgusted. 

I was in Harrods. 

I stand by my “never get spritzed rule”
