Was it the one I used to work in, or the one in your neck o'woods? I dunno if the one over your way has a manager at the mo,.
My neck of the woods - and I've also heard that there is a stand-in manager.
The whole place looks a bit of a mess to be honest - they've got the pile 'em high sell 'em a bit less expensive Christmas rejects in the main entrance surrounded by.......... nothing! The effect is a cheap jumble sale.
Share price could continue to fall - what is the point of four kinds of panettone if they run out of milk and orange juice?
Hmmm, last night i had two excrutiating moments, that have really played on my mind...
At the wedding I got chatting to a couple who were sat next to me at the meal, and later on in the night, she said the dreaded words:
'Can I ask you something?'
I thought 'Shit, I know what might be coming...' Heart goes in to overdrive.
'Are you gay?'
Heart in mouth moment, as it was at the table with the boyfriend of my friend's sister. I didn't really respond either way, and the whole experience was awful.
In one way, I should have just said yes, but I couldn't because noone else there knows, and my parents know the parents of the bride, and I just feel it could have been oh-so-awkward, especially as my friend isn't in the know.
And then, later on, I was talking to another guest, who I went to school with, who had a civil partnership to his other half last year, and they are now husband and husband. I don't know how, and can't remember all of the conversation now, but we got on to talking about the gays at school, and how he isn't aware of anyone else being gay, except for the two of them.
This was a perfect opportunity for me to say something, and I tried to slip it in to the conversation at the where he was saying that sometimes he finds it really hard to believe he is the only one.
Maybe he was trying to give me a nudge, I don't know, but I made a sortof flippant comment about 'him deffo not being the only one' but he didn't take me up on it.
My hangover head hasn't helped either of these situations today, and don't know what to think, or do, or say.
In situation one, I am not likely to see the girl again, and the sister's boyf on the table will probs not remember, as he was pished then, and on his way to much further drunkedness!
ooooh quite awkward, but evidentally people have their ingclings so maybe it could actually be helpfull as its a way of beginning to 'come out' to a few of them.
Cheers guys - I know where are coming form, and I guess, part of me is kicking myself today for not just saying it.
However, the folks issue is still an issue to me, and I just don't want to be living at home when the moment comes for them to be officially in the know, if you know what I mean?
I don't really have any more of a rational reason than that, if I need to try and make a reason for it? :-/

We can understand that Ben, makes sense. I reckon they probably already know and are just leaving it up to you to tell them. Let's face facts you are hardly sitting there telling them all about the birds you have been stuffing eh?
