hirezRound the corner from the house is a strange pound-shop run by a cheerful bearded fellow. I know that I'm supposed to find pound-shops a terrible sign of poverty and wossname and should probably be aspiring to shops selling coffee with complicated names and Mac accessories, but they're usually filled with mad objects. If you've got the right sort of mind, which is probably a whole other ramble.
I don't know about you lot, but it's a sign of something or other when you can buy 99pee USB accessories.
He also had a pile ("Eleven pallets out the back, mate. Bargain!") of mugs with various corporate logos. So I had to get several. Obviously. Pick of the bunch are the black ones that were supposed to have the complete periodic table on them. However, these just have the two rows of interesting elements from along the bottom, like wierdly minimalist green teeth. (Yes, I have people in mind for those)
Then there's the 'Corporate Technical Services' ones. That to me sounds like some shadowy black-clad IT team who carry out wet ops.
(They probably empty the dustbins, but that sort of thinking would indicate the wrong sort of mind, as mentioned above.)
There are many others. I shall go back in search of dead dotcom ephemera.

Date: 2006-02-11 04:32 pm (UTC)the best shop in the world is Active Surplus, though. old HDs, military lasers, and teddy bear eyes, all in random bins.
