Mad love for Pepsi Max

Pepsi createI converted into drinking Pepsi Max ever since I started college as I noticed it had QR codes on them. Ever since I noticed this fact I tried collecting each different bottle design as they had artwork from different artist. I failed really badly at this as the college only stocked two of the designs in their shop and venders. I much perfer the taste of Pepsi to anything Coke sells.

If only I was paid to create this post, I was only inspired to post about Pepsi as I got money from parentals to get a create of the stuff from the sad Woolworths closing down sale that is going on. Mad that I paid a whole £18 quid for 24 bottles but I am making a saving somehow as it normally a £1 a bottle in college.

Woolworths nearly empty

Woolworths emptyOn the process on picking up the Christmas meat from the butchers that my mom ordered I discovered with my Dad that Woolworths was quite empty now. They started putting stock from their Argos copycat catalogue at the front of the store which is strange and the back of store is empty apart from having cheap earphones and the HD cable I needed. I’m guessing that stock has been returned back to somewhere.

It was quite a shock as when I last been there recently it was quite full still. They must of discounted things even more than before. It came to the point now where they selling the fixures of the store and as a child growing up with their store, I never of dreamt that as a teenager I could buy a store shelf from them.  I took pictures of some of the place being empty as its upsetting when you finally can see in vision that it shall be gone by 2009.

Farewell good old Woolies.. You shall be missed by me.

Stoking things up

Last night I arrived back from my week trip in Stoke-on-Trent. In this post I shall briefly cover the whole week and compact things down little. It was a fabulous week though and shall come up again another time soon in the future.

On Saturday I arrived late morning and I didn’t do much apart from settling in to the house and stocking up things like bread and butter. I had such a nice breakfast which was a meatball sub from Subway. I enjoyed every bite as I was so hungry. When I arrived at the station, I changed the return ticket to move it a day later and was chuffed that I ordered a 1st class ticket. It costed me a £10 fee.

On Sunday I shoved some newspapers in some of the nearby house and was relived when my sister announced to me that she fed up with that job as it the winter and not as safe or fun as it is in the summer. Some of the places on the route got really steep hills and I do wonder how she hasn’t broken her neck so far.

On Monday I think I just lazed about and watched Saw because it was on television and I just found it was mainly gore. I really liked the concept behind the movie but I would never ever want that to be real life though.I think I would of been really confused about the whole thing if I didn’t look up the movie on wikipedia.

On Tuesday, I went into Keele and went in to the coffee place to meet my sister as she went in by motorbike. She was a tiny bit annoyed to find it was snowing outside because of it but she enjoyed it and proceeded to write a lovely message to her girlfriend which was sweet. I think I dropped into NAGs to see how they were doing but I didn’t notice a tweet to say there wasn’t any room because my small Acer One battery ran out. I also DJed at KRAP. It was very old school as I just shoved my sister cds in a bag and catch the bus as I didn’t have the time to listen some tunes and burn a cd. The stuff you DJ with is quite easy to work.

On Wednesday, I co hosted a show at lunch time on Keele’s student radio station. It was great fun but my finger aked afterwards cause I was forced to be refreshing the messages page cause a fault with the server meant that the station was running on temp server whilst they sort the problem out.

On Thursday, I went to Alton Towers. I shall talk on this futher on another post as it deserves a post for itself.

Then on friday, I went into Hanley. Look around in the shops and found myself a hulk cap that I liked and Much Ado about Nothing on DVD which shall be useful for revising English at home. I was well chuffed by the discount of 50p. Yeah! I can spend this 50p on a chocolate. The train arrived 20 min late in the evening but the 1st class travel was great. they improved muchly since was time I 1st classed it up. They had food I liked for once and I had my money worth of ‘freebies’ they offered.

So yeah. that was my week off spent in Stoke. I enjoyed every second of it but now I got to live with the fact that I got some typing up to do. Oh well.. better get stuck in!

Dangerous sounds alright sometimes

As I went to Swindon yesterday to stock up on cheap chocolate from the Cadbury store. I decided that Oxford would be a better bet to quickly get a different watch before school starts tomorrow.

My sister said she wouldn’t mind coming with me, so I got a lift to the car park for the park and ride. I was abit annoyed when I noticed the park got rasied from 50p to a pound.

We had to dash to get to the bus before it set off. I got in to Oxford around late morning. The first task was get a watch. We looked around clothes shops like Next (too boring watches), Topman (didn’t have any), Gap (yet again, they sell none), then I went into River Island. I saw a watch I wanted there and brought it for about £20. I gave my sister the money in hope she could give me a NUS discount.. They don’t do it, oh well. Read More
