U*P*D*A*T*E (Heaven forbid... 
)
Slightly strange and sweet moment just happened...
I'd been out on the piss last night and somehow managed to drag myself and Catherine round Manchester to do a bit of shopping. Twas all good. Bagged myself a great pair of Liqour Brand shorts for my holidays and a couple of cheap DVDS (Total Recall being one of them!!!! Wooooo!
)
I got on a different bus than usual which comes through the countryside between town and my house (yes, there IS some..) As I was walking down Folly Lane, about 15 min walk from my place, a little old lady waved at me from one of the downstairs windows of her house. I went up the driveway and she asked me to come to the side door. She was likely in her 90s and she'd been crying. She said she'd run out of cigarettes and her arthritis was giving her terrible pain.
She showed my the type of ones she smoked and asked if I'd go up to the shop and get her some. She gave me a fiver and I agreed to pick her some up. I'm completely sure if it had been some other scumbag they would have just done a runner with her money. I went up to my house and picked up my bike (the shop is well off the main road and set back).
When I dropped her ciggies back with her and she said that it was her THIRD attempt! TWO other complete wastes of DNA had fleeced a poorly old lady out of a fiver today. Makes me so angry....
Although, healthwise, I don't imagine ten menthol are going to make a huge difference to a lifetime smoker I like to think in some way my little good deed goes someway to correct the shite-karma she'd been dished out today.
Anyway... I'm off to see Willy Wonka's burtonesque chocolate factory!! See you all soon!! xxXxxxX
