  • The Chronicles of FackingHell - Bottlerack Blues

    by FackingHell on August 28, 2006
    So there I was, Brousing the shelves of Bottlerack, I Picked up a 6 pack of strongbow and took it to the check out. I flipped out my wallet and got the proper sum of money out give or take a few pence and the old woman (who must have been going on in her late 70's or early 80's) asks me for id. And this is the first time Ive een asked for ID in almost 10 years! Shocked I said to her, "Do I look under 18?" and she says "We have to ID everyone under 21"annoyed now (Especially as im not a small man) I produce my driving license and am on my way, wondering whether I actually looked that young. Then just as I was thinking that The guy behind me who must have been in his 40's with Grey hair wrinkles and a large Mustach and she asks him "Have you any ID?" I mean, I know they are trying to cut down on numbers of illeagle drinkers but getting blind people to work behind the Till is ridiculous.

  • The Chronicles of Fackinghell - The ballad of HMV

    by FackingHell on August 25, 2006
    Ive decided that I hate HMV, I went there the other day to get some CD's, and after half an hour or so of brousing the "Indie/Pop Rock" and "Urban" sections I deducted that there was no Folk section, So between choosing the stairs and just going off to the shop down the road I decided to be adventurous and took a step up into the unknown. And so my quest continued up the stairs of HMV, and what did I find... Nothing other than the "Dance & R'n B" and "Metal" sections. Enfuriated by this I decided to go home and throw a brick through the window of HMV the following morning before work. But then I noticed another staircase in a dark corner practically hidden by a shelf of shitty B movie DVD's... Well the door didnt have an "Employees only" sign on it so i decided to go up the stair case.. When i got the top I discovered a dusty old room which no one had been in for what must have been.. hours, which is quite a long time considering how busy the shop was downstairs, and what did I find, Jazz and Classical music sections, knowing to myself that Jazz and classical music are both shit I decided to go with the brick plan when I noticed a dark corner which was practically hidden by a shelf of some stupid Mozart Vinyls. And so I threw this out of the way, smashing it into a million pieces and what do you know! The Blues and Folk section containing all of a dozen Cd's, And so I bought the Alan Lomax Song Book, Woody Guthrie and Blind Willie Mctell Cd's and went on my way... Needless to say I didnot throw a brick through their window or leave a bag of flaming shit on their doorstep. And so ended my quest with a trip to the pub followed by 8 hours of sleep and work the following morning...
