Melonius- please don't worry about it, mate! The fun thing about these boards is that we can have a multitude of discussions on the same board- the moment I decided to use it for a whinge you had a good topic too. So no worries there at all- and thank you very much for your wellwishes.
Finished my first day off- a lot of work awaiting me but there's a good atmosphere in the place I am in now so all may turn out OK after all. I am pretty knackered though.....

Well, I'm in the new shop for a few days now and it's a mixed bag...a good mix though.
I have a hell of a job in front of me pulling this one on the rails as it is overstocked to the eyeballs with crap CDs....
But my manager is a guy I know well and I can have a larf with on a dauly basis...plus no more nightshifts and no more weekends!
So things may not be as black and white....but the commuting still SUCKS ARSE!

I think things will work out for you, maarts. I really wish I still worked in a record store.

Guess it all comes down to finding the positives....like sitting on the porch, a beer in reach and watch the sunset over the valley.
I can live with anything else after that.

What's the definition of 'prostitute'? Does it come close to something like this article?
A teenager who sold her virginity online for £8,800 has revealed the details of her tryst with the winning bidder.
Alina Percea, 18, auctioned her virginity on a website so that she could afford to pay for her computing degree.
The winner of the auction was a 45-year-old Italian businessman but she had no qualms about going through with the deal.
The businessman from Bologna paid for her to fly to Venice where the couple toured the sights before spending a night in a luxury hotel.
Alina, who underwent two medical examinations to prove her virginity, said: 'I liked the man and got on with him well. He didn't look 45, and he seemed much younger.
'We spoke in English as I can't speak Italian and he can't speak Romanian. He paid me a lot of compliments throughout the day, and he was very funny and charming. We got on very well, and I was pleased he'd won.
He told me he had a good job, but he didn't say if he was married or had a family, and I didn't ask him.'
Alina left her home town of Caracal, Romania, in January with two cousins, to find work in Mannheim, Germany, but lost her job in a restaurant because her German was too poor.
She was inspired to auction herself on a German erotic website after reading how American woman Natalie Dylan, 22, from San Diego, had put her virginity up for sale for £2.5million.
The Romanian had hoped to raise as much as £50,000 through the controversial sale but still plans to go to university.
'The bidding lasted two weeks,' she told Closer magazine.
'It started off at 90p but within a couple of days it was almost at £4,400.'
'The winner was a new bidder, who appeared right at the end of the auction.

Never having been much of a fan, I was surprised that I could fairly easily think of ten MJ songs that I would put on a list like this. So, in no particular order:
~~~Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
~~~She's Out of My Life
~~~Man in the Mirror
~~~Smooth Criminal
~~~Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
~~~Billie Jean
~~~Leave Me Alone
~~~Bad
~~~We Are the World
~~~Black or White
I realize that "We Are the World" isn't actually a Jackson solo effort, but he was such a big part of the USA for Africa project that I gave it to him anyway.

- Rock With You
- Beat It
- Billie Jean
- Dirty Diana
- The Lady In My Life
- Black Or White
- I'll Be There (....w/the J5)
about the most listenable ones to me that wouldn't make me change the station if they came on.

Wow, there sure were some gems in there, weren't there? I like those lists... Gotta have Thriller in there, for sure. I loved it that he got Vincent Price to do the spoken part in that: all that, "..The mighty funk of 10 thousand years.." stuff. Man, Vincent Price! Icons and icons...

The homosexual community is celebrating, no doubt. Now if we could get her and Cher to record a duet.
