My Radio

Sunday, 15. November 2009, 07:14:31

I've been having a problem with my "radio" lately. I wasn't able to play loud, then it would cause a terrible sound in the speakers. A dude I know opened it up, and said it was probably a condenser that was broken (right... :confused:) and that it would be too expensive to try to fix it.

Right. I like listening to my music kinda loud. I mean, it's nice when the singer sings louder than me. :D
So I went to the radio store, browsed around a bit to make sure to use the right expressions. I made a note to myself: "I'd like to buy a receiver".

A sales guy approached me, asking if he could be at service. This is how conversation went:

Me: Yes, I'd like to buy a receiver.
Him: How do you receive your signal?
Me: Umm... my signal...? Through cable, I think. Yes, through cable!
Him: Who's the provider?
Me: Ummm... *wondering why the hell he wants to know that* YouSee.
Him: YouSee?
Me: Yes?
Him: They send out both digital and analogue signal!
Me: Okaaaay...? :confused:
Him: You don't have problems watching TV?
Me: I don't know why you ask me about the TV when all I want to do is to listen to the radio!
Him: Radio? But you said receiver!
Me: Yes, because that's what you call the devices I looked at on your shelves over there!
Him: So... radio, huh? Like, a box? I don't think we have that! Hey, Brian...! *he walks away and talks with a colleague*
*he brings his colleague back with him and says* We don't have that, sorry!
Me: But... but... they're on your shelves! *points*
His colleague: Oh, you mean a receiver!
Me: *groaning loudly* Yes please, that's what I asked for in the first place! :rolleyes:
Him: I thought you looked for an antenna... :left:

An antenna... Now where on earth did that come from?!

I hate smartass sales persons that don't listen to the customers!

Oh yeah, I got my receiver! :yes:

Have a fantastic Sunday! :heart:

The Colour Red

I absolutely love the colour red. Always have, always will!



I bought some new things for my kitchen, and red is apparently trendy in the kitchen right now. Good for me - I don't care if red goes out of style sometimes - I still love it.

Check out my new cooking pots:

Not only do they have a nice colour - they are also good quality, with nice soft touch handles. :yes:

The other thing I needed to replace was my old toaster. It could still heat up a piece of bread, but weirdly enough it couldn't toast it. The bread remained white, no matter how long it was on.
Here's my new, fancy one:

Cool, eh?

Oh, did I mention that I love red?

Creative advertising

Wednesday, 21. October 2009, 04:05:46

I like creative advertising. I have an entire album full of photos of creative, funny and/or weird ads.

However, some advertisers can be a little too smart for my likings. Like, when Garnier says in their ad for Fructis hairshampoo: "Fructis. That has been proved" - then it makes me wonder what it is exactly that has been proved...

And the other day in the supermarket, there was a shower cream from Sanex, that made me stop and look one more time. Take a look:


Dermo
re-vital
Omega 6 & AHA



Dermo is something with skin
Re-vital - well, I understand re-vitalizing
Omega 6 is some kind of sebacic acid
And AHA is... umm... yeah, WTF is that???

Is it "Now with AHA"? Or, "AHA, we've got it now!" :idea:

They might as well have written: "Not containing AHA!", and everybody would have thought that it was a good thing is wasn't there...

Mantyhose...

Thursday, 8. October 2009, 04:08:30

I saw something on the 'Net that I've never seen before. The Mantyhose...

I was amazed! Pantyhose for men - is that a good idea or not?
If it's for some kind of medical reason, and it's under pants, then I'm okay with it.
And it's understandable that a truck driver wear support for comfort and circulation. But those are called compression tights. Not at all the same as mantyhose! I've also known a guy who wore nylons under his pants when he delivered newspapers on cold mornings, in order to stay warm. I feel perfectly fine about that too!
But wearing them because they feel good or look nice? And with shorts? Oh no - I don't think so. Mantyhose just doesn't strike me as very fancy.

Pantyhoses are for girls. Just like bras and g-strings.

That's what I think anyway! And that's why I was glad to read that Danish shops don't intend to import them, at least not right now! :up:

Shoes ~ Again

Sunday, 31. May 2009, 05:02:56

There's nothing that cheers you up like a good round of shoe shopping.

I was taking a walk the other day, and on my way home I passed my local shoe shop. They didn't have anything interesting in their show window, but I felt like browsing around in there anyway. So I went in, having a look around. They did have some cool ones, but the ones I fell for were only in sizes smaller than my feet. Typical! :irked:

I was just about to leave the shop, when I saw something. There... up there on the top shelf... A pair of red pumps. Whoa... I liked them right away, but he only had one size displayed, which is never a good sign. I took them down, turned them upside down and I almost couldn't believe my luck: They were my size!

I tried them on before checking the price, and it felt as if they were sewn just for me! I took a walk around the shop in them, and they were just perfect. I knew I wanted them, so even though the price made me gasp, I bought them. I've learned that life is simply too short for crappy shoes.

Here they are:


Cool, don't you think?


It's not often you see shoes from "Fly" here, which is a shame, because they always have some seriously cool details on them.

This is the underside of the shoes. Cool, eh?


That's how easy it was to brighten up a grey, dull day! :happy:



:love:
