Now back to real coffee...I have just started a new job and noted that a colleague who wears shorts to work likes real coffee - the ground stuff. I clocked him and he clocked me clocking him. So now he knows that I know he has a stash of real coffee in his drawer. I am not too sure whether a fascinating story will unfold here but you never know. My question to him is why does he wear a pair of shorts in October?
Another thing...and then it's back to lattes. I was in Waitrose and the check out lady asked me whether I wanted a Bag for Life. A strong plastic carrier bag. So I said 'Will it last 70-80 years?. If it will then it's a good investment for just 10p.' She then explained that I would need to bring the bag back next time I shopped at Waitrose so that I could exchange it for a new Bag for Life, for free.
So it's not a Bag for Life then.

About Me
- The latte days in North London
- So like a lot of people due to funding cuts etc etc I find myself at 42 on the scrap heap. 16 years of experience working in further education....and tbh it wasn't a career choice that I planned after University. I just landed a job and continued to work in the sector going from project to project. Not very exciting you might think and many times I thought the same. So for one reason or another I find myself looking for that job that will excite, entice and appreciate my knowledge and skills. You'd think it was a no brainer but interviews are getting tougher and tougher and no candidate is left unscathed by the process, I'm going to ue this blog to feedback and reflect on each of my interviews and maybe I will learn something on the way on how to clinch that job.

good luck with the job. does shorts man where sandals, and if so with or without socks? when I have this information, i will be able to advise further, but for the time being I would say proceed with caution.
Thank you for your good wishes. Today shorts man was wearing beige. Beige trousers (full of stains) and a beige shirt. He was getting very irate over something trivial. I suggested that I could make him a coffee and whether he wished to share his stash of ground Kenyan. He did reluctantly. We are now comrades. He is at least 95 and a half years of age.
One more thing...shorts man likes to play with a cricket ball. Does that mean anything?
what kind of stains does he have on his trousers? Are they coffee-related?
Whenever I'm in town I love to shop at the 'Trose, and at that other great store Jean Louis. Thanks for giving them a name check, dude!
ah, i think i understand now. shorts man is me, in twenty or so years time. something to look forward to. if i were you, i would cease making any inquiry as to the origin of the stains on his shorts.
Mr Grebson are you 70 years old! You look so young and virtuous in the pic - and it's not in sepia so I am now a tad perplexed.
I moisturize...
