Just went home for lunch, Tash was there with a package. This package contained some flip flops Tash has kindly purchased for me. I tried them on and they were okay, one of them was slightly frayed though at the bit which goes inbetween your big toe and the toe next to it. We debated whether to send them back or not, personally I think we should and that is what is going to happen.
However in the interim period we discussed whether I in fact liked them at all. I stick by my synopsis that they are just alright, but Tash kept probing. In the end, although I knew she wouldn't like it, I said I'd prefer a pair which supported my heels a bit better. I then told Tash to ring British Gas and pay the bill. Anyway the long and short of it is that I did get called an ungrateful git.
On Saturday we had a little trip down to the local shop. We cycled and I went on this rather awkward fold up bike Tash has, I can tell you now never to purchase a fold up bike, they are shit. So, we got to the shop and I got my stuff and went and waited outside by the bikes. I waited and waited, and eventually Tash emerged from the shop.
I then started complaining bitterly about the amount of time she's taken, as we cycled down Victoria Road. "Oh come on Steve, one of these days someone is going to tell you that you are a real bastard", that's what she said. I remarked that I didn't care if they did it wouldn’t change my opinion on the ridiculous amount of time she just spent in the local shop. She then said that I was a "barking bastard". So, now whenever I do anything that is wrong or could be construed as me being a little sod I can just say that I'm a barking bastard, so that's a good excuse.
I in fact used this excuse when Tash was watching the program "I'll do anything", which I hate. I just sat there making comments and saying the songs they were singing were awful. My main complaint was the gestures and expressions on the singer’s faces that were really "overstated", in my own words. Why does she have to have that look on her face? When Tash said she didn't do this to me when I was watching the cricket I just said "yeah, but I'm a barking bastard". I used this excuse during Eurovision as well when Tash spilt Coca Cola Zero all over the table and I said "what did you do that for, for God's sake".
