I'd never buy on the behalf of a minor unless I get twice the money >:D :-X

When nom went to the liqueur store when I were there I went in discreetely, and leant against a wall (there was a H&M store by the same entrance so I wasn't in the actual store) and when nom got into the line I went outside so we wouldn't leave together :P I got to cuddle with a cute dog <3
... Just because I'm one year (I think) too young to be there ^^'

I have absolutely no idea what you were saying there Kain. And don't buy stuff to minors as that is illegal and wrong. And please do not make it sound like I did something illegal, 'cause I did not. Here it is perfectly legal to treat people who are 18 or older to alcohol, you may just not buy on their behalf. Yes, yes, our rules are weird. You may buy alcohol in bars and restaurants when you are 18, you may also get treated by other adults. And buy low alcohol stuff in stores except the one store that sells stronger alcohol. That you can only do when you are 20.

Chinese tourists are, once again, the most self-entitled sots I have ever had the misfortune to meet. I've served angry Christmas shoppers at Argos who were still nicer than this lot. They did that horrible thing exclusive to Chinese tourists where five of them crowd around the till at once and literally shove things in your face, until I got poked in the eye with a pen and Val actually got her glasses broken by someone waving a model knight into her face, at which point they were forcibly ejected from the shop and several members from the Castle.

The members of the group that were left then went to the War Memorial where they were, according to the stewards, obnoxiously loud, shouting and laughing and making a huge fuss, which is not okay inside of the Memorial. After being asked several times to be quieter, they had to be forcibly ejected again at the request of a group of WWII veterans. These guys visit regularly to remember fallen comrades, and they're always polite and pleasant, so it was quite distressing to see them so upset by this lot being so disrespectful in the memorial.

Then they went to see the Crown Jewels and tried to take photographs, which is actually illegal because it's a security breach. There are signs all over the room in there requesting that you don't take photos, including in Chinese, and again they were asked repeatedly not to and ignored every warning.

Finally, the group tried to go into a staff-only area which is actively roped off and plastered in multiple "STAFF ONLY" signs, and when a steward tried to stop him the leader of the group punched him. At this point, they were all forcibly ejected from the Castle and told not to come back. They spent the whole way out screaming up a fuss about how we were being racist and prejudiced against them for no reason. Guys, you did every single thing you possibly could to make you the worst kid of tourists to have around. You were rude, obnoxious, and attempted to commit a crime in trying to take photos of the Crown Jewels. Stop acting like the whole world is against you.

First time in almost 2 months that I actually manage to go to game, and we're the only ones who show up. As Archi put it "Everybody sucks."
I have finally started to actually publish my story! For the moment, expect a new chapter each month.

The Case of the Midnight Channel
"When a strange letter summons the Mouri family to Inaba, Ran is expecting a case. She's not expecting it to involve the TV, though.
If Naoto investigated everyone who came to visit Inaba, she'd have little time for real cases. When Yukiko reports that the Midnight Channel is back, however, she starts to wonder if the visitors are connected. Especially when the image clears, unveiling yet another mystery."

Short version: I'm taking various DC/MK characters to Inaba (where Persona 4 takes place) and dropping them through the TV to face their Shadows!

My cat was put to sleep today. :(
She got a thrombosis again today despite the fact that she got blood thinners. She also seemed to be in pain so the vet said we should say our goodbyes before she was put down. The whole family couldn't stop crying. :´(
We have had her since I was five and she would have become 15 this summer.

It was actually less of a shock because I already knew she had problems but it was still very sudden.

Spoiler: Chinese tourist story
Chinese tourists are, once again, the most self-entitled sots I have ever had the misfortune to meet. I've served angry Christmas shoppers at Argos who were still nicer than this lot. They did that horrible thing exclusive to Chinese tourists where five of them crowd around the till at once and literally shove things in your face, until I got poked in the eye with a pen and Val actually got her glasses broken by someone waving a model knight into her face, at which point they were forcibly ejected from the shop and several members from the Castle.

The members of the group that were left then went to the War Memorial where they were, according to the stewards, obnoxiously loud, shouting and laughing and making a huge fuss, which is not okay inside of the Memorial. After being asked several times to be quieter, they had to be forcibly ejected again at the request of a group of WWII veterans. These guys visit regularly to remember fallen comrades, and they're always polite and pleasant, so it was quite distressing to see them so upset by this lot being so disrespectful in the memorial.

Then they went to see the Crown Jewels and tried to take photographs, which is actually illegal because it's a security breach. There are signs all over the room in there requesting that you don't take photos, including in Chinese, and again they were asked repeatedly not to and ignored every warning.

Finally, the group tried to go into a staff-only area which is actively roped off and plastered in multiple "STAFF ONLY" signs, and when a steward tried to stop him the leader of the group punched him. At this point, they were all forcibly ejected from the Castle and told not to come back. They spent the whole way out screaming up a fuss about how we were being racist and prejudiced against them for no reason. Guys, you did every single thing you possibly could to make you the worst kid of tourists to have around. You were rude, obnoxious, and attempted to commit a crime in trying to take photos of the Crown Jewels. Stop acting like the whole world is against you.
Oh. My. God.

What horrible, horrible people D:< Seriously, just what? My mouth actually gaped at the punching part. YOU DON'T DO THAT. JESUS CHRIST.

They were generally agreed to be one of the worst groups that anyone working at the Castle's seen, but Chinese tourists in general aren't very pleasant anyway. I seriously wonder if shop assistants are Unpeople in China or something. Today a guy from Hong Kong tried to take a pair of £220 earrings out of the shop to show to his wife, and when I stepped in front of him to stop him (because he was ignoring me calling to him) he pushed me aside. Basic common sense and decency? Hello? Are you in there?
