« Update | Main | The Perfect Storm of Grumpiness »

Just kick me in the head and be done with it.

I got up late and realized that my bus pass expired yesterday.  So I had to dig through the change bucket to find bus fare and then planned to go to the newsagent to renew the bus pass after work.

Went to the newsagent, and it is shut down.  Penicuik went from having one inconvenient place to refill a bus pass to having no place to refill a bus pass,.  

So I went to the grocery store to spend some money and at least get some change.  I bought a bag of something labeled "Twiglets" with the description "crunchy savoury wholewheat snacks."  I brought them home and opened up the bag.  With no warning anywhere but the ingredient list, it turns out they're marmite flavored.  I can't eat them.  Maybe I can scatter them in the garden to repel slugs or something.

It has been a sucky day.  Now I have to go find something to kill the lingering flavor of diseased ass from my mouth.

so, are you going to review the "Twiglets" for your Bristish food experience page? Or is "diseased ass" all you got?

Thanks for the warning on Twiglets...I shall be on the lookout to AVOID such.

I have to say I am an absolute die hard fan of twiglets but then I also love marmite. Twiglets are very much a personal taste. You either love them or hate them, there is no middle ground.

It is really sad what is happening to the centre of Penicuik. It is fast becoming a ghost town. That said, the people of the town and surrounding area only have themselves to blame. No-one shops there any more because of the love of out of town shopping malls. A town cannot survive without custom. The other problem is that the rents for retail units are so high nobody, except assisted charity shops, can afford to pay them. Out of town shopping is a pain when you have to rely on public transport but most families have one if not two cars these days.
