I will try and not make another one of those stupid fucking 'Christmas Threads' but I think I should bring this up.

Its a tragic loss that Woolies is closing (to non Uk'ers,) Woolworths is a high street store with thousands of branches across the UK employing 30,000 people.  Its 99 years old but is slowly going up shit creek. Its going bust, the administrators were brought in and have failed to find a buyer.  Last week they started a massive sale 'UPTO 50% OFF' the signs say, yeah but thats if you want bollocks like candle stick holders or something.  Everything else is 10-20%

Last night the news was cast that Woolies is now having a closing down sale.  I think its a tragic loss, firstly the history of the company will be gone forever, they are only 3 years older than my company, secondly all those poor barstards working their socks off knowing come New Year they are out on their arses.

Ive just been down to raid the shelves of toys for Jnr 27 for crimbo and it was fucking mental.  I grabbed as much 'Bratz', 'High School Musical' and 'Barbie Dolls' as I could, along with 808 & Heartbreaks (as recommended by MEKanye west himself) and got in the 20min queue.

Now what made me annoyed yet laugh was the dirty fucking asains who were trying to push in where the aisles met at a cross junction.  'Oi, you (poke in the back) the queue starts behind me, get to the back of it', they then pretend they don't know what English is, 'Go on, fuck off cheeky twat'.  This made me into a 1min hero until the next one came along, old grannies and pikeys would say 'Good on you for telling them, I hate that blah de blah'.  Now that bit made me ratty, I'll tell you what made me laugh, you look in the Ninja Womens baskets and what have they got for Christmas..................woh, hold on, they don't even celebrate it.  What the fuck are they doing in the hustle and bustle of xmas shopping queueing for 20 mins??  They got a 15" non stick frying pan in their fucking baskets.  Are they for fucking real or what?  £5.99 becomes £4.79.  Is it fucking worth it, just to fry some fucking banana's or bombay potato up, after all it won't be a Sirloin that Iqubal gets for tea is it?

Now please don't think I am a racist for one single second here I am not.  I just didnt like the way they try and push in pleading igronance, and the stupidity to get caught up in xmas shopping all for £1.19 discount, on a fucking frying pan of all things.

So back to the serious side of it.  I think Woolies are up shit creek because of Music and DVD's.  Its not their fault that creedy cunt music bosses kept the price so high before Napster, Limewire and other download stuff came out but thats when it started.  I used to go in Wollies every Thurs on pay day and hand over £13.99 for Rod Stewarts latest hits, well not him but were talking 15 years ago now.  Greedy music bosses should of dropped the price, I wouldnt of minded too much if Rod himself was getting a fair cut of the cake but we all know it lines the pockets of suit wearing music exec's.

So Woolies has gone, who's next and why?

M&S approx 100 years old
Sainsburys approx 100 years old

I hope its not them two

Condolences go out to any Woolies staff here.

I don't want to sound racist or rude here, but from my experience in Glasgow (probably different from the rest of the world) but these Asian's are probably in there getting shit loads of deals, then take them back to their corner shops and sell them at the original price.

I have seen them do it all the time in Lidl when there are really good deals on drink. They come in, fill a trolley with as much as their white van can handle, and then sell later on.

However, I am not going to say this is bad, as I would be doing the same thing if I had my own shop!

It seems big firms are owed big bucks, I cant help but chuckle

Microsoft is owed around £26million by EUK, Nintendo an estimated £21million and Paramount £32million.

Oh braaah another thing I just remembered.

I got back to work, showed my Sis the bargains I had just purchased and she pissed on my fireworks by pointing out they had charged me twice for the Hannah Montana DS game.  I had to go back down, run the risk of upsetting all the dole'its (obviously not the Ninja's, they dont abide to the rules anyway) and ask for £20 back.  I could of thought 'Fuck That' I am not going back in that chaos again but whats the point of Woolies doing a sale if they gonna charge me £65 instead of £45?

So I went back, like fuck am I queuing up again, I did a wicked move from the side to get to the counter.....'Oi, you there, yes you young girl, wtf you call this?' as I point to my recipt.  She walks over says 'Sorry' and put the wedge back onto my card.

Fair play to this one girl, she has the right idea of how to save Woolies, now if only all the other ugloids who work there took the same initative eh?  Offer 10-20% off but add 30% off when the customer don't look.

No fucking wonder she put the reciept straight into the bag.

So look out for ugly spotty staff and fat Ninja Women!!

I reckon the store will be shut by the time I get there (if the damn Easyjet don't go bankrupt before the trip anyways)  ?

Shit. You may not karma the same person in a 24 hour period.
