At the Cooperative Bank
What with officially living in sin, we're getting a joint account for mortgage, bills and that. Lots of people say the Cooperative Bank is good, so that's where we'll be taking our custom with joint money things. I had to go and show my ID to complete the process so I presented my passport and we were on our way.
Lunch at the Town Hall
We bought sandwiches from Pret a Manger - tres bon - and decided to take them to Albert Square to eat them.
It was a bit noisy (music) as we approached and it was apparent that there was a gathering in the town hall square. It was the Palestinians; they had flags, they were dancing to traditional music. I was wondering whether the demonstration of traditional Palestinian music would be followed by a demonstration of traditional Palestinian suicide bombing, it was just followed by a traditional demonstration march.
As the march proceeded past us, it was quite noticeable that 98% of the demonstrators were white, middle class British people. They trundled off towards Deansgate, led by two mounted police officers; their horses depositing a good load of poo for the following crowd to march through.
I was concerned that I'd be filmed by the anti terrorist squad, shoving a chocolate slice in my gob. Oh the indignity.
I'm sure it's six of one half a dozen of the other when it comes to the problems between Israel and the Palestinians, but I really don't think your average Chorlton-dwelling British leftie has any right to demonstrate one way or the other. They can happily go about their daily business, go shopping, enjoy a coffee or a drink in their oh-so-swanky bars without much fear that some twat will come and blow themselves up next to them.
Mustn't have been much worth looking at in today's Guardian... as if there ever is.
Waterstones
Trump wanted to buy a book so we went to Waterstones, using the back entrance to avoid the Chorlstinians on their demo.
Can we all see what's wrong with this photo?
Yes, look who's visiting on 17th June - Sting.
Why? To enjoy a delicious cup of coffee perhaps? I'm guessing he's got a book out. I'll be hurrying myself along to buy that one on my way to signing up for a lifetime's subscription to Socialist Ecowarrior Weekly.
Why can't they invite somebody good, for fuck's sake?
At the Cworp (that's Swinton for "Co-op")
We nipped into the Coop on the way back to the car. The Co-op shop is next to the Co-op bank - they're linked and you can walk from the bank to the shop without going outside. Good eh?
Anyway, what with their ethical nature and that, I was surprised to see them sell Nescafe. And what with their so-called eco-friendly credentials, I was shocked and appalled to find the onions we bought were from New Zealand.
What's that about?
Footie
Euro 2008 has started. I love these big tournaments, even more so when England haven't qualified. We don't get any of those dickhead flying car flags or St George's flags from their bedroom windows. Nor do we get all the ridiculous hype about a mediocre team of prima donnas. Instead, we'll get some decent football and hopefully Italy will win!
Coldplay on iTunahs
I saw the TV commercial for the new Coldplay album download from iTunes.
Are they trying to look like U2?
I hate them, really, really hate them. Boring, awful RUBBISH music. AND it's being played all the frigging time on all the BBC radio stations at the moment.
Somebody help me.

Wow! Sting!!
I'm joking of course. He's a boring git and his music is soooo dull - as are Coldplay. Shite the lot of them.
We went to where?
Manchester?
Eh? You fucking live there!
Is it a wimmin and navigation thing?
Oh and Sting's a cunt and a fucking dickhead of the highest order.
and Yay! to England not playing footie. Fucking useless wankers.
We live in fucking Levenshulme, it's a shithole. Anything that involves us locking the front door behind us = going out.
Joint accounts... next thing you know you'll be getting married. What's the world coming to?
I'd never have a joint account with the Nemesis because he'd spend every penny I have.
Ohhh, time to go get my hair cut.
Ta-ra
We're keeping out own accounts too, we're not that daft. TSK.
Coldplay is shite, and they've always sounded like a cheap rip-off of U2. Actually, I don't like U2, either, so there you go.
I like the concept of separate accounts & one joint one for household stuff. I wish I'd been intelligent enough to insist on that back when the WCM and I were mingling our monies.
