Maybe people ought to come with subtitles...

What a busy day!

With one of the staff off ill, I've been cornering more shifts at work. Which saw me making orders today for specialist boardgames - so we'll soon have Fury of Dracula, Caylus, Mall of Horror, Junta (yes it has been remade!) and a whole slew of other cool games in the store soon. Woop woop!

So while I was there today, Regent guy came in. Now Regent guy is one of the key reasons I keep going back to Regent on Manners. He's cute and always smiles at me when I come in - and I mean a real genuine smile, none of that fake "I'm doing my job" type smiles.

Anyhoop, I have had one conversation with him previously when I happened to be waiting for a movie and he came in wearing mufty... this is when I discovered his flaw. He talks like Brad Pitt's character in Snatch.

Our first conversation was essentially him talking and me nodding like I knew what he was saying.

Today I, the ever suave man around people I'm attracted to, kind of gasped when I saw him and said "well I guess you know where I work now." Along with a weak grin. Real smoooth. He smiled that disarming smile - although it is a little rainmanesque maybe... and nodded. I asked him if he was looking for anything inparticular to which he replied...

"Mimina humina oberen Marvel."

And promptly held up a pack of Marvel-themed playing cards. I smiled, nodded and said "oh well, let me know if there is anything I can help you with."

"Yarrah"

"Right."

And then I promptly high-tailed it out of there because I didn't want to admit that I could barely understand a word he said.

I also have a hard time picking the accent. Kind of a crazy Irishman caught in Siberia while hiding from the KGB tone really. Thick, all over the show and mumbled - just incase the elocution secret police come bursting into the room.

On the bright side, I've made plans to meet Merv next week - this is the nice guy who I've been sharing texts with. All good. :)

Not much else is on my mind at the moment. So I shall take my leave and yapper on later.

Love and Huggles
