I work next to a mental

and I'll have to type this quick because he comes in late everyday but sits next to me. The guy has been here 3 weeks now I think, and has gone from entertainingly mental to worrisome. Bug eyed skinny Phil Mitchell alike, he has the worst kind of Yorkshire accent where he seems to think he doesn't need to say half the words in his sentences. Other fun traits:
He used the phrase 'Paki shop' twice in quick succession, with our Indian colleague sat on the desk right behind us (I know the difference but I'm sure it wasn't fun for her).
One time I'm sure I looked over and he'd been crying.
He takes mobile calls just at his desk, and doesn't understand how to internet-skive without making it obvious (he's blowing my cover that I do very little here).
He's going to Bracknell (from Leeds!) in one day to as he graphically put it 'plough' a married woman he met on Facebook.
He checks out hooligan websites at work.
He relentlessly googles his own postcode then tells me really messed up stories about the people he lives near. Most are racial/fighty in nature.
He, almost inevitably, voiced his support for the BNP on local election results day. I did my best to calmly state an opposing opinion. He swore under his breath and balled his fists up.
Stupid job.

Haha

Where do you work in Leeds?

My boss in my old department used to regularly come in with black eyes on a Monday morning because he'd been fighting with the fans of whoever were playing Leeds on the weekend.

He's now got his girlfriend pregnant and is shitting it bigtime :D


Rent Service

on Eastgate. Leeds fans, can't live with 'em, find it difficult to toss them out a window. They're wiley. One of the stories, while light on detail, seemed to be about a friend of his whose teenage daughter was sexing a guy who was 21. He told me that I'll 'see it all on t'evening news when that one boots off', which I assume means stairwell nonce-bashing to which I think legally I'm now an accessory because he told me.
Fuck knows what another generation of these cretins will be like.


In fairness,

he'll probably do alright in Bracknell.


Think I applied for a job there once upon a time

didn't even get an interview :(


Have his

he might make you fight him for it though.


I'd much rather work on Eastgate

that the ghetto that is Sandway Business Centre...


Sandway,

there's a place to do b'niz. The best thing about Eastgate is walking past the masses huddled around Primark every morning before opening. Because that purchase just couldn't wait until 9.05am?


He'd go to Bracknell voluntarily?

Clearly a level 7 mental.


After he's had illicit homewrecker sex........

he can go for a jaunt up to the John Nike Leisure Centre.

What a day!


Do Bracknell

still have an ice hockey team? I went to watch them once when I was a young 'un facing the mighty hometown Basingstoke Beavers.


They're the Basingstoke Bison now.......

even the locals started to figure out the obvious pussy jokes.


I assume so

the Bracknell Bees I reckons.


Yeah,

it was the Bees. And that's a damn shame about the Beavers. When did anyone see a bison lollping around Festival Place? That's just ridiculous.


To be fair, I've seen a fair number of moose

trundling through their cradling a KFC value bucket in one hand and cuffing a feral child around the head with the other.


Good ol' festival place!

I haven't been back home to the south east in about 4 months. :S


I'll fill you in on what you've missed.........

Andover has a new ASDA, I saw a truly BEAUTIFUL girl in the Agincourt (No, srsly!) and Reading has a new Subway...by which I mean the sandwich franchise rather than an underground mass transit system.


It's on that road that leads to TGI Friday......

y'know the Reading Festival death march route.


I used to work down the road from there

by Caversham bridge. That seems like aaaaages ago.


True,

though I'd say the beavers were more populous


or Coral Reef

Swimming Centre

Man, that place takes awesomeness to a new level. Three slides, an outdoor bit, a FREAKING PIRATE SHIP

Awesome


I went there recently

and it was about a third of the size I remembered it being, and people weren't allowed on the pirate ship.


WHAT?!

You werent allowed on the ship?
That was the best part, on the ship with the water cannons shooting people.

I can never go back can i


I have a friend like you are describing

he used to tell old racist jokes all the time.
the problem here is that he was in a home where the truly dumb arseholes that looked after him would tell such jokes and then send him off out into Brixton.
He doesn't have a full grip on things and actually has the mental age of a 10 year old.

... oh I have just realised you don't mean 'a mental' in Ricky Gervais Office style.. I will stop writing now.

opps.
