Well, its been a while since I've made a post, so much for the whole make a post everyday thing. Weekends I tend to be out being social with what friends I have, you know the invisible ones in my head? All with their own wacky quirks.
That and doctors, OH LORDY I could go on and on with the doctors and what crazy theories they keep coming up with, I swear they pulled my name out of a jar and then said "Let's mess with this girl."
And mess away they did...still getting tests done but Yes~ Don't have Cancer or PCOS but now they want to send me to a dermatologist, joy, another $200 down the drain~
Righteo, now time for the actual bloggy part of my blog. Remember when I blogged about mall stalls?
Well this week's stall is Foxtel, that's right an advertising placement for Foxtel IQ, Offering free installation, free foxtel IQ free this and free that please don't read our small print just blindly sign the paper stall.
Now me being the friendly little gal I am walked up to the stall and had a nosey, noticing that the guy was having trouble setting it up, he kept getting technical errors.
"You alright? Seem to be having some trouble there." I said, tilting my head to the side to stare into the blue screen of the tv. Heck, even TV's have blue screens of death.
The guy jumped up, and acted as though I never asked the question, "HI THERE! Are you interested in foxtel? We have such and such amazing channels and this and that record live tv, not to mention blah blah blah blah free installation.
You can tell I was paying utmost attention to this mans ramblings, I stopped him and asked. "Do you own foxtel?"
He said no, I asked why, he scratched the back of his head and glanced around, almost afraid, perhaps he was being watched by the higher ups, perhaps he was going to unveil knowledge that was deemed forbidden. He wiped his brow and changed the subject.
"You get three months free!"
I raised an eyebrow and then stated that the programming on foxtel was horrible, things were constantly repeated and there was rarely ever anything new showing.
At this statement he gave another glance around the shops, what had gotten him so scared. "Well..." He began, I leaned in, was he about to divulge this mystifying secret?
"I hope you reconsider next time." He stammered, his voice low, defeated.
Dang, I thought something awesome was going to be said, I went to walk away, bidding him a good day and luck, for the poor bloke would need it.
Just as I turned to walk away, he called out to me.
"Uhm...I agree, I hate foxtel."
I gave a smile, poor, poor guy. Hates the company he works for. I turned and gave him a nod and another smile, "See-ya." I had a smile upon my face, for the lad had stuck up for himself, spoken his mind. Things would surely liven up for me. Little did I know that once my back was turned, he was attacked, jumped by several men cloaked in orange garb, muffling him and whisking him away, more than likely to be brainwashed into loving the Cable TV franchise.
Not much to say really, just another adventure regarding the Mall Stalls~
Hahaha. Poor guy.
ReplyDelete(I have foxtel)
But I only watch the movie channels. Is that bad?
Well tachnichally, my family has foxtel. My dad watches the sport channels. My mum watches the channels that you don't actually have to pay for: abc, sbs etc. My sister watches the music channels? I dunno...
Hmmm. It seems a bit wasteful.
Being from the UK, I have no idea what Foxtel is, I'm guessing it's very similar to "cable" over here - although the way you mention that it is nothing but repeats - i think that is TV in general in good ol' Blighty!
ReplyDeleteAnother great blog though - made me smile after a long day @ work! x
what you should have did is break out into song and scream "FIGHT THE POWA!" followed by creating an angry mob with pitchforks and torches and, although seemingly useless, a Aurora Diamante, the most expensive pen to my knowledge and use it as a grappling hook to climb up Foxtel's castle walls then base jump down the other side. Then you would continue your barrage by coughing all over the executives after contracting the illness that is all the rage, swine flu.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure those guys were cloaked in orange...and not the guys in the white coats....coming to take him away...haha.....
ReplyDeletePoor guy. You make good fodder for a lot of salespeople's lives, ya know....!
@Elfie
ReplyDeleteIt's not really wasteful if you use it, I just don't like the idea of paying for something I am not going to watch all that often~
@M.J.Y

@Shado

@Kath
