Its a funny old game

Nice one. Good work Tightend.

I'm slightly misrepresented at the end of it though.

I didn't shout at the kind men and woman of Kentucky. I actually didn't speak to them at all. Too busy giggling manically, finding the concept of fried chicken disprortionately hilarious to it's actual comic value.

Jo had to order for me in the end, as I couldn't string a sentence together and was running out of oxygen.

I don't really think the tale casts you in a good light tank.  May be worth Tightend clarifying/revising the article if artistic licence has been employed. Lighthearted alcohol fuelled mockery to some may be interpreted as demeaning, boorish and insulting by others.

Great blog, and I can totally understand where you are coming from because poker has allowed me to make loads of friends and have an active social life, whereas before I'd have nothing to do, and no-one to do it with. I love the blonde bashes and p4c events.

Keep the entries coming Richard x

Tightend,

excellent read, the best I have read yet...tried ardently to fault it, and failed. The honesty/open-ness (or however that is spelled/spelt?!?) is very refreshing to read

regards

yes, a little poetic licence and a little misunderstanding on my behalf. Apologies to tank and no offence was meant to those working there

I think its just one of those things where I have a perspective from the other side of the counter from my student days which leaves me a bit po-faced when it comes to this type of tale.  I'm sure it wasn't written with any intent to offend and rest assured theres a lot worse that can happen to shop staff.

Dan there was a cracker in a Glasgow paper today, thought you'd like it.

Partick Underground station, guy goes to the ticket window, slams down his money & demands "Single". The wee woman, while getting his ticket says, "That's a shame, but if ye improve yer manners you might get a girlfriend sometime". Exit rude bloke, red faced

I've been looking at some guys blog for calling me a twat. Hoping that I get served up a spit burger.

I worked in Mcdonalds for over 4 years. I used to own the weekend nightshift. It was hard work, we took torrents of abuse. We were professionals though and never did anything to the food of even the biggest twats. (Milkshakes are a different story)


No matter how pissed I am, I would never shout at someone for doing their job, for the sake of a cheap laugh. I have empathy with those behind the counter, not a superiority complex.

I wasn't so much drunk (can remember eveything that happened, only slightly tipsy) as in a giggling hysteria. When you find something really funny and are doubled over laughing.

At no point did I converse with any of the staff in the shop, let alone shout. I knew I wouldn't be able to order without collapsing in a fit of hysterics. A friend ordered for me. Jo, Jaggers, Mel and Sophie should be able to testify to that.

What actually happened was that I came out of the shop (for some air) and told the waiting Tightend in the car about why I was giggling. It would have been easy for me to misrepresent events, between bursts of laughter, and may have shouted (to make myself heard over my own giggling) the punchline.

I've spoken with tightend and don't mind a little poetic licence remaining in his entry, even though it provokes guys who don't know me into calling me a twat and wishing the saliva of others upon me. After all, it was how I represented events to him. Communication is difficult when in the throws of hysteria.

I'd been physically assualted 17 times during the course of my fast food career. At the end of a nightshift, if the biggest twat of the night just shouted that he wanted chicken, it was a good night.
