Just got back from the shopping. This really miserable looking fecker was there with his wife and kids. The wife takes them on one of these rides you get outside the shops and miserable git stands watching them, scowling. The kids needed to feel someone was enjoying their fun, so I waved and clapped. Had a quick word with his wife when they finished the ride - she seemed really nice. But mardy bloke drags them all off - obviously no time in his day for pleasantries and fun. I tried a cheery "Be happy", but happiness clearly wasn't on his agenda. Shame really.

The husband was probably upset that the ride was restricted to under 7s, so he didn't get a go.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
