todayiamadaisyToday as I walked past a shop called Green Bamboo Massage, the young man sitting at the reception desk was looking at his reflection in the window and squeezing a pimple on his chin. Charming.
Yesterday I saw an advertisement* for something called Easy Meals. Just add water to the packet and enjoy your reconstituted meal. Not my cup of tea, reconstituted or otherwise, and I would normally ignore it. But something about it caught my eye: their slogan of Eat now, pay later. I'll let their website explain more:
The best part about Easy Meals is that you can eat now and pay later. All you have to do is choose your meals and we will deliver them to your door and then let you pay the total price off over 10 fortnightly payments.
That's just... a spectacularly bad idea.
My top recommendation from Amazon today is called The Duckling Gets a Cookie. Thanks for the vote of confidence in my reading abilities, Amazon.
* Found it! It was this advertisement. Savour that acting. I actually laughed out loud when she opens the cupboard and shows her beautifully-arranged shelf of Easy Meals. And watching it again now, it looks like there's another shelf full of Easy Meals below the first one. She really likes her Easy Meals.
