In case you are wondering, Robot Ramon is one of the three self checkout machines at the Coop. I forget which one he is, he's never formally introduced himself. I know that the one closest to the door is called Rhonda, and is usually most unhelpful beacause she can't deal with all butter croissants, cause they don't scan and require extra authorisation from the Indian woman at the till. Whatever. The wine was really bad, but it was cheap and helped me to get on schedule for my first night of horrible jet lag. The chips or "STEAK CRISPS" are the WEIRDEST things because they actually do taste like a steak. I suppose I reationalised that sort of gorging after a day on the back of a plane. Thanks American Airlines. My new term's resolution is to completely organise my life, and put all other priorities AFTER that one. So far so good but I already have a cold.
