Rock n Roll Lifestyle

is not how mine can be described. Last night saw me ironing, whilst listening to The Clash playing White Riot, I Fought the Law, London's Burning etc etc. The irony of it hit me part way through. Later saw me watching another TV programme: QI (an old episode being repeated). This is a recent find of mine. It's a sort of panel/quiz show. Yet with a strange approach. One of last night's questions was why should a ship's captain be concerned about carrying a cargo of pistachio nuts? It turns out that according to some maritime code they are classed as a dangerous cargo. Large quantities can apparently spontaneously combust! Pistachios are also not technically a nut. Neither are coconuts, they are berries! Another fact learnt last night was that balsa wood is technically a hard wood! Many interesting facts (hence QI: Quite Interesting) were gleaned. I was struck by something during the ad breaks. They were advertising kids chocolate bars, even though it was almost midnight! Then I realised the target market: stoners with the munchies! Why haven't the large petrol retailers picked up on this market too? After say 10pm, stop pimping us really expensive petrol and start with adverts like: "24 hour garages, we sell chocolate, snacks and cigarette papers! You know you want some now!" I remember many a visit to the all night garage, and there was always someone who would finish off their order with "Oh yeah and a packet of blue papers!" This is an untapped market. In fact forget you read this, I'm off to patent the idea now!
