Welcome back to my little corner of the World wide web.
My Mum has not been very well of recent and spent a night in Hospital. I cannot remember the name of her medical problem, but it sounded bad and gave her a great deal of pain. She is out now and taking life easy, as she should. Its just not nice to hear about these things. Have a speedy mend Mum.
It has been a busy month this month. We have got to do some Still life images and new look galeries stuff for the flowers. I am running a month behind with publishing the model pictures as this October we shot Manchester's finest, Fern Thompson. All of the pictures have been edited, but I will wait until the end of this November coming to show you all as I still have not shown the Septembers Munira Model work. Also I have no shoots at all in November, so it will be a catch up. You can see Muniras pictures and slide show below.
So I have picked a fight with a local branch of McDonalds. So the story goes that once a month, when I go out to collect the flowers to photograph, I treat myself to a McDonalds Sausage and egg McMuffin meal. For the last three months that has not been a straight forward task. On the first occasion I discovered when I got home that they had forgotten the sausage meat and was a bit disappointed. Never the less I had already got home and figured it was a one off and shit happens as they say. To my shock and horror the same happened again the next month and this time they also forgot the hash brown. I was livid. I telephoned the branch of McDonalds and complained, to which the manager made a note of it and said next time I was in the restaurant I could have a free McMuffin meal. This brings us up to date. When I claimed my free McMuffin meal from them, only to find when I got home that they had once again forgot the sausage filling. Now is it just me? Or am I just the worlds biggest bad luck bastard? Maybe they have a vendetta against me? Who Knows? One accident … okay that can happen. A second accident looks suspitious but a third time in a row must mean they have serious issues and I cannot help but wonder how many more customers have had this experience with McDonalds? I did call the restaurant again, but was met with a belligerent, attitude by the management. This only served piss me off more, So I called the head office in London. They did not take it to serious either, but promised to send me a complaints form via email. That was last Friday. Its now Tuesday and I am still waiting. Now in the big scheme of the universe its a petty matter, but the principal is not that its a piece of missing sausage – So what, who gives a shit ! Its the fact that it keeps happening to me, And I am not getting what I have paid for. I don't go out often these days, so I look forward to the visit to my local MacDonalds only to find they keep short changing me every time and do not seem to give a toss.
So I shall have to call the head office again and take it all the way up to Ronald McDonald the smiling clown himself. Watch this space.
