Today was a good day : Edited.

Not only did I have to go and pick up "several boxes" from a Soho
bookstore, but I got some free vids into the bargain.

I had to go to a book store in Brewer St. and in my ignorant naivety I
thought this was to be an ordinary book store. Not so. It was a sex
shop. It displayed images on the covers of books I'd not even imagined
and when the bloke said "you need to go downstairs, mate" for the
collection I dutifully went there and what a feast beheld my eyes. There
was toppo porn on several T.V screens in there and I had the pleasure of
having a good look while the stuff was getting ready. I was only
slightly perturbed when the bloke said "Wait here until someone gets you
and then we can give you a hand".

I must have picked up around 1,000 DVDs of good quality looking porn. I
phoned a mate straight after and told him to which he asked how
many freebies I got. Damn, I forgot to ask.

I didn't forget to ask when I reached the destination and a very nice
young lady asked what I wanted. I said some good fucking and she said
"follow me" ;-)

Nah, she didn't give me any of that, but I did get three free porno
DVDs.

*sigh*

thought the first post was more entertaining if a bit embarrassingly frank
about the wank offer (sic)

Yes, that's why I cancelled the post and redid it. In my stupidity, I'd
attached it to my original post and so had to cancel that as well.
Unfortunately, it was (obviously) too late.

and BTW, what is (sic) ?

Cheers

 

it's been poorly used, apologies for the entomogically gifted on here.
someone sober will be along shortly to define it.

I genuinely wanted to know. I've seen it all over usenet and the
internet in general. I've tried an acronym finder and google but the
former provides no results and the latter produces more of the same
confusing results (I.e I don't know what it is or means).

Thank you! Very well explained. I like that.

 

*cough* my excuse is that I was too pissed last night, hence sobriety
tonight.
