"Hey, look at that man on isle 3, isn't he whats his name from UK reality TV show??" - "Don't know lets ask him." Above are the probably thoughts of two boys who were in the venue earlier this week. They popped in looked at me curiously as I acknowledged their glances & walked around the isles before leaving. Last night they were back in again. This time they came up to me. They were both about 11yo, one said to me "Are you...from..." "no, I'm afraid not", I replied "You look like him his mate said." A 3rd kid came in straight away saying "alright Halo". They continued bouncing their ideas with the 3rd boy. "Nah thats Halo", "but look at his face, he really looks like him". It brought a smile to my face & they continued to talk to "gtm" who was serving on another till. I stopped my thoughts of offering my phone number or autograph almost the very moment it entered my mind, but they came back in a few times refering to me as "...". They returned on occasions & hung around with the clubby ginger kid & his mates, who were harasing lifeguards & cussing them (making jokes, taken in good humour by all). Later the ginger kid, was chasing his 11yo girl buddy around asking her for sex (yes, I know). She even came into the shop saying "can you tell him to leave me alone". Before I could think or say anything impropper, gtm, asked them to leave, if they weren't going to buy anything. They generally continued their behaviour patterns outside & I sort of wished I could've been out there mucking around with them, or just talking to them on the bench (at least it would've calmed their behaviour down). Another week ahead, who knows what it will bring (still haven't seen Signs, my work shifts are cutting into the showings).
