| Thanks to my special powers, I know it's more or less Buttertubs' birthday, some time around now. And that it's a very special one! _________________ |

| I love how the first two genuinely look like charity shops. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| I think I was totally unaware of the existence of Argos until the 1990s. _________________ |

| I on the other hand was aware of it from its inception, when the Green Shield place turned into it. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| I don't think I went into one until I actually got a job there - working in the stockroom of the Shepherds Bush branch in 1989.
I still didn't really know how the shopping experience was supposed to work even though I was collecting the orders and putting them on the conveyor belt.
I got fired for showing a lack of enthusiasm.
In 1989. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?
