      Ours would have been, except it was a magnet for fans of body odour, and geriatrics suffering from terminal and spontaneous micturation. A heady odiferous cocktail of piss and crab paste. It was only safe to go in as soon as it opened at nine - after that, forget it. Maybe they all smelled of piss and crab paste, which is why they shut. I use Poundland - but might not if the self service tills start to play Elvis, like they're threatening.

    Time for the Random Information Hour!
    Yokai are basically mythical/magical creatures in Japan that are typically ghosts, demons, or anything in-between(often times even possessed objects or someone who has just done a lot of drugs).
    Yo-Kai watch is about a kid who finds some ancient capsule figure machine in the woods. What he gets from it is two things: a watch that lets him see the yokai around the world, and a ghost butler who from what I've gathered is supposed to tell him how to use it. And basically it just goes from there. The coins are what the main character gets for befriending a yokai and can use them to just summon them at will. They're like really specific pokeballs that you only get if you beat the crap out of enough of the little buggers.
    Thus ends Random Information Hour; I hope this experience has proved informative.

    • @IanC14
      @IanC14 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There's a long running manga series about yokai called Kitaro, which is getting a English language release now from the good guys at Drawn and Quarterly.
      And when I say long running it started in the 60s iirc.

      My local poundland had a sign in the window guaranteeing a job interview to all Pound World employees made redundant by the company closing so that if and when jobs came up they'd be at the top of the list. I don't know if that was just a local thing or if it's something they've been doing nationally though.
      Of course it doesn't mean that there'll necessarily been any jobs to offer them soon or that they'll even pass the interview, but it's still a pretty good of them.
