No, “Venti” is “Twenty”

[Ben Paddon]

I’ve just spent the last fifteen or so minutes getting ready for my interview at Starbucks. I’m wearing a white shirt, the red tie I’d originally bought for the “Louis” costume in Boomer’s Day Off Part 4, and my bowler hat.

Oh, and trousers and shoes, obviously.

Wish me luck.

You mentioned Starbuck and Boomer in the same post.

>and my bowler hat.

I’m not entirely convinced you want this job

He doesn’t, but his mate does.

They’ll be celebrating him getting it with a can of Pepsi Max later on.

Interview went very well. I was described as “awesome” and “a perfect fit”. I won’t find out until Thursday but I reckon I might just have the job.

Saw that ad before Star Trek, what does rigging a job have to do with drinking Pepsi?

Best of luck.

They tried promoting it on the key aspects of acid indigestion and tooth decay but somehow it just wasn’t working.

So the taste has nothing to do with it? Ok!

I adore Pepsi Max, the only fizzy beverage I drink these days.

I went for the Tango today, I like Pepsi but I get heart burn from Pepsi Max which is weird since I don’t from anything else, oh Diet Coke too but that tastes like shit too so I don’t drink that.

I don’t drink fizz much, but when I do I tend to go with the citric lemon/limey stuff (sprite, etc.)

Good luck Ben.

I work for an American company and they just luuuuuuuuuuuurve my accent (Mockney). If you still have a Brit accent then the bowler hat was an inspired move. They just love those quirky Brits.

[Ben Paddon]

I do indeed still have my British accent. It’s hardly dulled at all since I got here. I imagine this will lead to customers wanting to have long, dull conversations with me about where I grew up, what England is like, and all that jazz.

[Dave]

They love English jazz.

That’s due to all the shite they have to put in it to make it taste good without any sugar.

[Ben Paddon]

I get heartburn from Pepsi Max too, which is weird because I don’t drink it.

You do know it’s not meant to be used as a suppository?

[Ben Paddon]

Ooooohhhhhh, I see.
