Porn story part II

Follow-up to Porn Review from Ele's Elegant Easter Egg

As if our original Blockbuster experience wasn’t amusing enough…

Having rented the porno with my housemates (reviewed on a previous blog entry) and returned it the next day a good few weeks ago, I recently received a letter from Blockbuster informing me that my failure to return ‘Airport 69: Mile High Swingers’ had thus far earnt me £19 worth of fines, which were growing daily. Should I fail to return the video, wrote Mr Blockbuster, the case would be referred to debt collection agencies. This letter struck the fear of God upon my heart…

Off toddled Hanya and I to Blockbuster to question this letter, only to find the very same chap who served us originally (again, mentioned in previous blog entry) – Mark. He recognised us immediately (well, I suppose they don’t tend to get too many groups of students renting softcore porn). He looked at my account on the system which made no mention of an unreturned film and then apologised and put the letter down to ‘human error’.

With that sorted, we began to walk away only to realise how massive the queue was. Quick as a fox, I darted back to the counter and cheekily asked if, due to the considerable distress the said letter had caused, it would be possible to skip the queue once we’d selected our film. Of course, Mark, by this time a good pal, said that would be fine. Upon returning to him with our vid (Mean Girls in case you were wondering!) he let us have it for free!

MARK FROM TILE HILL’S BLOCKBUSTER – YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!
