Are we allowing Tuesday's breakfasts? If so I've got a Task GET!, and just need two more breakfasts for the bonus points.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm going to use my phone instead of a notepad when I go out on the stalk today as it's less conspicuous. Is this okay?

Phone is fine, and yes, Tuesday's breakfast is included.

I told my girlfriend my plan for getting the target's name, and she said I was too distinctive to pull it off, and would end up looking like a perv. It's destroyed the confidence I was building up to do it, so a name will be unlikely

I'm intrigued as to what this plan is/was. :lol:

Getting that name might just be the difference between you and Banjo....

Had Waffles for breakfast!

Dowbocop, why can't you just say "excuse me, what's your name?"

You'll never meet THE TARGET again. You can pretend he/she looked like an old school friend.

Breakfast Club day 3, 4 + 5
Thursday - Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (Tescos version)
Friday - Nougat Pillows
Saturday - Cheese Toastie! =D Yum.

Stalker
Followed Employee on the train.

Notes taken:
- Young blonde male, mid 20s maybe.
- Seemed to be an employee on the train I was on.
- Walked up and down, apparently checking for unattended packages.
- Collected some rubbish from people
- Fiddled with his bag for a bit pretending to be busy.
- I approached him and asked if he'd been working there long and he had been since he left school.
- Got into a conversation about uni.
- I asked his name and it was Ryan.

Whole thing lasted about 15 minutes :]

Can I confirm that I only have day 6 + 7 of breakfast club and Give the man an Oscar to do (including bonus points)?

Don't you think I know that? :cry:

KP, that was essentially the plan, but I do look really distinctive. People don't forget my face, as it's covered in masses of ginger hair. I have a backup plan. It's simple, but sneaky, and it just might work...

I had oreos and a cup of yogurt today.

I had some smoked salmon on toast today. It was pretty good.

Cream puffs with a cup of milk, and a banana. Not very filling but meh.

Can Mocky (or anyone actually) randomly select a film for me to watch. I've been putting this off for a while in case my student loan money came through but it hasn't so a trip to the cinema is out of the question.

Today for breakfast I had waffles.

And today I had a slice sandwich like I said I would.

Today's breakfast was a bowl of rice pudding.

Star Trek 2009 in high def. It's on the usual sites.

That was randomly selected through the process of it having been the last film I've watched. *nod*

Stalker

1st minute: I enter the coffee shop and spy my prey. He is serving a customer ahead of me.
2nd minute: It is now my turn at the counter. I order a double espresso with a glass of water. I am close enough to touch my target. I can also see his namebadge. Chris! My target's name is Chris! Imagine the headlines, "Chris Found Dead at Hands of Internet Stalker". Nice ring to it don't you think?
3rd minute: After handing over my money I am given my drinks by Chris' colleague. Chris doesn't give me a receipt. Naughty Chris, he was supposed to (yes, I am in another branch of the coffee shop I work in, so I was judging his )
4th minute: As I take my seat, around ten metres away from Chris, he serves an elderly gentleman.
5th minute: Chris serves a cybergoth/cyberpunk fellow: tall, long straight hair, think he had goggles on his head but not on his face. Bellend.
6th minute: A bit of a queue is forming behind our Chris, and he doesn't seem to be rushing his tillwork to rectify this. Better hope there's not a secret shopper in there Chris!
7th minute: Chris is working very slowly - I'd get told off if I was this lackadaisical. He serves another elderly gentleman, maybe there's a bus trip.
8th minute: Cyber bloke returns to Chris to ask him where his drink is. Chris scuttles out with something resembling a cappucino, but it's hard to see from my vantage point.
9th minute: Chris finally gives a customer a receipt when they buy a bottle of Fanta.
10th minute: Chris serves a middle-aged man with a manbag, what a tool.
11th minute: I walk past the counter Chris is manning to get some sugar as my espresso is a little harsh. It is nice when drunk with water though, brings out the sweetness. I digress - Chris is serving a cake to a lady.
12th minute: Chris serves a man with a hat.
13th minute: Chris charges a man £4.25 for a cappucino and a cake.
14th minute: The queue has dissipated, and Chris turns away from the counter to fiddle with the whipped cream canister.
15th minute: Chris is chatting with his manager. She is smiling at him. She clearly doesn't run a very tight ship.
16th minute: Chris leaves the counter to go into the back room. As he is no longer in my line of sight, and my espresso is finished, I leave the shop, placing my tray on the counter to see if I could catch one last glimpse of Chris. Sadly I couldn't, but I believe I have fulfilled all my goals.

Task GET! with bonus points?

That's not random enough I'm a afraid.

Mocky is strict and demands a "randomising method" better than that.

Ok, I put 'film poster' into google images and then used a random number generator (between 1-20) to pick a page and then an image number.

May do something like that.

I put "Star Trek 2009" into Google and used a random number generator to select a result.

Turns out your film is ... Star Trek 2009!

Well Ironhide never used the random film I found doing that so you could use it, it was 'The Great Dictator'.

What's my film?

I am also a poor student

I put "Movie Poster" into google image search.

Used a random number generator: http://www.random.org/ to pick a number between 1 and 30. Got Number 23

So went to the page 23.

Used the generator again to pick a number between 1 and 18. Number returned was 12.

12th result was a Poster for G.I. Joe.

Will try to track that down then. If it's ok with Mocky.

Ok I did the random film poster thing, I got 19 and then 9 which turned out to be 'Moon'.

I want Moon.

You should, it's well good.

If you two wish to swap films, I'll allow it.

Did the random thing and look what I got...
