I'll admit 393 was a highlight.

Hadn’t spotted that post. Many thanks.

393? Does this mean I have to view that abomination of a thread?

Don't bother, it's just some skinny white Athlete of Eastern European Origin. I think some people are attracted to her.

Implicated in a couple of major wildfires in the West in the past year, and now a couple of people have been killed by elaborate explosive devices assembled to reveal the gender.   It's lunacy, and hopefully people will start thinking twice.

I just offered my one year old a quaver. He stuck his hand in the bag, grabbed as many as he could, crushed them in his fist, threw the crumbs on the rug and ran off laughing.

It's like high school all over again.

He was probably disgusted by your poor choice of snack. Quavers have always been a lower table snack, not fit to lace the boots of the Snap, the Skip. the Wotsit, the Ringo, the Frazzle, the Chipstick or the king, the majestic Monster Munch.

BOGOF food offers, especially when you live alone.  I don't want 2 for the price of 1. I want 1 and I want it cheaper. It just encourages food wastage. The infamous Morrisons doughnuts( @villa4europe) - 2 for 45p or 5 for 50p. 

I got 5. I'll eat 3 and throw 2 away.

You've never heard of breakfast doughnuts then ?

I'd agree but these were prawn cocktail quavers and to my knowledge he's never tried any of those other crisps, so I can only conclude he's a big bully!

They tried that over here back in 2004, channel 4 doing a series of shows on it. They inducted Elvis (Presley, not Costello), the Beatles, Bob Marley, Madonna and U2. The idea was to have a representative from each of the decades from the 50’s onwards. 

They then produced a list of ten acts for each decade and asked the Great British public to vote who should join the automatic inductees. For whatever reason, The Who weren’t nominated in any decade. 

Anyway, the public duly gave it the consideration it merited and inducted Cliff Richard & The Shadows, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Michael Jackson and Robbie Williams. They didn’t ask the public the following year and stopped altogether in 2007.

So all in all, it was quite a successful venture.

I just drove past a young lass, probably in her early 20s wearing massive baggy ‘mom jeans’. I said to my Mrs P, “Look at her jeans, they’re huge. Gen Z have declared skinny jeans are out now you see, I read about it the other day”

Mrs P said “I thought you were going to point out her huge tits. No bra, wobbling all over the place and her nipples pointing through her little cardigan”.

I completely missed it. I’m never going to forget my glasses ever again.

Where do you live?

I find it odd that refrigerators and freezers haven't reached you yet.
