Re: The *OFFICIAL* Asda thread

Having been a loyal patron for 24 years I am really going off Asda. Last week the price of a Yazoo milkshake went up from 70p to £1 (a couple of years ago it was only 48p). I drink two of those per day so that's an extra £10 on my shopping bill each month alone. I can't bring myself to start shoppi...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

Thought I'd already mentioned this, but I can't see it so I must have imagined it. I went to the Maggie Mash branch of Morrisons a few months ago for the first time ever. The fresh food area certainly is striking when you walk in. Looks amazing, sadly once you go back to the other aisles, you still ...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

Now, cdd... I had come to respect you on this forum, but now you are talking about anything other than granulated sugar coating the outside* of a doughnut... you're on very shaky ground!

Re: things that irritate and annoy you

Ronnie, I'm not someone who gets wound up by very much at all. Like you, I can ignore things, but by returning to this again and again, it would seem that you also are irritated and annoyed by people whose irritation and annoyance perpetuate the exposure of whatever irksome thing and maybe you shoul...

Re: whyPhone?

No, I'd take as many opportunities to shoot Apple down as I could, but I read that article with a sense of disbelief that someone thought it was an article worth publishing against Apple!

Re: Guilty pleasures?

I don't consider brass bands as a guilty pleasure... I proudly book my Black Dyke tickets each Christmas!
Surprisingly, we have a growing group of friends that join us there too!

Re: Walking

I lost almost 1 stone last year, mostly from adding a 4.something mile walk to my work routine. Whenever possible, I will walk for my meal break and last year I pushed myself to up that to 4 miles in an hour (the close proximity of the canal means I can take the more pleasant route out to the Maggie...

Re: Wedding of the year.

Seems to me that there'll be a bunch of us metrousers sat in the middle of a field somewhere as far from a TV and street party as we can get.
