When I am King of the World (it's coming people, it's coming) there will be strict shopping rules in place. People who don't need to be in Asda at lunchtime/weekends won't be allowed in there.0

No idea but it was full of kids running about like it was a playground, women with a million children and trolleys gossiping in the aisles and blocking them - I nearly got rammed in the stomach by a trolley because the woman pushing it was talking to her mates behind her and was pushing it backwards and there was a loose dog running about. It's pretty annoying because in term time, I need to co-ordinate my supermarket visits around lunchtime at the local school where teenage boys descend like a plague of hungry locusts and clear the shelves of food and holiday time, I'm playing dodge the hyper child/dog/inconsiderate mother.Eu não sou uma tartaruga.

OMG!!
A chocolate Mini Milk is only 30 calories!!
Ok, so it doesn't taste exactly like a Magnum, but it hits the spot when everyone else in the team is having ice cream. :rotfl:0 -
I had a mini milk the other day and was also amazed!
I want to hear more king tea declarations.. I recommend a 4 day working work (I have one anyway, and I can tell you, its super!), calorie free chocolate, and incarceration for misusing exclamation marks by putting spaces in front of them (have I got too far?).
PS, Why aren't you people doing online shopping?0 -
That's crazy! When did they start letting dogs into supermarkets?
Since we're ranting, I had a phone call from Save the Children last night trying to guilt me into upping my monthly donation. She asked me why I donated to them in the first place and I waffled something about feeling sorry for abused kids. She said "Yes I think many of our supporters start donating when they become parents". Why do people assume that the only people that care about kids are parents? Who are all these insensitive monsters that only realise that child abuse is a Bad Thing when they have their own kids?
Grrr.
Might have been overreacting!0 -
I can't be doing with online shopping. I used to, but not for fresh stuff as I like to pick my own. We'd have to do it with no substitutions now as DH can't eat gluten (coeliac disease) so I'd probably only get half of what I ordered and then still have to go to Tesco.

I do for the weekly shop, but needed a few top up things and something for lunch since I forgot mine and that's all that's around.Clevernamehere wrote: »That's crazy! When did they start letting dogs into supermarkets?

I think the dog escaped the 8 year old who was "walking" it and ran into the shop. Did a few laps - none of the staff bothered to try to stop it and then ran out again.
I hate that assumption. Like these idiots who think saying "As a mother" or "As a parent" makes their opinion more valid. There was an advert a while ago for hhmmm can't remember but it may have been Save the Children or something, and the woman said "As a mother...blah blah blah". I'm telling you, if I'd been making donations to that charity, I'd have stopped and made sure they knew why I had stopped.
"Well, telesales person, since you ask why I'm cancelling my donation, here it is. Your advert says "As a mother," and watching it, I suddenly realised that as I haven't given birth, I can't possibly understand poverty or famine or suffering and therefore, I'm going to spend my money on something else, like shoes. You know, because as a non-parent, I'm incapable of empathy."Eu não sou uma tartaruga. Eu sou um codigopombo.0 -
That "as a parent" thing will definitely be outlawed in the reign of King Tea. It's so stupid! Did all these people seriously not give a fig about starving or abused children before they popped one out themselves??
I really want a mini milk now!!0 -

Can I be one of your trusted advisors in the reign of King Tea please? I have many rules I'd like implemented but am too lazy to rule a planet. And when I am, I'd like him washed and brought to my room please. Actually, don't bother washing him.Eu não sou uma tartaruga. Eu sou um codigopombo.0 -
Sounds good, Tea. I'm in.
Whenever someone says 'I didn't realise x till I had children', I always want to say 'Why? What the hell was wrong with you?'0
