    I love how Pigpen has become completely absent from this thread now he/she/it has been totally destroyed.

    Begs the question how far that business went in the end :rotfl::rotfl:

    :D

    She was always a bit of a brain tbh. She always knew what she wanted and how to [STRIKE]manipulate people to[/STRIKE] get it. :D If friends reunited is to be believed then she's doing very well for herself in a big multi-national company now. So there you go...showing your bum can pay off. :rotfl:
    Herman - MP for all! :)

    if you are proud of him for selling pepsi or even for drinking it himself you need to rethink your parenting skills. No child of any age should be drinking that stuff and i trust that my children go to school and don't have access to that sort of poison. the thought of some other child selling my kids soft drinks horrifies me. Well done to the school for not accepting it!

    Blimey! Somehow I have survived to the age of 30 drinking the occasional fizzy drink. I'm at the low end of my healthy BMI range and am reasonably fit and active. 13 is plenty old enough to be learning about moderation. If we were talking about 5 year olds here it would be different.

    How do you know your kids don't have the occasional can from the local corner shop anyway?!

    Me and my Husband have just had a good giggle about this. Husband says your kid seems like a little businessman! :D
    I was teh good kid at school but still went round selling ciggies for a few months. Not sure how well I did with moneymaking, but remember the "bigger girl" that wanted ciggies and said she would pay me tomorrow and I was too scared to ask for the money lol. Oh and I may have sold them, but I have never smoked in my life! Have never done drugs either and dont drink :) Not everyone turns into a heroin wielding drug dealer.
    He's only selling a drink, not cigs or drugs. Maybe try as someone suggested with a "better for you" drink!

  • Pepsi is a 'gateway drink'

    Next steps will be Tizer, then cream soda. Wait a few years and it'll end up being Tango and Dr Peppers *shudder*

    Too late, some one has probably already cut it with shandy, best lock up your valubles
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.
