Cheese and jam is lush!

Just been reading back and trying to catch up when I came across this, I would like to second this HC, cheese and jam IS lush, so to is cheese and marmite and cheese and mint jelly!! Please try if you're brave enough :rotfl:

I would just like to say a big :hello: to everybody, I don't manage to contribute much as I have 2 small children and a 15 week old guide dog puppy, so I only manage to get on here in the evenings. I was around for the wonderful DTD days earlier in the year - Tesco if you're listening please, please bring it back

I really enjoy reading everybodys posts, from the funny to the sad and all the embarrasing ones too!!

I apologise for not posting many bargains, as I never seem to find any new ones, but I am hugely grateful to all of you who do post them, as I was able to get my OH one of the 4p knitted jumpers. I have trying to scan lots of the AW10 items that I find, but they all seem to be full price still, is there any rhyme or reason as to what get reduced and what doesn't? I did however manage to find a pair of boys school shoes that were AW09 and were 4p, unfortunately they were slightly too small for my son, so I gave them to my neighbours friend - nevermind!

Sorry for the long post, just want to say hi and that although I don't post often, I'm always here - trying to catch up - and I feel like I know a lot of you as friends even though you don't know me. I will try to post more, even if its not about bargains.

NOT SO MUCH A JOKE - A REAL SCENARIO BUT IT COMES UNDER THE HEADING OF "I WISH I WROTE A LETTER LIKE THAT"

It tells the part story (the story continues) of a very frustrated resident in Scotland trying to call the Police to report Vandalism/Noise disturbance etc.

Dear Sir/madam/automated telephone answering service,

Having spent the past twenty minutes waiting for someone at Leith police station to pick up a telephone I have decided to abandon the idea and try e-mailing you instead. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this massage on to your colleagues in Leith by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or Ouija board.

As I'm writing this e-mail there are eleven failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in West Cromwell Street which is just off Commercial Street in Leith. Six of them seem happy enough to play a game which involves kicking a football against an iron gate with the force of a meteorite. This causes an earth shattering CLANG! which rings throughout the entire building.

This game is now in it's third week and as I am unsure how the scoring system works, I have no idea if it will end any time soon.

The remaining five walking abortions are happily rummaging through several bags of rubbish and items of furniture that someone has so thoughtfully dumped beside the wheelie bins. One of them has found a saw and is setting about a discarded chair like a beaver on speed. I fear that it's only a matter of time before they turn their limited attention to the bottle of calor gas that is lying on it's side between the two bins. If they could be relied on to only blow their own arms and legs off then I would happily leave them to it. I would even go so far as to lend them the matches. Unfortunately they are far more likely to blow up half the street with them and I've just finished decorating the kitchen.

What I suggest is this. after replying to this e-mail with worthless assurances that the matter is being looked into and will be dealt with, why not leave it until the one night of the year (probably bath night) when there are no mutants around then drive up the street in a panda car before doing a three point turn and disappearing again. This will of course serve no ther purpose than to remind us what policemen actually look like.
I trust that when I take a clawhammer to the skull of one of these throwbacks you'll do me the same courtesy of giving me a four month head start before coming to arrest me.

I remain sir, your obedient servant

XXXXXXX

THE FIRST REPLY

Mr XXXXXXX,

I have read your e-mail and understand you frustration at the problems caused by youths playing in the area and the problems you have encountered in trying to contact the police.
As the Community Beat Officer for your street I would like to extend an offer of discussing the matter fully with you.
Should you wish to discuss the matter, please provide contact details (address / telephone number) and when may be suitable.
Regards
PC xxxxx
XXXXXXXXX
Community Beat Officer

SECOND LETTER

Dear PC XXXXXXXX

First of all I would like to thank you for the speedy response to my original e-mail. 16 hours and 38 minutes must be a personal record for Leith Police station and rest assured that I will forward these details to Norris McWhirter for inclusion in his next book.

Secondly I was delighted to hear that our street has it's own community beat officer. May I be the first to congratulate you on your covert skills. In the five or so years I have lived in West Cromwell Street, I have never seen you.

Do you hide up a tree or have you gone deep undercover and infiltrated the gang itself? Are you the one with the acne and the moustache on his forehead or the one with a chin like a wash hand basin? It's surely only a matter of time before you are headhunted by MI5.

Whilst I realise that there may be far more serious crimes taking place in Leith such as smoking in a public place or being Muslim without due care and attention, is it too much to ask for a policeman to explain (using words of no more than two syllables at a time) to these !!!!! that they might want to play their strange football game elsewhere. The pitch behind the Citadel or the one at DKs are both within spitting distance as is the bottom of the Albert Dock.

Should you wish to discuss these matters further you should feel free to contact me on ??? ????. If after 25 minutes I have still failed to answer, I'll buy you a large one in the Compass Bar.

Regards
XXXXXX
P.S If you think that this is sarcasm, think yourself lucky that you don't work for the cleansing department.

My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we
decided to get married.

There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful
younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very
tight mini skirts, and generally was bra-less.

One day 'little sister' called and asked me to come over to check the
wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to
me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome.
She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got
married and committed my life to her sister. Well, I was in total shock,
and couldn't say a word.

She said, 'I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last
wild fling, just come up and get me.' I was stunned and frozen in shock
as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top she pulled
off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me.

I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to
the front door. I opened the door, and quickly headed straight towards
my car.

Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all
clapping!

With tears in his eyes, my future father-in-law hugged me and said, we
are very happy that you have passed our little test... we couldn't ask
for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.'

And the moral of this story is:





Always keep your condoms in your car.

For a change, these are clean!

An Australian, an Irishman and a Scouser are in a bar. They're staring at
Another man sitting on his own at a table in the corner. He's so familiar,
And not recognising him is driving them mad. They stare and stare, until
Suddenly the Irishman twigs: "My God, it's Jesus!"

Sure enough, it is Jesus, nursing a pint. Thrilled, they send him over a
Pint of Guinness, a pint of Fosters and a pint of bitter. Jesus accepts the
Drinks, smiles over at the three men, and drinks the pints slowly, one after
Another.

After he's finished the drinks, Jesus approaches the trio.

He reaches for the hand of the Irishman and shakes it, thanking him for the
Guinness. When he lets go, the Irishman gives a cry of amazement:

"My God! The arthritis I've had for 30 years is gone.
It's a miracle!"

Jesus then shakes the Aussie's hand, thanking him for the lager. As he lets
Go, the man's eyes widen in shock.

"Strewth mate, the bad back I've had all my life is completely gone! It's a
Miracle."

Jesus then approaches the Scouser who says,

"Back off, mate, I'm on disability benefit.

Police cordoned off Liverpool City Centre this morning when a suspicious
Object was discovered in a car.

It later turned out to be a tax disc.

And on that note, I'm off for a shower then bed. Night all.
