8 out of 10 for me today!!:(

However I would like to dispute the answer to this!!:cool:

[SIZE=+1]9. You're at a stop light and you notice the person in the car next to you - ahem - picking their nose. This is an exercise that you have always personally found appalling. Private gripes aside, what is the best way to proceed?[/SIZE]
Your Answer: Roll down your window and holler "Hey! Hey! Stop that!".
The correct answer was [SIZE=+1]Ignore him or her and just hit the gas when the light turns green.[/SIZE].

:rotfl::rotfl:

Unfortunately one of the bad traits I came across when I moved to my lovely northern county was the number of men (never women) who seem to think their windscreen is made of one way mirror glasss and they can pick their noses with impunity behind it. Yeeeeuuukk!!

Why oh why oh why?

Just spoken to HO at boots. The offer of a free shot was supposed to be on their more expensive items, but they didn't realise it would count towards their least expensive (79p) The offer will continue for as long as their offer states. (whanever that might be) So, Keep checking your stores, as, as soon as they've restocked, the chance is there (if you can beat me to it!!!) :beer:
There are people who know me, so you'd better be quick.:D:D:rotfl::D

SA today in Connswater, Belfast told me it was on until the end of next week, think she said 28th

Evening all

There is nothing worse than being on the bones of your backside moneywise and the freezer looking emptier each day! So I had £20 left in my purse which has to last me until the end of next week, so a huge thanks to Mr T tonight. Calculated my stash of whoopsies £98.30 worth for £13.44 :eek: :eek: It was only myself and the reduction girl . Got bacon, sausages, fish, salmon, stewing steak, chops chicken breasts and loads more.

How did you all get on? any great bargains? I had a good time in Boots at the Fort - Xmas sorted for 2012 already, now just have to work out where I'm going to put it all till December :eek:, but haven't been near Mr T's today - called into P33l yesterday after work and found nothing other than a bunch of whoopsied flowers for 75p

I got a few bits but others (no names :cool:) got enough to require 2 trips to the car

Neither of the Ts were much use so you didn't miss much there

Reading your post led my brain down a weird path!!

First I was gonna reply with a quip about bogeymen but that led my brain down a nostalgic path to my childhood....

Did ANYONE ever have the fear drummed into them of Rag Eye and Flannel Foot that lived in the 'cockaloft'?

My mum used to frighten me silly with these fictional characters. I was petrified. I used to lie still in bed trying not to breathe too loud in case they could follow the sound of my breaths.

It was just a bit of fun really I guess but I was convinced they really lived in our loft.

Did anyone else used to be scared of when the loo flushed? I used to belt it down the stairs after I flushed as if an army was after me. I also used to leap onto the bed after I turned my light out in case hands grabbed my ankles.

As i was leaving i had a phone call from OH - the news is my FIL has a brain tumour - don't know what type or if they will operate or what treatment will be undertaken yet - still waiting to hear back from specialists, but have been told we will know for sure tomorrow, as they were waiting for a few of them to get together today and look over the MRI scans etc. and decide what will happen next. I rang the hospital and spoke to FIL and he was full of beans, said food was great and could he have his glasses so he can see what the nurses look like - he said they sound lovely but can't be too sure as can't see them ( he is also partially sighted), i asked him if i could take him anything in when i go home on friday and he said a bus ticket out of there - i said its not that bad is it? he said no, but people die in places like this and he wants to make sure he gets his pension for the month first!! - still got a great sense of humour!! i told him i was trying to get cover so i could get home earlier, but he said i should stay where i was as there are bills that need paying and he doesn't want me to get into debt for his sake - love him xxx

Thinking about you and the family. At least he's in good form and having a laugh.
Your FIL sounds alot like my 92 yr old Great Aunt, she feels the same about hospitals. We've just taught her to use skype :eek: so now she asks us to beam her through to her grandson and great grandson in Germany, she thinks she can just do it and no matter where they are they'll be able to answer but at least her phone bill's a lot less now.

I've just eaten some T's midget gems and a bit of my back tooth has broken off.

I thought I'd had a bargain at 8p....not so cheap now I'm going to have to go to the dentist. :mad::mad:

Oh no, that's not too good. My dad is a fan of Midget Gems and according to him the ASDA ones taste just like Lyons brand. In the Tesco ones, do the black ones taste like liquorice?

My brother was scared of the loo so I'm told. I remember watching the film Return to Oz (actually I was taken to the cinema to watch it) and had it on a casette tape at home - does anyone remember the talking stones and the stone king (whatever he was called) - well we had a big grey stone fireplace and that part of the cassette used to terrify me as I thought our fireplace might spring to life :eek: Think it's one of the few things as a kid I was truely afraid of like that.

I mentioned it earlier. I got 15 shots, 9 vits and 6 ricola's. Picked up some BB cream, a bit of diabetic choccy for my mum, some gluco tabs also for mum, and something else can't remember what it was now. The BB cream on it's own is £13 total came to 9.87 or something like that and they refused to honour it. I felt a right t1t!
