A statistic from today's paper.

37% of the under 35s never wear a watch.

Neither my DS or DD wear one.....
Are watches dying out:o:)

Will they become extinct:eek:

I rarely wear a watch now. Had a watch that had great sentimental value and it fell off and ended up getting run over by the lawnmower I managed to find quite a bit of it including the hands!

Most under 35s have a mobile phone with the time on it so have no need for a watch, that's why:)

:rotfl:When I see FloFlo posting I always think 'Florence' in my mind

And for some bizarre reason when I see streetlights posting I always sing his/her? name to the tune of street life by Randy Crawford

And Funky Feet in my head is always the song from the (very old) funny feet icecream advert ''funny feet ha ha ha ha''

And PattyLaBelle is Patty Bouley (sp? pronounced boo-lay) I don't even know if that's a real person :rotfl:

Oh and DM is of course DangerMouse


I think I might be a bit weird :eek:

Hi.

It really is all tactical.
(I'm referring to the pricing in supermarkets.)

I'm not giving too much away - I'm adopting my own tactical position now - in case they see this post and change it back again. That item that was in one store for a higher price than a competitor and they never reduced the on-shelf price to match the competitor's price...

Well... they've now - still not matching the rival's price - introduced a multibuy offer on it, in fact a 3 for 2 offer - meaning that, for anyone that doesn't need or want 3, they're still paying the same higher price on it than the competitor (and, more likely, the customer offsets the customer's loss (higher price on this item) by also buying something on special offer at the store and thus losing anything on any price comparison).

It's merely sending me, now, to the rival, and to buy the required number vs the first store (whose prices, for many people who don't take up the new multibuy, will still be higher than the rival).

So having been overcharged and me resetting the price to the lower priced competitor each time, now I actually will take up the 'buy 3' offer (since, yes, I actually do need or want three) - but I'll buy 3 at the place that doesn't have the "3 for 2" offer on, and reset them to the lower price the first competitor now is - but a lower price only when you buy 3 (still overcharged if you buy 1 or 2, as many people I suspect still would, and would put in a cheaper item to lose any refund of the difference etc. on the first).

Tactics, tactics, tactics...:rotfl::rotfl:

That was my first ever attempt earlier in the week. I just shut my eyes and thought of something, anything to take my mind of it....took me a while to pick myself up off the floor, it totally finished me.

It says once you have mastered 2 mins then you can move on to the Side Plank Star :eek::)

I used to be able to do 90 seconds but that was in my pole dancing days and now I think I'd struggle to do 20. I'll have a go in a bit

I'm knackered just reading that!

Maybe we should do a plank thing similar to the zero club :cool:

:eek: Mine was 23 seconds!!! My excuse is that i had a baby 4 months ago.. but even so.
I'm going to make myself feel better by getting a packet of crisps and some maltesers :rotfl:

emmlouie

only time i really use a watch is during exams where we need to be aware of time spent on each question, it is constantly drummed into us at uni that we have 1.8 minutes for each available mark so have to work out maximum time to spend on each question.
