The Extra Lovely (un)intelligible Totally Elitist thread

elsie1969

And then on the quotes topic......

Best one I ever heard......

I was walking past a group of somewhat upper class studenty young ladies..... you just have to imagine the way the lingo was spoken. a bit of a plum stuck somewhere me thinks!!!! Not sure what the topic of convo was about, the only bit I caught was.....

''Well it's better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper!''


Thats one i'll never forget. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

OK, time to go, hope everyone is having a good day. No one worked out the sada cereal yet?

Hugs to those that need them.

How were they made? Did she attach to the original bag? Also what sort of bag? Are they the Bags for life type please?

Asda used to do a bag like this, T's version was black



But the jute bags are better because they are a bit more rigid and again you can sew straight onto the flat panel.



The material was just sewn straight on the the side panels of the black bags. But the green ones were completely covered and she also put a liner on the inside. I have no idea how - she can work wonders on an ancient sewing machine

I nearly succumbed as I was tempted to find out what Candy Crush is but just seen the post van - hubs is waiting on trainers arriving so I am hoping they come today so I am just waiting on postie then I am off out - will check out what candy crush is later though

Random Question Time

Do any of you :A know of an mse way do unclog a bath plughole - it's running slow rather than blocked and I know you can buy those liquids that dissolve hair (which is what I'm assuming it is) but they are a bit expensive ... does bleach work the same? Or any 'old wives tales' that work?

If they were the black finest ones I still have some (they didn't last long though as the fabric seemed too thin) they had big ones with plastic handles and smaller ones which I still have although the plastic flat bit on the inside is missing.
Never thought of modding a bag, might have to give it a try

Morning all

Did a Muller shop this morning, I bought 30 at 65p each. The multibuy has only taken off £2.10 and £1.20 when it should have taken off a total of £7.50. Can’t believe I didn’t notice this at the checkout but I’ll be back later to collect my £2 gift card from CS. Has anyone else had an incorrect multibuy on Mullers? Might be worth to double check if you’ve bought them recently.

Results back in 25 mins

I bought 20 at the weekend but only one came off. I'm yet to go back and sort out my refund
