I've just tried to go to Morrisons.co.uk but Firefox is saying the connection is insecure. Anyone else get this?

I didn't click from another site, just used a link from my history, so I've been there before without problems.

Yes ,it happened to me yesterday.

Twelve of the finest (unintentional) double-entendres ever aired on British TV and radio


1. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator - 'This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother.'

2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator - 'Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him.'

3. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator - 'And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!'

4. Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 - 'Ah, isn't that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew.'

5. US PGA Commentator - 'One of the reasons Arnie ( Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them ..... Oh my god !! What have I just said??'

6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on 'Time Team Live' said: 'You'd eat beaver if you could get it.'

7. A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked, 'So Bob, where's that eight inches you promised me last night?' Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!

8. Steve Ryder covering the US Masters: 'Ballesteros is feeling great today after a 69 yesterday.'

9. Clair Frisby talking about a jumbo hot dog on 'Look North' said: 'There's nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like this. '

10 Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on 'Sky Sports': 'Stephen Hendry jumps on Steve Davis's misses every chance he gets.'

11. Michael Buerk on watching Philippa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1's UK eclipse coverage remarked: 'They seem cold out there. They're rubbing each other and he's only come in his shorts.'

12. Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open: 'Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny; other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.'

If anyone has a Costco card, I can recommend paying them a visit as they have Pandoro Cake at just £1.97. It is a 1KG cake, in a lovely tin and is the ideal thing to take round if you are visiting people. Also, the cake has been baked in a star shaped mould, so you can also cut the cake into slices horizontally and by rotating them create a christmas tree cake, decorated with cream etc like this...

An absolute steal for under £2.

Thanks for the heads up, great price - just been to Costco and they are £3.97 in mine, which is still a good price. Also had the tins of Amaretti biscuits reduced, and the giftset of pizza plate/mini plates were half the price they were last weekend. Think I will pop back this weekend, might get my turkey from there too

Overheard at Tosco CS... christmas jumpers reduced to £3 tomorrow. SA was putting a couple of mens ones in a cupboard.

Hi there, good evening! And thanks for the comparison - I was sort of hovering in the right place, wasn't I?

But, having said that, I'd go for the Colgate Max White - this is the one I should have bought last time, when the Radox Passionfruit gel was a trigger (now on msm, so that won't work anymore). In the event, I bought the 'wrong' toothpaste - or maybe not? - the toothpaste I bought was individual more expensive in A than £2.27 and therefore the difference was more but flipped to against Sains. so I lost 10% on everything else I'd bought due to it being N/A vs Sainsbobs.

Sarahdol have you tried the range? They are the cheapest non-charity shops I've found for baskets.

Failing that- you could try a pretty plant holder- like a little metal bucket looking one not a brown plant pot?

I called about the telly job and have official confirmation that I have it. Way below the accepted rate for what I do but something to be doing whilst I look for further work! :beer:

And I'm now a signed up volunteer for the Red Cross. Got a bunch of training to do in the New Year before I get cracking but :T

Congratulations :T:j

Just had another thought, our Tesco Extra had small jute reusable bags, maybe around 8 x 8 inches.

This is an ebay listing (not me) and they are £1.25 in store if you can find them. They are really quite cute and in ours are found on the end aisle with all the other reusable bags near the checkouts.

There is also a bigger version at £3.00, but more normal jute shopper size.

Small one for picture

Big one for picture

Primark also do bags but not sure what designs are on those but the are usually around £1.50 or less so maybe worth a look if you are near one.

Any help?
