    My favourite story is the first one ... who wouldn't want to be a bumblebee? :D

    And on that theme, I'll chuck this into the Saturday Evening Discussion Pot, in case the conversation starts to flag:

    When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
    (and did you manage to become that?)

    I'll start: I wanted to be a fire engine driver, on one of those big American articulated fire trucks with the turntable ladder. Sadly, I'm not:(

    my son wanted to be a tree. he liked the Prudential advert about 25 years ago and yes he ended up working in insurance :rotfl:

    Tenth Anniversary
    Evening peeps. :)

    Had a LOL moment in T's today! Found these, which I think are new...

    41RxE5-uC5L_zps21469919.jpg

    Except colours are green and pink. I also found some more yo-yos, but I scanned it at the till it came up 'item not recognised. :eek: Sa came over and I thought, 'that's it, they're gonna take it all off me' Off he go's to CS so I quickly paid for the post-its. :D Back he comes and when he saw that I'd paid, he called for the manager.:eek: Manager comes over after about 5 mins and when he saw me, he actually rolled his eyes, asked the Sa what was going on and when he told him the manager came over to me, asked how many there were (10) Then said to the Sa, 'just let him take them'
    Poor SA didn't know what to do and his face was a picture. :rotfl:
    So, better than 1p..Free. :D
