    Regarding that man on the news - the shooting in America. I've been (unwittingly) rejected by women throughout my life (and I've also been unwittingly rejected by men throughout as well:rotfl::rotfl:). That doesn't mean I pick up a gun and shoot people in a drive-by.

    As for posting video rants, I don't go for video (due to my own privacy maybe) and any other rants are of the usual harmless kind from me.

    So so sad for those caught up and the families/friends left behind:(:(.

    Everyone and their opinions form differently and some are sadly, as well as very likely mental problems in their mind, focused on revenge:(.

    There's far too much chicken on this chicken thread:D

    Just to add my chickens worth... I picked up some Campbell's condensed chicken soup in my local co-op the other day for 21p a tin :)

    They're closing for another refit, second one in 4 years.

    The only refit that would be good for that place comes with a gallon of petrol and a match :mad:

    Thanks for clarifying. That's really weird that it picks up the multibuy price but doesn 't mark it red

    I think M might have 1/3rd off the flash gels making them £2.48 reduced to. £1.66 each. Instore collectors might have picked one up at full price and miskeyed the lemon as £1.36 (maybe)

    I never does if its greyed out because its n/a

    :(Something went so wrong (not as wrong as a shooting spree but that puts everything else back into perspective) that it flipped to vs T:(.

    They picked up expensive £8 price on the Daz:(. So I got no 10% on the SP Yogurt and none on the Milkybar dessert either. Though at least I got the banapples (vs T) but the mix with the Potatoes didn't work out that well. And lost on the Pasta sauce (which didn't compare to M in any event, was hoping for an 11p for M there), as supposedly cheapest item on the shop (17p) - now transformed into paying 30.6p for it:eek::(.

    Oh well - paid for by previous over-return on banapples:rotfl: - no excuse though as it could have been spent better rather than being wasted. In effect the glitch on the previous shop before this one worked out at paying full price for the apples, due to being spent in this manner:

    No you didn't, as that would require time travel.

    You got 1 yesterday and another today.

    :p:p

    How do you know it isn't that way round? Just because we observe time linearly, it does not mean that it actually occurs linearly! :D:D

    Very sad today as got the news my cousins 11 year old daughter died of a brain tumour on thursday. As far as I understand it there was no warning signs she was fit and healthy. Such a pretty happy child.:(
    Absolutely heartbreaking, she leaves a twin sister.

    Counting my blessing tonight but grieving at the same time.

    Spent day quietly.
    V x

    So sorry to hear that, losing a child must be the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone, and as for her twin, what must it be like to be missing the other half of you? Your family must be truly devastated :(

    Glad I went for my dry run today, went the wrong direction twice, eventually found the right road/path hidden away :eek:

    I feel forced to post my chicken now.
    Will be having free COS Birds Eye Chicken inspiration for my tea tonight.
    Not been to m7s yet. Have choice of 2, one in main Cathedral City and one on outskirts which is just a food store.
    Have 2 gr that the lovely Naebbirac gave me.
    To those currently getting these from gr are they still ending 31/7 or is there a new date now?

    Very impressed with my ds1. I opened him a tcb account as he wanted to get him buildings and contents ins down. Halved the price plus cb of £73. He has also made purchases from screfic direct and a few other places and won on a free bet with cb on football last night.
    In 48 hours he has accumulated twice my mums total for 2 years:eek:

    He is trying to streamline his finances a bit and although he is not into glitches and coupons I seem to have found something he enjoys using. He is also planning on doing holiday bookings for his dad and cousin this week.

    Mrs Mac so sorry to hear about your shingles. I imagine they are very painful.

    Fc still waiting to find out what gave you a shock last night but expect it was repeated from that foul foreign sausage:eek:

    Shouldda done similar to what someone else did - put a loose 1p ginger in place of the Daz on that shop and then bought the Daz and seven or more 1p-10p items separately.

    Though, had the Daz worked, I'd then have criticised that as overpaying!:eek:

    I didn't think the Daz was risky:rotfl::rotfl::(.
