    The word "funny" is a funny (strange) word. Funny peculiar and funny ha-ha. So much so that, to prevent confusion, I always say "amusing" these days when I mean "funny ha ha" and I say "strange" when I mean the other meaning of "funny". So I never really write "that was funny" (I might 'slip-up' in speech sometimes) - but I suspect my pedantic accuracy in ensuring I use a precise word, such as writing "amusing" rather than the ambiguous "funny", is just me?

    Have you got a strange funny bone then savvy:D

    Oh LFAB, no need to feel like that. Don't feel bad :( You found something you thought might benefit us all and you shared.
    I don't know why there's so much anger from people because it's not in their stores.....that's just how it is.
    I'm sure there's no suggestion that you would abuse it in any way, well other than spending your APGs in Ts as well as As as we all would. You're sensible enough not to be greedy.
    You lot miss out on a lot up there glitch wise and I, for one, am happy for anyone lucky enough to be able to take advantage of this.
    Fill your boots and don't feel bad about it :)hug4.gif

    LFAB, I don't have a way with words, so if you don't mind fc, I'll just second this :)

    Probably a regional thing? If I see something strange, I tend to say 'Oh that's funny'

    I have a strange sense of humour sometimes:D.

    Should be funny-bone rather than funny bone. I think:o. (Otherwise it'd be a "strange, funny" bone.:rotfl:)

    I feel the need to point out that yes I did use my APG's in T's today, purely because my local stores are part of the trial. I only used them once each, I haven't been reprinting them loads and reusing them as imho that would just be really stupid, wouldn't exactly be hard to work out who was doing it. T's may not be the brightest at times, but in reality how many people are going to be using them in T's, not that many up here anyways and I don't fancy getting banned from stores or anything worse,
    No they didn't ask for the accompanying A's receipt. It was scanned and after a bit of a conflab over the T&C's they were accepted as they should have been.

    I'm almost wishing I hadn't posted about it now and just let the other few lucky ones who have it locally discover it for themselves. I hoped it was going to be a nationwide thing when I seen it and just wanted to try and give a little something back to the thread that has given me so much the last few years.

    :o

    I do too - as I said, that's speech (not always thought about - hence the lack of filter sometimes with ASD:rotfl:) - in fact, I wouldn't normally say (as opposed to write) "strange", I'd normally say "funny" - then again, the context would probably be clear which one I meant and, if not, the misunderstanding is hardly significant to a spoken conversation (such as you get with me:D:D:rotfl:).

    In writing, though, I [Strike]tend to be[/Strike] am pedantically accurate. Most of the time:rotfl:.
