    You know, I fell very tired earlier and put some tunes on in the background (12" versions so I didn't have to keep idly pressing as often to find another track) and, you know when you doze off then wake up and feel even tireder than if you'd stayed fully awake? That.

    I've been keeping a record of every link I've listened to in the past couple of sessions now and now got around 70:eek: tracks. (I won't call them 'songs' as some of them aren't singing-type things). It would take me well over a year if I posted one a week:rotfl:. Trouble is I can't pick one out at all, as I like them all equally. And to stop me from posting the entire lot...:eek: Tell you what...to help me decide, folks, can three of you each pick a number from zero to 9 (inclusive) and let me know your chosen number - not telling you what this is in aid of:p:D - then with the three numbers I have a system - yes, a system:cool::rotfl: - to pick out one of the tracks from the few hours of listening I've done over a couple of non-consecutive days - gosh, I have to give every detail of accuracy don't I?:cool::rotfl::rotfl:

    I pick 2, 3 and 7 :D

    Edit oops I thought you said 3 numbers :o.......just 2 then :o. That's the number 2 not 2 numbers! :D Oh dear I'm starting to sound like you :eek: :p

    I got some strange till spits in Morries today. I got the £1.50 off £20 that others have been getting on my first shop, then it got a week 3 savers one??, and on the third shop I got one that told me if I bought a bottle of Bacardi I could claim a free glass.

    Of course I rushed straight to the Bacardi aisle :p :whistle: who could resist spending £17 to get a free glass :eek: :D :rotfl:

    That was sarcasm savvy :)

    I hope you used your £1.50 off when you bought your rum, but really you should have waited until the third week. ;)

    Guess what...I've had to count them now - and there are exactly 70 tracks:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Would be 1 to 70 (if I did it that way, which I'm not :( (your frown)) rather than 0 to 70:rotfl:.

    If this track you are playing turns out to be this track, I will be most upset :p

    Of course I'm catching up with something posted over 10 months ago:rotfl:.

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=63308188&postcount=2

    I was just searching the Net for Morries "Savers". In fact, looking for sonething about the name and the implication that it "saves" you money - on the odd occasion here and there, up a level can actually save people more (apart from the supermarkets that is:rotfl:).

    But this post made me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    It is this part:

    "My latest Aldi discovery is the cereals. Recently tried their version of Frosties and Rice Krispies and found they taste identical to the brand - couldn't believe I wasted so much money on Kellogg's over the years when these were available. [...]"

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:That's the brand trick for you:D.

    I'm not suggesting there is any 'con' there at all, but instead the magic: that the brand names get people to spend money.:rotfl::(

    Having tried various own brand and Frosties, Kelloggs win hands down ... :cool:

    I am not a brand snob and often have switched to own brand where there is no real difference, and don't regularly have Frosties, Coco Pops etc in the house, but with some products you can tell the difference. I think the worst were S rice crispies (the basic range in a bag not a box) - we ended up binning them after one bowl as even I couldn't eat them to make a point :o. Also Nescafe Gold Blend - no own brand compares (IMHO) and I have tried most to try to save money (so just buy when on offer)!

    Fortunately with glitch shopping we have had some really nice products to get over my MSE ways :cool:.

    Oh all right then...better be a good tune. (It is guaranteed to be something I like:rotfl:.)

    Those three numbers give this:

    (Oh. A bit commercial - even gets played on Radio 2 that song:eek::rotfl::rotfl:. Interesting choice:rotfl::(:D:):cool::rotfl:.)

    I am not going back to Morries until there's another coupon. I remembered today why I don't go in there!! No offence to our pensioner contingent on here, you are all sprightly and know how to move around a supermarket stealthily! :D
    But my Morries is jam packed with pensioners who dither and leave their trolleys at awkward angles mid aisle, causing a major traffic jam. And that's just the ones that haven't met a long lost friend at the end of an aisle :eek: :rotfl:
