Evening elite! Just got home. Missing Iceland like crazy! I'll post a few pictures and recommendations tomorrow.

I hope everyone is happy and healthy. And yes I do mean everyone

In terms of glitches and bargains, how far would you recommend I read back? Hope that's ok to ask!

:T:T

6 pages-ish?

Been a quiet-ish day/evening.



Can't wait for the pics.

:think: I think the use of the word "unfortunately" was part of the social setting - a social persuasion of most people in order to gain their co-operation and their compliance with the rule. That's all it functioned as, not an actual statement of whether something was unfortunate or not. So, my 'context blindness' rears itself again:eek::rotfl:. I hope it interests the general reader as to how I interpret things - it's interesting isn't it? - or maybe not, maybe only interesting to me:rotfl: - another example from my perspective of not saying something because it is truly meant but instead it's part of the 'getting on people's good sides' or 'softening them up', maybe, so that they are more allegiant towards compliance. Not that that is a bad thing - and I'm not suggesting it's wrong to use methods of persuasion (or, in the rather starkly-written way, to "soften people up") to gain rule-compliance (if indeed that is what they are, and I have no impartial opinion on that matter). For myself, though, people wouldn't need to do persuasion or anything - I'd automatically and consistently comply and truth or any reasonable approach, which could include persuasion, would suffice.

Dotty you will be pleased to hear I have had two priority moments today. :j :T

:idea:I think this sort of use of "unfortunate[ly]" arose recently with me didn't it? When a price scheme said unfortunately you haven't got enough items or unfortunately it's more than 28 days' old. Yes, but that "unfortunateness" only arises because you yourself have decided to write and put in that rule, without which the allegedly "unfortunate" situation would not have arisen!:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I bet it's very "unfortunate" that the receipt hasn't got enough items that that, therefore, you are spared from having to issue a possible voucher refund on it!:rotfl:

Today I have got free Halfords de icer (£2), free WHS calendar (£9.99), free Argos iphone case (£9.99), and with my Ts mocs I got free finest side dish, 2 nearly free made on the premises Ts pizza, free melon, three free grapefruit and three free lemons. :j:j:j :money:

I may get my Elite badge yet.

Well I find it interesting
DS2 is very similar about rules. He's also very vocal if he spots anyone flouting any :eek:

Excellent :T:j

Yes I am off to get a calendar tomorrow Although I remember last year that there was so much choice I didn't know which one to go for :rotfl:

One little word, eh, and I'm off!:rotfl: (I'm good at that - picking out one tiny little word in the middle of some dense prose and taking it to wonder what their meaning really was.)

Anyway, I trust you enjoyed my company (my 'input') again, it's time for me to "turn in" (is that a turn of phrase? A couple of words and so much meaning!), so therefore just one more word from me at this point:

Bye!!:beer::T:D:wave::wave:
