    good job that when i was a kid, camera phones and social media weren't a thing!


    a £9 apg can be a £90 apg if used in a smart way. ;+)

    I have to remind myself of this a lot. God if my kids got up to half what I did I would kill them!

    A cheeky price increase on the SP Spaghetti:( (perhaps trying to be as expensive as Sains:(, and, whether trying or not, succeeding to be). Still not comparing against M:(:(; this is vs T:

    believe me, no one on the fb group have a phd.

    ask nerf about this bwtfyl group. he wont tell me anything.

    ask COT, hes an admin on the skippy club i think. he does most of the !!!!!ing on there anyway lol

    Does most of the what-ing on there? They're wasting my time now, as I'm spending hours and hours with various things going round and round my mind, struggling and trying to work out what you meant to say. I've gone up and, I suspect, to far worse than what you ever meant and would never have thought about had you been able to print the full original word and still struggling to work it out. Five exclamations? Most of the screwing?:question: Is it shopping? - are you replacing it with exclamations yourself to try to disguise? I'm sorry, either you or the automatic censor has drawn way much attention to the whole thing and, as someone who sometimes does not get things if they are conveyed subtlely rather than being given clearly and without doubt. Therefore, I'm afraid I'm going to have to do what people suggest I do when I don't know what someone means: I ask them to tell me:o:o:o, clearly and without doubt:o:o. :eek:May be inappropriate here as people don't literally mean that you have to ask always on every occasion: however, I do not know, so, especially as you (and they) have drawn the attention to me and raised the matter as an issue, I must now ask: what exactly do you mean? Either you should tell me precisely and clearly, so that I can understand you, or, if you cannot use the word and have to use exclamations, then you should not have gone anywhere near the partial phrase itself and should have used neither the word nor the exclamations.

    EDIT: :idea:I think I've now worked out, myself, the original word but not until after having gone through way worse for the last five minutes - and only now to reach the original word anyway, which is an extremely mild word and not even used in a swearword sense. It also has a legitimate meaning of a female dog. I note the site does censor it. The use as a verb, i.e. to [female dog] is a normal phrase and not swearing. You can [that word] about something all the time and I'm sure Martin does himself! However, I am leaving this OP of mine up, to show how I've gone to way worse (and that was the mild form of what I thought about), which isn't censored at all, and how the forum 'filter' added a sexual meaning in the phrase, that was never there originally, and made it way more offensive. Sorry folks, moving on...merely annoyed at my time being wasted by the filter!:mad::mad:

    Sounds interesting, any chance of divulging?

    I know the new system with the 2 barcodes shouldn't allow us to use the same receipt more than once, not that I would ever do that.

    The only problem I think with the gift cards is if you lose them, I've not registered mine as I like to remain anonymous. If you register I presume you would be okay if you lost them.
