Everyone lost in the Ether II

I know people will disagree, but what used to be called "family viewing time" runs up to 9pm. Programmes after 9pm are for adults, increasingly (depending on how later it then gets). They may therefore not be considered to be suitable for families that include children and are not what would, rather strangely perhaps, be called "family shows" (even if people may record and watch them with children or children stay up and watch TV after 9pm). As the adult, you are responsible for what your children watch in your home. The 'baby-sitting' role played by broadcasters ends at 9pm. If you don't think something is suitable for your children, you should not let them watch it (albeit that doing so will probably then increase their attention in it and make them want to see it even more so).

Clarification: I suggest above that the term "family show" is rather strange because this would be family viewing for my family (as my family doesn't include kids).

I was actually shocked that the dingo dollar questions mostly revolved around sex and infidelity. While not totally aimed at children I bet it is very popular among them where Big brother isn't. Pretty much a family show. OK my kids where in bed at 9 pm with telly off on a school night until they were around 12.
They felt they missed out on things on after 9 pm as many of their friends watched them do I recorded while I watched and let them watch N the morning before school.
I digress the questions are not suitable for what is very much a family show:eek:

Must contemplate getting an earlier nights sleep than normal as driving up to my sister's tomorrow. Luckily it is the Dartford tunnel on the way up then I hope bridge open Monday and no operation stack.

I'm free with my children because I was shut up as a child. I like it that we have no boundaries with regard to what we can talk about. OK Ds2 pushes it a little :eek: but in general anything goes here.

Houseguest brought his girlfriend for dinner tonight. She was lovely, very polite and sweet. She brought me a plant. We had dinner and pretty much talked about what was going on at school. I'm so very chuffed for him because he's happy and this girl is good for him. he was very protective and gentalmanly over her. in a nice to see old fashioned way. Go him!

Ah, a trap!(:rotfl:Not really.) You said don't quote you in full so I didn't go to quote at all.

Well done:T:T:T. They bought some Champagne that is £14:D:T cheaper in T - and a further £3 in 10%. Also £5.90 on some Brut as they were pricematched at £59. Only a couple of other items compared - they lost a bit (obviously nothing that removed the £17:D:D in difference and 10% on the Champers). I definitely think your biggest trout needs to be presented with that receipt and voucher! It's totally non-glitchy so there are no grounds at all for them to refuse! Nice, big, loud (but non-abusive!) presentation of the voucher in front of other customers I think!:D

yes you got my thoughts entierly correct :beer:

the trout in question which i have reported. has no idea what i do

she trouted meover the sun cidre vouchers. saying i got to buy less than 3 so they scan ok thus avoiding the multi :rotfl:
which i then did and surprise surprise the same happened. her attitude then changed and she told me that it was too much hard work and no further vouchers would be taken,
so i rang hq and said quite honestly that i was going to use the rest of my vouchers in sainsbug and morry. (that week) tesco following weeks.
i was told not to and wold get an apology from the store if i wanted it. i said no as the manager the week before had told me there was no problem in me using them.
the next week i asked someone to check for me if a multi was on a product (comfort) she interfered and said if its not onthe sell then there is no multi. so i then had it checked at cs and there was. did not report her that time although now i wish i had.
trust me, i knoww what we do deserves a lot of attention of which i would not report. but again, she has no idea about what i/we do

I hope there are lots more now that you have got me onto the matter:D:D:D:o(:rotfl:).

I mean - what? Is that the number admitting that they have, in their own view, a too small penis?

I'm perfectly happy with size thank you very much!:D:cool: Next...

teehee......it just tickled me savvy. I'm all for free conversation but having a conversation about penis size with a 14 year old wasn't on my agenda.
it did tickle me though :rotfl::rotfl:

What was the percentage btw?

I thought it went up to 2.6 more recently? You're out of date!:D
It's an average. Some of us have had grown-up children and are no longer with our parents and don't have our own kids.

Come on... 14 year old is old enough for that in my view!

:rotfl::rotfl:

As soon as you mention they make it so difficult that you might as well shop elsewhere...:D:rotfl: (Don't do that, please, we beg you not!:D)

:rotfl: about having to buy fewer than three so as to make their life easier!

I had the same experience with the Maltesers. I saw only £1 on the SEL so I went asked CS if the tubes were on mbuy. CS person said "I'll go and check for you." "But I've already looked - they say £1 but are they?" I explained I had seen them online on mbuy and the CS person insisted that they were £1 saying that the prices instore aren't the same as online. They weren't therefore going to check how they scanned for me, which was what I'd wanted. So :(I ended up having to check them on SS first myself and, surprise surprise the SEL said £1 - no indication of any mbuy - but the Maltesers were on 3 for £2. They know absolutely nothing. I had a very brief moment, after my shop, of feeling like going back to tell her they were on mbuy after all (and thank you for being so helpful:rotfl:) or at least showing her the receipt "saving". However, I thought why even bother?

I'm sure if I have a similar situation in future and were to go to CS first - though to be fair this experience makes me not want even to bother as it would be pointless because - I'd be saying "I know the shelf does not say any mbuy but are they really not on mbuy?" and, doubtless, getting the response that, if the SEL doesn't say it, then they can't be. Absolutely totally wrong - they know nowt! "Well, can you check?" "Well, no, because the SEL says that":wall:. I never take the absence of an mbuy from a SEL to mean that there isn't a multibuy offer in existence on them.

Of course I should just read this thread:doh: (need to do so more thoroughly before I leave to go to the store - but, to be fair, it's time consuming) - you all here know far more what the real prices are than the stores.

I have a little story about last nights I'm a celeb. Those who watch it will have seen the question about 'what percentage of British men wish they had a bigger penis.....'
DS2 just didn't get it he went on a rantathon about why anyone could possibly want a bigger penis. I mean he was so disgusted that such a question was asked that he couldn't shut himself up. it was all very animated and loud and I found myself picking up the iPad to stare at and avoid it :rotfl:
I wasn't going there with him. He eventually caught my attention and practically shouted at me 'Well mum, can you think of a reason why anyone would want a bigger penis' I said 'no son I can't' :eek: and kept a straight face.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

We got to the break and he said 'well my dad has a penis so I'm going to ask him'
OH looks in the door a few minutes later with a '!!!!!!' look on his face :rotfl::rotfl:

Break over....he sits down again and said 'Well my Dad doesn't want a bigger penis and I can tell you I don't either. it just sounds painful and I don't know where they get those percentages from'

i watched it also and i know they got it wrong. but what were the % answers to choose from.
in other words did they go too high or too low on the answer.
i think they over %aged but cant remember.
on another matter, i think you are so so deserving of your avatar
