    All these places we've never visited:rotfl:. It now reminds me of M, in a strange way, and how the countries we've not visited could be items that return N/A for M as not found. Very random - could have picked a different item/country (that we had been to) and got a positive (or is that negative?:think:) return.
    It is haphazard and random and reflects how items randomly come and go from different Morrisons.

    Anyway, see you later folks.:wave:

    Ah:idea:. I had thought of a real gun, but if it's items at the fairground then I would answer yes. So the 'survey' is all flawed anyway as we are all answering it according to our own different interpretation:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.:T

    Some are close. I've not served on a jury but I was once called for jury service but then returned the form and got excused (that someone then said was very unusual indeed - it doesn't happen very often, but sometimes people aren't able to serve for various legitimate reasons and are exempt from service).

    I haven't seen someone die, but I have seen someone who was dead (unfortunately).

    As to whether I've "lived alone", it would depend on how long you have to be alone to class as "living alone", although really I wouldn't have thought in any real sense my temporary and transient situation, at any point in my life, would be "living alone". Like, I've lived alone when my parents were once out for a week's holiday. That's hardly "living alone". At least not IMO. Fwiw, I no longer live with my parents but I am not living alone.

    I nearly left Barcelona uncrossed - is there a difference between "Been to" and "Visited"?:think: - as, although I "visited" Barcelona, it was on a round-trip journey rather than me specifically "going to" there in order to come back. So, I've not "been to" Barcelona, as I didn't specifically go there to "be" there, instead I happened to visit it as part of a journey - I happened to stop there but, again, not as part of "been to". However, I'm taking a literal interpretation there and decided that, in reality, the answer is a cross to Barcelona. But I nearly left it blank:rotfl:. I think it's how I tend to look at everything, in order to work out what it means (which is usually immediately obvious but sometimes is not) - but most people just see something and 'know' what it means or just take one answer or assume. I suppose I did that on the "gun" question (well, not a question, but you know what I mean) - I normally analyse in detail but, on that occasion, I was more like the 'normal person' and just took one thing immediately from what was being 'asked', assumed it meant that and didn't imagine it meant something else (like a fairground).

    I went for the real thing...and no I haven't...but like you the answer could be yes if you include fairgrounds and water pistols!

    :hello:I'm just popping in (you've dragged onto the thread by this post below:rotfl:). Not much change in M as far as I can see, but a number of items are no longer in my first store, which they were in before, and have all now moved into my second store today:rotfl:. Completely irrelevant but I'm sure I'll mention about them incessantly later on:D. Of course, not much change but the usual 100 completely new items collected:rotfl:.

    This is mine - of course I've read every word of my own posts:rotfl:. In fact, I don't think anyone else can truthfully claim to have read all of my posts (does that include original versions or posts with every amendment as and when they have ever been made? - ambiguity over the word "post":rotfl:) - and what about the deleted posts that were literally up for 20 seconds before I changed my mind? There was one such post only yesterday. I posted something, only to realise seconds later that the information was completely wrong, so I immediately deleted it, within seconds of it being posted, and I doubt that anyone else would ever have seen it, indeed that was the intention. You would have to have come onto the thread at literally that moment and pressed refresh to have seen it - I doubt anyone would have done so (although, with the information age (a dated term maybe?:think:) and the internet, arguably nothing that is posted on the internet is ever truly deleted).



    It's the usual busy rest of the day - so I'll see you much later for the M list update.
    Bye now:wave:.

    Brilliant Savvy, well done:T
    This is why we love you!:D
