I'll check my local IGA closer next time. Do you still Jack the Slasher food stores/warehouses? They were magic, no bags, just cardboard boxes for taking your stuff home. eta - it was a Queensland thing, fucking sure I was in one at NSW.

You would walk over and find the box/boxes suitable for your food supply, then pack up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would walk over and find the box/boxes suitable for your food supply, then pack up. Sounds like shops like Templetons and Fine Fare back in the day. In our local supermarket they still have staff packing shopping and many folk choose boxes rather than bags - mainly because the bags are crap and the arse falls out of them too easily. I still smile when I remember my old man getting off the bus and discovering the bottom had fallen out of a carrier bag (Tesco) and our Sunday roast was now somebody else's Sunday roast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Derry Pele Posted August 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2023 Passed my final module at uni. Went to Napier straight out of school, dropped out before the end of Y3 to take a full time job. Enrolled at UWS at the start of the covid era, having to redo third year and a bit of second year because the degree name was a bit different. After several delays I got to my final module in the spring; then UWS got ransomwared so results only got published yesterday. Just a plain BA, undecided on continuing to honours but I have a year to make the decision. The main thing is that when I left Napier I promised myself I’d finish what I started and I’m finally there 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I was woken up this morning (01:30) by a phonecall from someone I haven't seen nor spoken to in a couple years. She was crying and slightly drunk. The reason she called? She went into a takeaway we used to use and the guy asked how I was. It's just cheered is up a bit that some random guy has caused us to get back in touch. Also, she was crying because her "spicy chicken pizza and chicken pakora" was actually margarita pizza and a tub of coleslaw by the time she got home. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Witnessed the bairn doing a 'Maradona 7' (left foot, right foot, left knee, right knee, left shoulder, right shoulder, head) for the first time, he has been attempting it for ages. So good to witness it when he finally managed. Maybe one for the 'Little Things' thread? Then he made a superb Lasagne. Some boi like. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy FFC Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) I wanted a couple of coloured Philips Hue bulbs but I wasn’t wanting to pay full price, about £85 for two. Searched the Philips Hue store and Amazon and couldn’t find any decent offers. Went onto the Argos site and found a starter kit of 2 bulbs and a hub for £50. The price elsewhere is £130, so I’m thinking a pricing mistake. Bought a kit saving myself a fair bit of money, and a spare hub to boot.

Like all fathers of potentially exceptional football players you should prepare yourself accordingly and take lessons in tax dodging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
