Vlad,   do calm yourself m'dear.   It's not good for the old ticker.

You say  . . .    "Thank you GM even online deliveries have their problem, I once ended up with a delivery of 4 kg of salt, I only wanted a little refill...I am still using it..."

But the salt will be handy if we have snowstorms tomorrow,  or you could go on Slug patrol around your prize Dahlias, armed with a pot full of the stuff.

You could keep some to cure any hides you might have in the shed,   or I've heard in some religions they use it so sprinkle around to keep bad spirits away even. 

Personally,  I think the Dahlia idea might be more useful.

Just out of interest,  can anyone please tell me why Wordle is in 'General Discussions' and not in with all the other games?   I always forget, and have to go searching for it!

Looking forward to the next episode. 👍🏽

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 09:52:28 AMVlad.. You have a wonderful sense of humour.. and are able to use it when writing.
I too like to get out there early before those other people arrive..
My favourites are the loyal husbands who hang on to a trolley and stand exactly where the wife tells them..

Been there, done it, frozen to the spot, hand on trolley in a death grip, there should be a holding area for husbands who have been told.." Wait!" by the boss. Were we can stay until collected. 

Another thing that really annoys me is the complete twats who just at the point of completing checkout process sends the other half off to aisle 152 for some must have organic product and then shrug and smile at you as they hold the whole bloody  line up. Of course, you have all your shopping on the belt and are hemmed in so going to another checkout isn't an option.

The supermarkets should provide complimentary access to the PA for me to announce "This is a customer irritated announcement. This dickhead in the wax jacket and hunter boots is holding the line up because of (A) Failure to plan and (B) because little Tarquin simply has to have organic olive paste. If anyone in the store has a pistol or suitable edged weapon please bring it to checkout number 3 immediately."

Furthermore, the cashier who tries to strike up a chat. "Any nice plans for the weekend?" In my shopping is a cut loaf, bacon, eggs, brown sauce, a family pack of Doritos and 2 slabs of Stella. "What bloody plans do you think I have love?"  

Sue dreamed that Robert Redford had asked her out to tea
That dream was sadly ended when she woke up for a pee

From observation a Bus Pass seems to me to often be a licence to block supermarket aisles. Not that the young are any better. Nor the middle aged. If fact everybody except me seems to have one.

Just as well you didn't find a burnt club or spade.  Heaven only knows what your rummy playing friends would have to say about it😬

You'd be relocated to Coventry no doubt.

Oh dear Sally groaned with a sigh
Slipping from her hands she gave out a cry
Down on the pavement it fell with a splat
Only to be lapped up by next doors cat
And Giuseppe drove off without a 'goodbye'


Sue dreamed that Robert Redford had asked her out to tea

I Wonder who is missing that.. !
