My favourite pastime: shopping

    Sarcasm doesn’t really come across on a blog does it?

    So, was up early today and decided to do my shopping before the sheep all goto Tesco.

    It’s actually quite nice early in the morning – parking spot near the door (for a fast getaway), the aisles are fairly clear, and the checkouts unclogged.

    There were a few people around though, and I saw something that makes my blood boil: Parents who sit/stand their kids IN the trolley. Now the trolleys have a child seat for little ‘uns which is understandable, but letting their germ-ridden shoes into the bit where other people may be putting fresh produce is just so wrong – if they’re too big for the seat, make the little fuckers walk around, or leave them in the car/at home (obviously with supervision). If I had the misfortune to work in a supermarket, I’d tell ’em 😐

    Had a great night last night though – few drinks with Lisa, and a really good laugh in the King’s Head (my new local – good beer, nice bar staff, and the prices aren’t too bad).

    1. ‘a great night’ even though you had to admit you were wrong twice???!!! 🙄

      1. Yes twice…still always good to see a hobbit get on a stool though (I wasn’t looking at your bum honest!)

    2. There was me thinking that you were being very chivalrous by offering up your stool, when in actual fact it was all for your amusement!! 🙄

      …and stop looking at my bum! 😯

      1. It was actually a chivalrous act – it just had the added bonus of the chance to check out your bum 🙂

        1. Thanks for the stool … stop looking at my bum! 👿

          1. I’m not 🙂

            1. Good – keep it that way. 😈

    3. …At the moment 😉

    4. Stay in that moment!! 😯

      1. Too late…I moved on 😛

        1. Then move back! 🙄

          1. To get a better view?

            1. That may be difficult with two black & swollen eyes! 👿

    5. I’m not a panda…and you’d need a stepladder 😉

      1. Haha, your naivity is sweet, but you are so misguided! You’re not THAT tall! 🙄

        1. Taller than a hobbit.

          1. The average height of a hobbit was supposed to be about 3’6″. I am 5’1″ so I am also taller than a hobbit! 😐

            1. Wikipedia is your friend huh?

    6. No. My one true love is Google. 😉

      1. And that led you to wikipedia…

    7. Nooooooo, I’d never cheat on Google like that!

        1. tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Hobbits seemed liked the more appropriate one.

          🙂

          You haven’t posted your ‘Paul looks like an Orc’ picture!!!

          1. Well, why don’t you? you can post images in comments – you just need to know a little HTML 😉

    8. I don’t need to know ‘a little HTML’. I know you!!! 😀

      1. Yes, yes you do – we should all be thankful for some things 🙂

        1. Yes, I thank my lucky stars every day!! 😯

            1. 😐

    9. All this talk of lucky stars has made me hungry

        1. Hmm…I’m sure Milky Way did some Lucky Stars shaped things, but can’t seem to find them on t’internet.

          On an unrelated note – why is it when someone says ‘eh’ I immediately think of Canadians?

          (how do you spell Canada? C eh N eh D eh)

          1. You’ll find the Milky Way Stars in Tesco. I think they’re near the Freddo bars! 😀

            I also refer you to one of my comments on another post … ‘your spelling is shit!’ 😯

            1. /lazy mode on

              Can you not give me the link you refer to?

      1. Your website makes me crave sweets every time I log on. It’s the “this is where I waffle” that does it to me. Every. Time.

        1. What’s wrong with pancakes?

          1. I dunno – I think it dates back to my time with an Easy-Bake oven. They had a pancake mix that you slopped together and put in a metal dish and “baked” under a light bulb. My pancakes always tasted like llama droppings (I’d assume?) so I started adding things to it…. candy from under the couch cushion, leaves from my dads garden, rabbit food… Anyway – I’d try and give my dad these delightful treats and he’d never eat them…. I think I’ve been horrified of pancakes ever since. And baking. And cooking in general…

    10. How to impress people – especially your boss (aka: how NOT to be a numpty*)

      Indeed, but your spelling is shit!

      That’s as good as it gets!!! 😯

    11. No, no – THIS is a link 🙂

      1. Now where was I was going to tell you to shove that link…? 😐

    12. Um…at a wild guess, I’d say here?

      1. Yes, yours! 😀

        1. Should I say “Thank you ma’am”?

          1. I don’t know, should you? 😯

            1. Probably not…

    13. Ok then. 😐
