Been into Tesco Express and saw 6 onion bhajis reduced to £1. I was gonna buy them but the pricing guy came along and starting repricing the reduced shelf. So I did the rest of my shopping, went back to the bhajis and found he put them up to £1.15!!!

FFS, I would have paid £1.15 in the first place for them but I'm not having them now!
Is it weird that I'm reading your rant posts in the voice of Larry David?

I'm getting flipping sick of the repetitive stadium music in the Santos Laguna v Pachuca match, in Mexico. Great idea to have music replacing the crowd but it must be driving traders and players bonkers!

FFS, I'm now watching a US Major with some idiot constantly shouting out left, right, left, left, right, right, for the full 90 minutes presumably! You'd think his players know what foot to use!!

Train down to London had powerpoints but no table seats, train back has table seats and no powerpoints. :x

I spent most of last year travelling back and forth to London for work and never knew there was power points under the seats! I was on the West Coast mainline so I'm hoping it's a different set of trains otherwise I'll kick myself!

Just got home. The cat appears to have been well fed but it seems my neighbour hasn't been letting her out, or emptying the litter tray. There was a pile of shit on the bathroom floor!

The only plus side was that it was solid lumps, so I could put on disposable gloves and pick them up without spreading it around the floor.

Er, no it didn't.

It really is getting like 1984. They'll be re-writing history books next.
I thought they built Britain's Got Talent!

They may have been a different pack of Bhajis ... someone else may have got 'yours' for 50p! :D

I was looking for some garden lights when I found some for a penny each. I thought I'd have 6, wondering what's the catch and then I came across this!

In the old days some companies chose names like Aadvark, A1, AAA etc in the hope you'd call them first when you were looking for a plumber or cab etc in the Yellow Pages.
I think that 0.01p plus postage has become the new Aardvark for the digital age.

Why didn't you qualify for Prime delivery ?
Maybe if you buy 206 garden lights and bring the order up to 50 quid.
Goodbye night sky

I clicked on the link and it just took me to a search page. But I think it's £7.99 P&P for each light. They must be sending them in a limousine. :?
