You could come here tomorrow and housesit whilst the maintenance man puts a third layer of plaster over the termite damage? It's certainly working for me.

Now that's tempting S, very tempting.... but I'm thinking that the Woolworths story sounds somehow better... not much, admittedly, but some...

I feel a Simon 'our tune' Bates moment coming on!

". . . their finger's touched for what could only have been a second, but for young, love-lorn Sally Seasider . . . it seemed like a glorious, elctrically-charged eternity . . . and she knew, deep-down, that this man, this special man whom she'd only just met and who stood next to her now, as they both refilled the blackjacks on the pick'n'mix counter, was the man she would spend the rest of her life with . . . ."

dadadadaaaaaaa dadadaaaaa dadaaaaaaaa dada dadaaadaaaaaaaa

I said I was up for being bored, Spartacus, but not so I was comatose.

SNORTSNORT

My Dad didn't work in Woolies, Spartacus you divvy.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of, Woolworths has a lot to answer for but then if they hadn't got together you wouldn't have the pleasure of my incessant ramblings, so I really shouldn't be so selfish.

I'm a Mod. I had to read it. I don't care either. Been discussed to death and anyway, how does a retail outlet rest in peace?

I really love you Pen.

<hic>

Mmmmmmm Stollen.....

Holy Crap Tiddlypom...I am wondering if you have some sort of axe to grind with the OP.

If you responded to a post of mine like that I'd be might pissed off...

Great pick & mix

i'm going to buy something in memory when I'm back next week.

I have no axe to grind at all.

I thought I was being all helpful, like... saying 'oh look, you've had f-ing hundreds of views but no-one's replying cos they've out commented themselves in the previous two weeks' .... perhaps if I'd put a smiley, the OP would have been all nice to me?
But she wasn't.
She gave me a nice little caustic reply to put me in my place.

But honey, I don't know my place. I don't actually have one.
I tried to be helpful and since then have just taken pleasure in taking the piss of someone who can find a Woolworths demise thread so sodding important given the crisis in the Congo, or torture in (pick your country).

I don't care about sodding Woolworths.
Funny you didn't pick up on the OP's reply to me when I tried to explain the lack of replies. Hmmmm? Maybe you're male and don't pick up on when a female's being bitchy?

I care about people.... and children.... And quite a few cane toads.... and other defenceless creatures who don't have the ability to speak up for themselves.

You might be pissed off... but I doubt it, because I suspect you don't have an inflated sense of your own importance ... or an ego that needs massaging.

Tally ho my dear.

Like I said to the OP, have a merry Christmas.

Yrs, drunkly but very very happy.
TP

Yeah baby!

Want some?

woolies was shite. succinct enough?

I thought she was a bit rude as well ! You know the thread is about Woolworths , if your not intrested ,then dont read it .Not everboby is on here day in day out ,so its quite easy to miss an earlier post about woolies.
If you were just pointing out the fact that it had been done before,you could have said it a bit nicer,rather than sounding like a nasty teacher telling her pupil off

I will miss Woolies
