Based on another forum I visit, I've created a new thread just for chatting. Got something to say that doesn't need a thread of its own? Whatever daft old tripe is stuck in your brain and needs filtering out, post it here

I am getting very addicted to Bid TV, Price-drop TV and speed auction TV so much so that my housework is getting neglected
I nearly bought some Vidal Sasoon hair straighteners the other day because they were £2.99 I would never use them, I had some once and gave them away because I didn't use them.
When I was in woolies there was a woman looking at Fur real friends pets (which are nearly 50 quid) and I said to her don't buy that from here it's only £16.99 on Price-drop TV... I didn't even know this woman I bet she thought I was a right loon
What'll I do?
Post by: smurfboy on November 17, 2006, 12:42:00 pm
I've seen that at my parents' house and it's horribly addictive. My mother and I came so close to bidding on dozens of things we knew very well we'd never use, purely because the low price draws you in.

Horatio is the hero! with his cheesey one liners as he looks into the camera and saves the day its great. Grishams pretty funny too ! I am not a big fan of CSI NY either I dont know why the music sometimes annoy me and they were doing product placement for ring tones and phones the other night which put me off a bit, but apart from that CSI rocks !

I have it on good authority that the new word for 'cool' is now officially 'dandy'. Everything is being described as dandy by the teenage residents and visitors in this house.
Wasn't there a brief phase when teenagers described 'cool' things as 'gravy'?

Yes the chemist said it it the thing people come back for when bonjela and medigel doesn't work. It's a small bottle of liquid that you rub on and it it is an antiseptic anaesthetic so the soreness goes immediately. It was £2.99.

Did the pain come back after a while? I'll remember to ask for that next time I get an ulcer.
No it numbs the pain and you can apply up to 8 times in 24 hours so if you remember to apply every few hours the pain stays away while the ulcer gets better.

I had fish and chips at a pub today and had to wait nearly 45 mins for it to arrive. When it did, there was a distinct lack of chips on the plate. One of my friends had to wait 1 hour and 10 mins for some bangers and mash to arrive! When we went to see what was going on, they said that they were "just making the gravy"

I swear if I had just woke up I would have thought I was in a foreign country. The main trouble is the veils. They do scare me. Maybe it stems from my childhood fear of nuns.

That's why I hate living here. I'm not racist but a lot of the blacks and asians around where I live are very uncivilised and don't treat people with respect.

Quote from: goldencupI'm going to New York tomorrow with seven female friends and I'm ridiculously excited about it. I shan't be buying any Hershey's chocolate though!The exchange rate is excellent so you should get some good bargains!
Only if you want to buy really expensive designer stuff which I didn't. Still, I didn't go for the shopping and I had a BRILLIANT time!

Some woman has e-mailed me three times since Friday wanting to know why I haven't left her any eBay feedback yet. Maybe because she's a nagging harpy driving me up the bloody wall
OOps sorry that was me... have you left it yet?
