Horses for courses, when I was in the market for mine a rear wiper was a prerequisite. The only thing I don't understand about a 911's rear wiper is it doesn't have a screen wash function, at least not on the 997's.

Quite a busy road so not that practical.
Do do it sometimes though.

The more Fast food you eat the more points you earn to buy more fast food.
hmmm wonder if you can accumulate McDonalds points for Liposuction or NHS bills later in life

What is even more surprising is that a hash brown costs £1.50. I’m sure it was only 99p not too long ago.
Why would I care about the natural carbon footprint of different coloured hens? Do the others use plastic straws or drive diesel cars?

Was it you or Ryan posting about eggs before?
I got questioned for spending £5.25 on 12 eggs in Waitrose and tried to justify with I only go in for the eggs. I think Ryan said something about just do all your shopping there but then I wouldn’t have any nice watches!
Posh poverty earlier. Bit of leftover steak and a hard boiled egg as a snack followed by a banana.
I found a huge metal tin of quality street from Christmas last night and went to town. Feel awful today, it’s like a hangover.
What baffles me is why people eat that junk.

Because they're probably too lazy to rock up in the kitchen and knock something half decent up...
What is this left over steak of which you speak? Never happens.
Huge metal tin can only mean Costco purchase. They’re huge compared to the abysmally small supermarket plastic tubs.
Talking of Costco - surprised no one has posted a link to a pallet of 500 toilet rolls in the ulcerative colitis thread?

The need for people not talking to their phone while holding it against the ear, but holding in in their hands in front of their mouth talking damn loud. Especially in public transport.
The last time I bought one, 99p used to include a sausage and egg McMuffin and a coffee too!
For me, it’s convenience, accessibility and relatively inexpensive. If there is a conveniently located Costa or Pret that is better. Also I do not smoke and very rarely drink and a sausage muffin or burger is my vice. The other week I thought I would try Leon chain for a sausage muffin, hash brown and a coffee, very nice but more expensive, possibly more so being at a service station.
I’m lactose intolerant so the quality street had me on the toilet a few times. Had a a banana which turned brown after getting thrown around my bag. Always helps.
Yep, Costco! Think it was £15 or £20. There are actually two but my wife has hidden the one I’ve. Even devouring and I’m not willing to open the other.

That’s the badger. I missed them this year, and regretted it as the supermarket ones are far too small to feel like a big kid again.
Because that would be in poor taste given what Tony is going through currently.
Not really a laughing mater tbh. I’ve only got a severe fissure, and I dread every sitting / standing / bowel movement so god knows how Tony must feel daily.
Which is exactly why you need to have a laugh and it’s actually good practical advice, which became patently clear to me during the the irrational shortage during covid - speaking from 30 year’s experience…
2x Supermarket ones, far better value.
Quite. Grr!
Bubble tea and bubble tea shops. What the fook is that all about?
Costco previously had sweets that had been removed from supermarket ones.
The whole tub price & promo strategy has been designed to pretend- promote to £5 or I believe it was £4 this year gone. It’s what their aim is price wise as a manufacturer.
Why gambling ads are totally accepted, but alcohol and tobacco ones are not.
Gambling is capable of ruining lives as easily as alcohol and far more quickly than smoking.
They're also the crappiest ads ever devised and I would love to be able to block all of them forevermore.
Honestly, I'd be a happy man if that ginger twat in the red hat died and I usually reserve such hatred for politicians.

What extra ones does Costco have? Find them pretty grim nowadays TBH - all much of a sickly muchness (supermarket ones anyway).
Agreed about the pricing, think they might even hit £3.50 (or 2 for £7) at one stage.
I missed out getting them this year, so can’t remember I’m afraid.
The mix change & new sweets this year were pretty rubbish, so after years of loyalty may have to move away from QS.
Used to work on Celebrations price, pack size & promo strategy a few years back. It’s interesting to watch it play from the outside.

Celebrations tub was £4.00 in Costco before Xmas - same in ASDA was £5.00.
Christmas tubs range from £3.50’ to £5 in all of the big four supermarkets in the run up to Christmas. It’s just a case of holding your nerve until the price is right.
Ah! I just took a snapshot at the time.
When you use tomato ketchup in a glass bottle you have to shake it because the watery juice is at the top.
When you use tomato ketchup in a squeezy bottle you still have to shake it because the the watery juice is at the bottom by the cap?
Not noticed it at all with the upside down bottles.
Similar note, the upside down fairy liquid is a brilliant move. Love it.
Seems to be a European phenomenon around me.

Became popular with ‘keeping up with the kardashians’ where the viewers had to hear both sides of the inane conversation.
Now it’s just the rest of the train who have to hear it.
Seriously annoying people but I do wonder if sometimes we think they’re on the phone but they’re actually leaving voice notes? Voice notes seems to be really popular now.
I don't disagree, but gambling companies generate a lot of tax revenue for the government whereas tobacco and alcohol companies stretch their NHS funding.
And in some culture, speaking in the train evrn at moderate volume is considered rude and inconsiderate (Japan) - how I wish it is like so here too

How someone can stand at a urinal having a piss while scrolling on their phone. What is so important that, during that short period of time it takes to empty one's bladder, you can't keep the phone in your pocket and not make it look like you are recording yourself taking a slash?
I can't help but think that the moral decline of the West is in full swing.
A couple of weeks ago I broke a 100 mile drive for a slash'n'go at an Asda.
Into the toilet, standing at the urinal & a phone rings in an occupied trap -
'Hello, mum.'
[Plop/splash]
'Yeah, fine. You?'
[Plop/splash]
'Nothing much.'

Didn't even stop to wash my hands & used Wet-Wipes in the car.

I always thought that was a characteristic of 'Spoons, until I walked into one of the office toilets (which are pretty swish) to see a fella standing at the urinal, phone in one hand, knob in the other - reading e-mails/texts.................
Classy !!!
That’s an interesting thought about the NHS. I was listening to a programme last week about a country that doesn’t discourage smoking, one of the tobacco companies did a report on the whole spectrum of why they didn’t discourage tobacco products, the upshot was that smokers yes use medical services but the increased revenue from tax and dying earlier this reducing pension payments meant that the government saved money by them dying earlier than non smokers.

This is right I think. And the causes of death are pretty much the same for smokers and non-smokers. In effect the smokers will burden the health services earlier and the non-smokers will need the same treatment later. Not sure how it is in the UK but in Finland tobacco is very heavily taxed too.
