  • Why are there no own brand wine gums available anywhere? Ive tried Tesco, Coop, Waitrose, Asda and Aldi - none to be found.
    Maynards are not as good, and Haribo just doesnt cut it. It's bizarre and sinister.


  • If the object of football is to score goals, why do teams only play one player up front  fro score against 11 on the other side ?

    Because the object of the game isn't to score goals, it's to score more than your opponents. Sometimes, the way leagues are structured means that scoring the same as your opponents is sufficient and in rare cases the object is simply to concede less than some other team who are playing in an entirely different match.

    Tesco do stock own brand, better than Maynard's in my opinion 
  • I agree they're better but I've been in probably four tescos in the last two weeks and the shelf is empty. Most odd.

    My store is the same, Tesco own sweets missing many varieties each week when I go
  • Including miss mollys midget gems, my 29p go-to bag of shit sweets
  • People buying Robbie Williams records and tickets.

    They are too hard. The Aldi ones are better but they have been missing last few weeks too

    Free advertising as we're discussing it now?
  • But it is a well known brand , seems strange to make such a minor change that makes the cadence  of the name more awkward

    No longer being pointless ?

    Isn’t pointless a tv game show?
  • What is it with this Prime drink?  

    I was accosted by some mum of two teenage boys today pleading that I buy a bottle on their behalf.  They already had their full allocation of one bottle each.  I of course obliged and it was although I'd given them a million pounds.

    I note it goes for silly prices on Ebay  (the bottle actually cost £2).  From what I can make out it is a sort of energy drink.  Stop the World I wanna get off  :/
  • This one is signed by Hasim Rahman Jr.  Who the *!!* is he?


  • anybody being taken in by twats on twitter making out they're selling Man U league cup tickets at £200 a pop
    then the gullible getting all indignant and lary about these supposed ticket touts
    the allocation's over 7400 FFS take a breath the game's midweek in January
    obviously several born every minute
    for the hard of understanding: buying stuff off randoms on twitter is gonna be a scam
  • Rub a dub dub, three men in  tub.

    WTF is that nursey rhyme all about?

    A voluptuous lady being given a good (airtight) time by the sounds of it.

    Why so many Americans give their kids the same name.  George William Pett Jr, George William Pett III and all that.

    Is it an ego thing?  

    Must get confusing when post arrives for a Mr G Pett etc before the younger moves out.

    Its cos they aint got no heritage or culture like what we haves over here, either that or they cant cope with too many names

    They go mad for their whole heritage thing, 6 generations down the line and they're all "I'm Italian", "an Irish girl, eh?" etc.  So you think they'd pick a different Italian, Irish or whatever name.
  • Plays that basically just do the whole story of a film.  Just watch the film, the original is bound to be better.

    Can just about understand it when it's a musical, but to be honest even then I think I'd rather see something original.
  • The emails about opting out of Mother's Day emails (or Father's Day, Valentine's Day etc). 

    I get why, but (putting aside the "you could just delete/not look at them" debate) it strikes me that you've now had an email that mentions it anyway, and have to think about these things more applying to not hVe them?  They feel counterproductive.

    Why CAFC have the oxymoronic 'pre-match review'. 
    Why not just match preview?
    Well the former is things that have happened and the latter is about things in the future 
    Indeed. And the thing they refer to is a preview of a thing yet to happen, not a review of a thing that has happened.
    Now that is confusing.

    I would define a 'pre-match review' as discussing what happened before the match.
    That would make the punditry on MOTD more interesting. They could talk about the pub or the journey to the ground.
