"Today your order will be delivered by Jesus in the Cabbage van"

You don't get the son of god delivering groceries for just any supermarket.

Shock toomuch are you doubting the existence of Christ in the cabbage van? Grin

When Mohammed came in Potato van, it was definitely his real name. He rang to say he was in the the area early if I wanted my shopping earlier, and I missed the call. When I rang back the number 2 minutes later, he answered it with his name. He was very friendly. I like Mohammed. He was nicer than Jesus.

lord shall we burn the heretic toomuchmonthatendofthemoney?

JesusInACabbageVan · 06/04/2012 00:00

Emmanana your eggs had to be broken to lead you to the Omelette of Enlightenment.

JesusInACabbageVan · 06/04/2012 00:05

No, no burning. My Cabbage is a cabbage of peace. And chocolate eggs.

Jesus, when my sister had her delivery last week (Barry in Tomato Van) he didn't realise she was the other side of the front door just about to open it, and she heard him drop something and say 'Fuck it'.
What would you say if you dropped a box on your foot?

emmanana · 06/04/2012 00:10

She was most affronted by the way.
'that's the kind of behaviour you expect from other supermarkets' she said as she recounted the incident on the phone.

Thank you o merciful one. I doubted, now I have seen the light.

The light that glints off the gold wrapping of your symbol of your love for us - I shall worship as I unwrap the mighty Bunny of Peace and consume it in an ecstasy of fervour.

I had Prince in a Strawberry van once. Renember thinking at the time it should have been a Raspberry (beret) van.

The first names were the result of a competition to name the vans. (I entered but didn't win. Clearly don't spend enough with them!).

KenDoddsDadsDog · 06/04/2012 07:14

I have a good image in my head now of Prince in a purple suit and a clipboard.

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 07:47

I want Prince to deliver next!

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 06/04/2012 08:35

Actually I think in light of all the variable names we have had with our lovely drivers we should expand the religious element to include everyone...

Although the gold, shimmering, gloriousness of the bunny shall forever hold forth as THE symbol forever Amen. Grin

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 10:21

emmanana · 06/04/2012 10:41

TheHumancatapult · 06/04/2012 10:51

slowburner · 06/04/2012 10:55

I have to order from ocado.

Crying. Proper tears. Needed a laugh before trying to make Easter biscuits with a toddler......

emmanana · 06/04/2012 10:57

Bet his father was diappointed he didn't follow him into the family timber business... Grin

Iwasagnome · 06/04/2012 10:57

I had a delivery but no text 1st -have they got wind of this?

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 11:00

You need to add "text notifications" to your preferences.

emmanana · 06/04/2012 11:01

Do you have text notifications turned on in your account profile? Maybe you will get one later, as Soupdragon received the text after Jesus had left.

roguepixie · 06/04/2012 11:09

This thread has had me crying tears of laughter. Grin

Only have one Ocado text in my phone:

Josue in Onion Van!!!! How close can you get? Jesus, was that you in disguise?

Iwasagnome · 06/04/2012 11:32

Well I normally get a text!
Bet they are busy

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 12:04

Busy with the crucifixion probably.

JesusInACabbageVan · 06/04/2012 13:31

Emmanana, normally when i drop a crate on my foot i say 'christ on a bike!' Grin

I'm thinking i might need one of those bunnies of peace today.......

Anyway, i can't stay. Today's not really the best day for me, what with the crucifixion and all that. Painful memories.
