Little tubs of Green and Blacks ice cream at the Ritzy cinema - they add up to £22 per litre!!

£22 per litre for ice cream!

Nutcracker-- your bro eats fem wipes?

northerner · 09/10/2006 12:57

But just think what those polutants are doing to yer fanjo

'Customer Services' lines you have to pay 10p a minute for to listen to vivaldi for 20mins.

Why do we have to pay to get a fault rectified or to complain to a company that has given bad service??

Plug-in air fresheners with whizzy fans, dosing devices etc. They all make me gag. Open the window ffs!

frozen yorkshire puddings
scented feminine hygiene bags
grated cheese

hulababy · 09/10/2006 13:06

LOL wall flower. I have 2 out of 3 of them in my house right now! Frozen Yorkies as too lazy after work to make them and DD loves them. Grated cheese - got some for DD and her friends tonight to thrown on top of their pizzas they are going to make.

Think number 2 is no different to scented nappy bags.

Oh, too many things are making me laugh on this thread!

Firstly, NQC - ROFL at "The papercuts alone ... "

Secondly, SM's "smeg wipes" (not hers, you understand!) - yes, why is it somehow that a vulva must at all times smell of flowers when chesneys can smell of what they wish?

And Cod...you always go to the loo at midday to smell your laundry-fresh keks? Is this one of your famous pronouncements, like we all must only use our dishwashers once a day (I used mine thrice yesterday and thought of you ).

messagedeleted · 09/10/2006 13:20

you knwo if oy haev a long day womehere - maybe travelleing or shopping or working?

(sounding liek an advert emoticon)

bluejelly · 09/10/2006 13:22

I think Cod's laundry fresh feelings should be quote of the week

messagedeleted · 09/10/2006 13:22

BARF at myself

where cd

bluejelly · 09/10/2006 13:22

Sure beats anything HM related

northerner · 09/10/2006 13:23

So if you don't have your laundry fresh panty liner in you pull down your keks at mid day and think 'Yuk, me minge is kicking out a right pong' ala Avid Merrion?

Personally, mine smells naturally laundry fresh

ScareyCaligulaCorday · 09/10/2006 13:26

PC World - 'cheap' computers. But they don't have Word, so you have to buy that, then they don't have a disc drive, so you have to buy that, then they don't have game-playing capacity, so you can do %*-all with them really and could have got a better one from Dell for half the price.

There's a cheesy (ha ha) American novel in which a bunch of women decide that Eau du Fanjo is the best smell possible and start dabbing it behind their ears, in a rebellion against perfume etc etc.

NotQuiteCockney · 09/10/2006 14:39

(Oh, and I'm glad others appreciated the "map and NT membership as a substitute for fadgewash" ... I was pretty much PMSL about it while posting, and fearing the cleaner might come find my creased up over my keyb)

FrannyandZooey · 09/10/2006 14:44
