    What’s the point of this cash back thing? Surely they are just charging you £100 more than giving it back to you. I don’t get it

    If he really is a special friend, a nice way in is to start by saying when you were asked to be best man you got some books and asked on the web about what to say when making a speech, then something light like, they recommend talking about how the couple met, but then they also say to avoid any stories about sex, so i can’t do anything. They said to talk a bit about some daft things he’s done in the past, but hey also said to keep the speech to 7 minutes, the advice i got has been useless. So I’m just going to tell you about him……
    *big sincere and light hearted piece*
    then finish with ..
    and as i finish this i realise that the reason that these books and all the advice i received was useless is because xxxx isn’t like every other groom, he’s a one off, special and unique and none of the things that people usually say are enough to capture his true spirit.
    *then to downplay the sickly sweetness* After they made ****, the broke the mould… They had to, it was crap.

    *and finish to appreciative applause*

    No, no wattage,it came from hong kong via the internet

    12v power supply is a plug-in transformer, like thekind of thing used to charge many electronic devices.

    Externally means external to the car, like in my house.

    You placed an order then cancelled it. Subsequent to that they sent you something, unsolicited. You keep it.

    Why not start on the Metro and work your way up?

    Yes, more weather doom is on the way. It’ll p1ss it down on the ‘lympics…

    Not a chance, that water has not been approved by the sponsors therefore any attempt made by the water to enter any of the venues will be curtailed immediately.

    That does look like an interesting find, unusual for the Tees though. Did it look like it belonged there? I’ll have to check at work tomorrow, but it looks like it might be a juvenile erithacus, or part of at least. How big is the rock?

    Maybe all the sponsor lockdown and all the other gritty truths we are learning about have been around for years and I’m only noticing it now we’re the hosts. Definitely taken the lustre off the olympics for me.

    I read somewhere that these are the most commercially restrictive games yet. one more is that Visa, another sponsor, are closing the non Visa cash points in the olympic village and making Visa machines the ly ones available

    Agreed, though the tone of the twitter feeds sound ditinctly unworklike, unless tsy is paying Him to ride from Geneva to Monaco. I don’t see how one would contemplate that trip, before settling their debts. Some problems wit prioritisng i rhink.

    I know he’s had serious financial issues in the past, maybe they’ve caught up with him again and he simply can’t bring himself to face up to it?

    I don’t imagine cycling about in France for few weeks, is the best way of dealing with serious financial issues. Still, I imagine those who got stiffed would like to spend their hard earned on a bike tour, this way they get to do that, the only downside is that it seems to be someone else’s tour.

    Why not just park in the disabled space? That’s not contravening traffic laws either?

    SamCooke

    As for P&C spaces they are simply as the market research says parents spend more. I’ll park in one if the car park is full.

    ****

    Those who do it will always say they have to.

    The row 2 row 3 option might work, but really it would be good if there were some way of enforcing the currently voluntary arrangement

    SamCooke

    Or smaller car parks so that all the spaces are near the store

    Long term testa on the use of reins have shown that kids who wear reins for extended periods ended up having involutary tics in their shoulders.

    if I couldn’t deal with two kids, I wouldn’t have two kids

    Unfortunately you don’t know whether or not you can deal with two kids or how you will deal with them, until you have two kids. By then you just have to muddle through like the rest of us

    But really, it’s not my place to be working out your practicalities here. Are you really arguing that you’d rather have unavailable P&C parking bays next to the store rather than available ones farther away?

    I’m not asking you to work out my practicalities, I’m inviting you you tomthink the through the process, so that you consider the problems you might face. A bit of visualisation if you will. Of course internet shopping overcomes the issues, but that’s not really dealing with the current topic. After all it could then be argued that we don’t need supermarkets at all. As cncerns the choice, there are already lots of accesible parking spaces far from the store, i don’t need any more. So, essentially your idea reduces to getting rid of the p&c spaces and offering little else inreturn

    Well, I can see the Nike attitude to shopping might be attractive to some. However, things could be easier.
