I know those sorts of places really do exist,
Don't ask me HOW I know or I'd have to ... well you know the saying ;)
But a landfill site is far more exotic:D


Thanks for the reminder, I'll bring that ( you) up at the next staff meeting :p

I will even bring my own packed lunch. I will share the Jaffa cakes. :-)
 
So I went to order some laminate flooring for the spare room today, I worked it out with fitting to be £120

By the time I had left the shop some £40 of extras had been added on

It could have been worse

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department store looking for a job.
The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas." The boss liked the kid so he gave him the job.

"You start tomorrow. Ill come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down.

"How many sales did you make today?"

Kid says, "One."

Boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale for?"

Kid says "$201,237.64.

Boss says "201,237.64?? What the heck did you sell?"

Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook.
Then I sold him a medium fish hook.
Then I sold him a larger fish hook.
Then I sold him a new fishing rod.
Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat;
we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he didnt think his Mercedes would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him an Escalade."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?"

Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, your weekends shot, you might as well go fishing."

When did they stop calling it Lino and start calling it laminate flooring? Sounds much more des res I suppose.

Two different things.

Laminate flooring is made from a resinous composite base. It is topped with a printed paper layer, then sealed with a clear protective coating. This material is sold in the form of planks or boards that closely resemble wood flooring. Linoleum is made from linseed oil, sawdust and other natural products. It is formed into tiles or sheets that resemble vinyl flooring.

Depends what you get for £40.

Thought most offered an all inclusive price ? Just what I have gleaned off those bloody pop up sites, don't seem to get that much of a problem now though :rolleyes:
 
Surely £40 just gets "The End", while £100 gets you "And They All Lived Happily Ever After"...
 
Love the feel of new Marigolds while washing up the dinner plates. That bloomin jingle (For hands that do dishes to be as soft as your face... mild green, Fairy liquid)

I do tend to drop a few plates, but with these new grip gloves should help minimise that. Bloody expensive they were, a packet of rubber gloves that come with instructions. I wonder what they think people are going to use them for ? :oops: :$

The washing up liquid is supposed to keep my hands soft and gentle, but it does not. The missus does not like rough scaly snake @Cobra skin hands rubbing over her body ;)

Dishwashers make people lazy I think, besides no room for a dishwasher, might have room for another laptop though :)
