The actual Commonwealth = 'the organisers of an athletics tournament where big countries like USA & Russia aren't allowed to compete'

Heard about this bloke who thought you had two digestive systems - one for food and one for drinks.

They go down different holes.

Just remembered another, my mates bird worked at the customer service point at one of the big supermarkets and someone brought back an instant barbecue because it didn't have any of the sausages etc inside that were on the box cover... they had another one in the freezer at home!

The fact they were just out in the aisles with no refrigeration obviously wasn’t enough of a sign then?

Beggars belief man.
Heard something on the radio years ago of a recording to asda or somewhere that the pizza he had bought had no topping on when he took it out of the box, after 5 mins on the phone turns out he was holding it upside down.

Bit of a side observation here, but a lot of supermarkets put raw meat which goes out of date that day and is subsequently heavily discounted on unrefrigerated trollies near the till.

If it’s due to go out of date bang on midnight, a great way to ensure the bacteria multiply to dangerous levels is to sit it in ambient temperatures.

Tesco at the Board Inn and the Coop at Moor lane both do this.

Having to explain to the lad driving that the sun rises in the east and sets in west and that was why I knew we were going the wrong way. Cost us half an hour and thirty kilometre detour.

Like the YTS council worker I know who had his first job at Chester Park in the early 90s. While replacing turf behind the tennis courts the gaffer has to remind him 3 times “green side up”. Worryingly he later went on to be a team leader at the passport office in Durham.

I know you’ve posted two examples, but I’ve never saw that & I'm the yella sticker king.

They do it with prawns too. I’ll get a photo next time I see it.

Technically it doesn't.

Tell her she can drink the water in Spain.

True. It's horrible here mind, but drinkabke. It's very good in Madrid.

Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole, no matter how reduced they were.

 

[Hep]

Why can't you drink the water in Spain?

You can

Echoes of a certain rabidly Tory burger van owner who also dabbled in plumbing & plastering.

Was that Bongo? I remember when he offered to meet me for a scrap before a match once.

 

[AndrewP]

You can

Yep

Our lass who is a teacher, has a masters degree and is Spanish thought Christopher Columbus was also Spanish.

I have lost count of the times I have watched quizzes on TV when the contestants have said that Geography is not their subject, it is almost always women.Come to think of it, they also say the same thing about History.


Precisely what I was saying to my lass the other day

Used to work with a woman who, when I told her I had watched 'Drain the Ocean' on TV , re the Titanic, she asked me if they had actually done that, and how come it had worked so well, she was a bit bemused when I told her they had not, and it was done with computers.

how many were you up to when you lost count?
