"60% off George Foreman"



is a headline which greeted me this morning. I wonder if George knows that he is being sold so cheaply, or that there is a Shylock cut of him available?



It joins the "Car Boot" gathering. Maybe there is a mute sale involved too?


When did "doing a shop" change from being a bit of an entrepreneurial boost to the swag bag, to being ripped off by Tesco?

Yes why do Mute swans actually make a noise,I always wander. I don't think it could be called a song or a call,more like a warning sound. However they are not mute.

Today's headline:

'Rechargeable Hair No More'.

I'm so tired of my hair continually recharging itself.
