What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]

[Stuffed]

I live in a part agri, part retirement, part leftover small town in the south. The community is made from those who have been left behind as the farms get ever smaller and better at producing more for less workforce, retired wealthy people who choose to live in the pretty buildings in a semi rural location on the outskirts, and the very few who manage to find decent usually skilled employment.

Most of the somewhere inbetweens live out of town, commuting to the more diverse cities in the county.

However, I accept that this place is somewhat unusual, compared to many smaller towns I've been to/ lived in over the years.

The blurb I found online didn't seem to say that, but I might just look into it if it means having the extra I could do with, without taking more money out the system (that I would obviously like, but don't feel I honestly need :)

Tesco is possessing a shop, nothing (in this context) is possessing Tesco.

The form

"I had to pop out to Tesco's earlier today."

is an elision of

"I had to pop out to Tesco's shop earlier today."

The apostrophe can indicate abbreviation but in this instance it indicates possession.

"Tesco's shop" is equivalent to "The shop of Tesco".

The definitive resource on the apostrophe:

Fair enough, but do you take any steps (excuse the pun), to reduce the amount you walk around the supermarket? The distance saved parking in a disabled spot compared to a normal spot seems to be about the length or one or at the most two supermarket isles.

because I couldn't read it easily so gave up.

Sorry!

The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:

Sorry, that was supposed to read "ten minutes". Getting in and out of a car is a major undertaking for Mum. Since I was already in the driving seat it seemed daft to swap over just so she could reverse down the drive.

Depends on what I'm doing and whether its a good/bad day.

No, really?

[Conor]

I wouldn't say it was an addiction but a reluctance to try something new.

[Conor]

Actually it wasn't really an issue until monetary value started to be assigned to things.

Conor ( [e-mail]) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I knew a guy at *UNI*, ffs, that would only (and I mean ONLY) eat buttered white toast or chicken nuggets.

[Adrian]

Conor ( [e-mail]) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

No, the supermarket are guilty of *not* actually defining their meaning properly. Don't forget, we've also been told in this thread that by "parent", they don't *actually* mean "parent", too.

[Adrian]

( [e-mail]) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Umm, no, I would suspect he knows what he saw.

Umm, isn't that what he said? "I have a blue badge and I am going to park in a blue badge area"

There's also the issue of the disabled spaces having more width available, as somebody with mobility problems may well find it difficult to do the usual squeeze past mirrors.

One of my gf's co-workers apparently eats a crisp sandwich in the morning.

He's alright at lunch, becuase his mum makes him a ham sandwich before work. He's in his mid twenties at least...

RichardK ( [e-mail]) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Does she work with Peter the Pinquecento...?

[Mary Fisher]

The other stuff must have been new once.

[Mary Fisher]

That doesn't surprise me at all.

[Mary Fisher]

Ah, that's not quite the impression you gave :-)

I knew one too. Was yours called Bruce by any chance?

So what you are saying, is that everyone will have the same solution to a problem that can be solved by common sense? I very much doubt that.

Likewise to your 5 questions.

I am glad the aerospace industry does not have your faint heart, or all those that get on a flight would be risking death, much more than when they cross a road. The aerospace industry never gives up.

Define the following into mandatory or advisory...

Those who have their health break down are sometimes guilty of causing that breakdown themselves.

I know several ex joggers that have cream crackered knees and have a blue card. Several that played rugby and have a blue card.

Why am I discriminated against, by looking after by body?

Just playing the other card :-)
