I've got double-click syndrone. I keep double-clicking on the ladder!

Just cut your stakes in half then. Or the drinks.

I found the proper cure for double-click syndrome. Switch off offset bet and then you won't have an unexpected bet in addition to the one you place.

ASDA's short French sticks have gone up from 55p to 85p, that's 55%. Don't know why ingredients/manufacturing costs for French sticks are so high when sliced bread stays the same price but it looks like all sorts of things will be inexplicably going up in price in the next few months.

I think ASDA's lost the plot. Sainsbury's short French sticks were 45p last week. Their bacon, mushrooms and other essentials were much cheaper than at ASDA too. I'm currently boycotting ASDA in protest...

ASDA's crisps and similar snacks are cheaper than all other supermarkets, but they're flipping horrible! I've never in my entire life thrown away crisps rather than eat them, except for ASDA crisps!

The meat flavoured crisps at Aldi are decent! Full of flavour!

I won’t let the wife buy meat from Asda.

I won't buy crisps in the UK as they're a complete rip-off and line the pocket of a big-eared hypocrite.

In Spain the crisps are a fraction of the price, much larger packets and are actually crispy rather than soft as often found in the UK!

...why do people wear non-standard Haig Poppies?

Are they 'special'? or attention seeking making the event about themselves ?

I had to check wasn’t

Why is it different?

Poppies sold in Scotland are made at Lady Haig's poppy factory in Edinburgh by 35 veterans - the majority with disabilities - who have served everywhere from Korea to the first Gulf War.
When it was founded back in 1926, it introduced a different style of poppy and has stuck to it ever since.

...the Scottish poppies although different are absolutely fine - they are locally made and have 4 leaves and no greenery whereas the standard ones have just two leaves plus the greenery.

The ones I'm meaning in particular are the small metal 'fashion' ones, the 'encrusted' ones and the 'bouquet-of-three' ones.

Got ya!!!!

Then I couldn’t help.

I hated this time of year when serving. The amount of parades etc. I preferred being on tour!

Can't believe how many ex-service personnel are on here. I would wear a Californian poppy if I could remember to grow some in time. Not that I'm special or trying to draw attention. They're orange in colour and look nice. Same reason why women don't all turn up to parties in the same dress.

Good to see Boris wearing a standard issue Haig Poppy in Rome for the G20

...whereas Kuenssberg had to wear one of the 'clever, little, look at my fashion statement' poppies

Then again, I suspect those fashion items contribute a great deal more than the average to the British Legion Poppy Appeal. Although thats only based on my opinion of people like Kuenssberg. And I could be well wide of accurate there. TBH I don't know her politics. She seems to be like Paxman, a Rottweiler there to savage an unwary politician of any persuasion.

My council's pricelist for collecting bulky waste items.

What flipping idiot worked out that pricelist? How can removing 4 items be so much harder than removing 3? And on the list of bulky items that you can pay £24.50 to remove is a flipping toaster!!
