You missed it, didn't you? :P

No, not at all. I can call you a dick or something if you'd like, but I wasn't going to go there.

Don't be silly. You can't make a whole baby out of little bits of foreskin.

Wasn't there a ship where the furniture was covered in Whales' foreskins?

You have a seat for one and then if someone wants to join you you just rub it a bit.

>_<

In other news, The Co-op has just bought Somerfield.

And I like Sainsbury's, with Tesco for Cheshire cheese and bread.

Blimey, so it has.

Can they put the name back to Gateway though? Sounded so much more earthy, natural, type thing.

Sounds a bit like an airport to me. I imagine they'll all be rebranded Co-operative.

Yeah, me too. Would be nice to have the old name back, but yes.

Bring back Marathons, too, while you're at it.

You're probably too young to remember them.

I hope so too, then they can start stocking cannabis again........after all that is the 'gateway drug' so I've heard :P

And Opal Fruits.

They rebranded Marathon purely so they could do the 'avez vous le Snickers?', 'no it's just the way I walk' masterpiece.
Come on, it was worth it!

Erm. Eh?

You're too young I think.
It was the launching advert.

It wasn't. They sacrificed my childhood for a cheap gag. I wouldn't mind if it had been a good gag, like changing it to "Wobbly Bosom".

"Can I have a Wobbly Bosom, please?"
"Do you have any Wobbly Bosoms?"
"Where are your Wobbly Bosoms? What's that? You keep them in the fridge in summer so they'll stay firm?"

I'd happily have chucked in the towel for that.

Ah yes. So I was. I didn't watch commercial television at that age.
