    Why didn't you get 64 or 128 instead?

      Because they come in packs of 24. I'll let you do the maths wonder boy
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Ta all. Just seen a pic of the place - it's ****** enormous! Might check out Tesco first - at least I know where stuff is.

          Mr MS has gone off to play football.

          And the gazebo purchased yesterday to provide shade for the oldies has got a foot missing, so it's either a trip back to Argos or sunstroke all round.

            All you need to do for potatoes is keep them in the dark, and they last for months.

            Put them in your garage and keep them covered with a couple of old blankets

              You're right.

              I did just the same thing with a couple of old relatives and they've preserved beautifully.

                We have a Costco card and they do awesome burgers, thick juicy and don't shrink on the grill.

                Was in Makro at the weekend, that was fun but didn't have much chance to check vfm, applied for our own card too, no charge, and very little company info needed.
                Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                  Couldn't face it in the end. Raided the salad bar at Tesco and bought their burgers which were actually really nice.

                    Probably a sensible move.

                      Makro is better for food beer and sweets than Costco. Costco dont seem to have much of a range. Their steaks are good but expensive
                      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                      I preferred version 1!
