Tesco

I'm currently looking at kitchens and found Tesco do them too (what a surprise). My bf was surprised by this and I replied "haven't you heard? they'll come round and wipe your arse too if you pay them'

We have enough stores now so no more please & personally I prefer shopping at Sainsbury's.


Tesco have just had planning refused for a convenience store, a bare three miles from their superstore on the island. Yeah, it's like they're actively targeting local grocers and corner shops - is it not enough to have a large store already? I'd call it a win for the planning office, if it wasn't for their complicity in delaying the planning for a competing ASDA store elsewhere.

Yes. Even when you don’t click them. The act of visiting the page with one of those buttons on it means that you’ve been spotted.

You're really piling the fertiliser onto my burgeoning internet paranoia, Paul. :lol:

Those little iFrames are doing just what Phorm wanted to do, but without the dodgy holo deck Internet larks

There's a few Safari extensions around that seem to offer blocking tracking cookies like Facebook, Google and Twitter.

Seems to be par for the course round here. ;)

And now, back to our regular scheduled programmes.

The Toyota Auris.

Oh my lord, got one as a courtesy car. Horrible spongey plasticy underpowered ugly loathsome box. They gave me a hybrid Yaris last time, that was a lovely car. This is an utterly unloveable one. if you're going to make a small car and you already make one as nice as the Yaris, why make one as awful as that? Away with it. Consign it to oblivion.

The new one or old one? I don't know why Toyota offer a 1.4 petrol. I test drove one when I bought my 1.6 Corolla. It was ridiculously underpowered.

Yes I use do not track and a cookie manager to delete tracking cookies within a minute.

Dunno when they changed. It's a 12 plate.

I was expecting Lev to say he'd put the rig helicopter in Room 101 but saying that then he'd really have no way of getting home
