Seen one recently for an oven cleaner which is 'So easy a man could do it'. HOW did that ever get approved? it's disgusting.

I like bags for life, but only because I can actually put a decent amount of stuff into one and it doesn't have a hole in it by the time I get to the car. The 9p ones are rubbish, but the 35p ones are okay when I remember them.

That said, it does really irritate me when I forget, grab 3 bags to pack in and the git on the checkout takes one off me saying "we can't have them on display". WTH? I needed a 3rd a minute later.

Awww that is sooo cute!

You're forgetting that discrimination is fine so long as it's positive discrimination.

Indeed, it's wrong. Just because we could do it doesn't mean we will.

Built with "TRITRONIC OPTRIMAX TECHNOLOGY" the box screams.

I have a new one!!!!

Fat women in business suits! I'm not a fan of women in business suits at the best of times as I think that women can look very smart and professional in a skirt or trousers without the need to advertise the fact she is competing with men by dressing like one. Now a fat chap in a suit can get away with it as the weight tend to sit around the belly but a woman, well the weight tends to fall at the waist, thighs and bottom. The resulting skin tight suit trousers struggling to cover a bulbous bottom look frankly stupid not to mention slightly disturbing.
