The Royal Mail is being flogged off. Share type people, you reckon it's worth a few quid?
I've only ever gone for penny share, high risk stuff, this looks like low return, low risk. Any ideas?
Alt, what was the last time you spent s grand or over in one go, apart from morgtage, essential shit, etc.

the menu plan just gave a list of portions per day - eg 2 portions of dairy, 5 portions of fruit/veg
it didn't give specific meals.

but if that had been rounded out with a stirfry including peppers, mushrooms, onions, courgettes and a bit of wholegrain rice or wholemeal noodles, which it would have been bar the stupid fall, i don't see how you could say it's not healthy.

also, that says more about you than it does about me...

this qotw reminded me of one of my favourite answers ever, so i searched it out JUST FOR YOU

Just yesterday...

I recieved a text from "cupid" saying for the paltry sum of 30 cent i would find out who fancies me!!!1! So i barrelled forward and replied in the affirmative.

But something smelled fishy...
1. Noone I know is stupid enough to fall for this.
2. Noone I know is stupid enough to fancy me.
3. Noone i'd want to "Get with" as the text oh so elegantly put it, would be stupid enough to spend €5.60 trying to find out who fancies them.


Noone. Not one person.

Except me.

Not if they keep their stupid parcel prices too high.
They're consistently undercut by other carriers, who are much less shit than they used to be. Unless they get a bit more cometetive, they're going to lose value.

Then again, the government would probably bail them out rather than lose the Royal Mail.

Buy a thousand scratch cards. You'll have hours of entertainment, and might even win a tenner.
