Lying Toad

Toad speaks! Which everway you look at it, there is uncertainty that we experience on a weekly or daily basis. In the car we consider enroute which way to work we should travel if we hear about traffic jams, or which tube line before we leave, and then back to the weather - will be cold,wet or sunny later? So, what about policy!? TLT

Great advice Ian. Toad!

Toad Speaks! Such terrible news. A colleague had the same symptoms 2-weeks ago, both a urine & blood sample were taken by a GP the next day and confirmed the drug used. Apart from losing the strength to stand, the other symptom is that you know what you want to say to someone, but you just can't communicate. Toad.

Gosh, 20 hits in 5-mins! Toad!

Toad Speaks! Ratty, Mole & I have looked up and down this forum and cannot for the love-of-it find the recently new thread on Muckers. We have gone 25 pages back, and repeated it a good 20 times. So, here is a new one :)) Toad

Got it! Both Ratty & Mole feel I'm becoming more cynical with age, tosh... absolute tosh! Toad

A star indeed! The Toad likes the 'numbers game'. Sniff sniff.... ?5 / ?35, its a revenue spinner! Of course, the oldest sales trick in the book! YES, you are divs in, but so is M&S. I guess that M&S get a tax relief on returns... does any one know? The Toad ps. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, its because........

Its in!

OMG! Almost entirely M&S from top to bottom! So old trousers, shirts, socks etc.... What constitutes a voucher, a quantity of items or in terms of weight - does anyone know? The Toad

G'day! A number of years back I use to take a half bucket full of chicken fat, a fishing rod, and a line with 8 hooks on, each covered with foil. Here's the best bit... then, at 6am I would walk to my local beach in Margaret River (S'W Auz), poor the fat in the sea and throw the line in. Within half an hour, I would have 20 huge fish to eat! The Toad (tu)

We are alive! Looks like Huguenot's principle is correct, the perigee was a just like a fart on a beach! TLT

G'day RosieH, If one pledges a ?1, how much goes to charities? The big picture is that Admin and Marketing is hugely important to raise awareness and I fully support, but what is the breakdown on the ?1 donated? For example an 80 / 20 or more / less? This thread is specifically broad to allow the Good / Bad & the Ugly to to reply. The Toad

Communism - please expand and add. This is a wide and open view. TLT

Is it really true? If your bike is stolen, pop up to Brick Lane the next day and you will find it for a good and decent price? What if a known bike is worth ?500, but sold for ?100 - what should one do - insist on a receipt? Loss Leader A question into LBC Radio asked about a really cool priced printer of ?80, and its wireless - is this a good deal? The response was asked about the replacement cartridge cost, it will be close to the cost of the printer! This is whats known as a 'lost leader'. Please comment on how you have been sold something indirectly - or on the front of it seems reasonable The Toad
