Any pharmacy can do an emergency one for you.

Using a swear word in a shop means you invoke an unspoken rule that says they can now stop all pretence to give service and show you the door. Another form of moral high ground really as you were using it as a general intensifier rather than abusing someone personally. I used the f-word while being cross about something in Waitrose once. You'd have thought I'd taken my clothes off and danced naked on the bakery counter.

You can buy an emergency one over the counter at any chemist. I've done that before, last time at a Tesco, where it cost me ?2-something, which was interesting. If you need one right now, I can give you a partly used one to tide you over. Can cycle over to deliver if you're already wheezing and on your own. Will also PM this to you.

I got tickets for the News Quiz recently but nothing for the Now Show. With the really popular ones I average maybe one success a series. A few weeks ago I took 6 old lottery tickets to be checked and 3 were winners. Only small prizes, but still. Have also won ?25 on the premium bonds about 8 times so far this year.

Lane swimming early mornings AT THE WEEKEND in the area?
Robert Poste's Child replied to bodsier's topic in The Lounge
JAGS does lanes from 7am, as someone said already, and worth the membership fee if you swim twice a week or more. Dulwich College doesn't do lanes that early. -
*Peels face from pillow where dribble has dried. Blows nose on tissue. Replaces tissue with new one halfway through. Wipes nose with third tissue. Throws tissues on floor. Coughs ... and again ... and again. Replaces duvet over face.*

Got a cold and finding it hard to sleep. Eventually gave up and made tea. Still lying in bed though. Would have got up and made some chilli to pass the time but not fair on neighbours.

London City Airport evacuated after 'chemical' incident
Robert Poste's Child replied to DulwichFox's topic in The Lounge
Seems it may have been year gas, from a canister that may have been abandoned by a customer rather than a terrorist attempt. Wouldn't like to be in said customer's shoes once the police identify them. -
You decided, then?

Can anyone join or do you need to have a MyWaitrose card?

natural remedies for asthma/ Buteyko breathing etc
Robert Poste's Child replied to Minitoots's topic in The Lounge
Haven't tried that one, but some years ago I was seeing a kinesiologist for something else, which she was treating with supplements, and my hayfever and asthma disappeared at the same time. Came back later though. -
Go for manager as long as they're actually in charge of anyone else. It's arguably the least offensive label. Jeremy, does that mean you work in banking or some related part of financial services? VP = senior manager, but in reality no one senior speaks to you until you make Director.

Sue, I asked that as I'm coming up to the three months and they said no, you can always call and we'll do our best to help. All good experiences so far on my side and it made returning the previous laptop easier as the faults were already logged in their system.

It's the alcohol does that.

John Lewis's technical support helpline and the people who work on it. If you buy a computer and keep the receipt you can call them when you have technical problems and you don't have to pay for it. It's like having your own IT helpdesk and they look after you like they've been practising on their grannies, which certainly works for me.

Sainsburys at DKH refunds you the difference if you catch them out, which lucky as it does happen fairly regularly there too. I believe Waitrose refunds you the entire cost of the item; did for me at least. It was only a couple of quid but still impressive.
-
It is annoying and you do sometimes wonder if they do it deliberately. Today I tried to buy 6 items from Superdrug, of which 5 were more expensive at the till, making the total cost >30% over what I expected.

A friend has family from the South Pacific where a celebratory dinner involves a roast pig garnished with some whole roast chickens. Makes the traditional Xmas dinner look like you're not trying, really.
-
Alcohol is a factor too. Once people have had a few drinks, especially if they're with a group, they'll laugh at anything, whenever the timing tells them to.

Haberdashery.

None of the above generally applies at my GP and, apart from the odd admin blip, I'm very happy with them.

Dear God, Pato, just ask Charliebubs out for a drink, man! -
