OK, so I was in the queue for the checkouts at Sainsbury's at the weekend, buying my usual man-fayre of meat, lager and a copy of Men's Health when I noticed this sheepish looking bloke in front of me who appeared to be arranging his items on the conveyor in a rather shifty way. From what I could tell, they consisted of a copy of The Guardian and Angling Times arranged in a 'tent' formation, with a packet of easy cook dried Basics Farfalle at either end. On top of this the whole megastructure was managing to withstand the movement of the conveyor belt very well, probably owing to some pre-planning on the part of the architect. Impressive stuff.


The upshot was that this literary wigwam was made for one purpose...to conceal a packet of condoms. A young girl sat behind the checkout and had a little smirk to herself as the chap hastily threw them into his Bag For Life...anyone would think he was buying an eighth of Crack and a 12-bore.


Anyway, I digress. In these times of tightening our belts we all still need our luxury items...and thinking about it a packet of condoms would rank quite highly with me (along with decent loo roll and Ben and Jerry's Phish Food).


So lets hear it, both the weird and the wonderful...what luxury items could you simply not do without?

70% minimum cocoa solid chocolate.

Best quality organic bread flour for the bread machine.

Ethiopian or Javan coffee for the coffee machine.


Wait wait wait I just re read your post. Are you saying Condoms are a luxury item?

In some cases they're a necessity aren't they?

JB82 your post has bought back memories of working in a petrol station frequented by porn buying lorry drivers, those were the days.


Mine are a nice bit of rib-eye steak, a bottle of vino and lots of chocolate - yum yum yum. I'm happy to substitute nice loo roll etc. for the scratchy value range if it means i get my beef.

We stopped by a mini-mart at the weekend to get some some items for a friend's 40th birthday.


The shopping basket consisted of 1 x bottle Moet, 2 x jazz-mags.. and The Guardian. I hid in the car whilst Mrs *Bob* made the purchase. I think she hid the Guardian inside the porn mags.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
