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.

      Flight on a Dreamliner 787

      By vladi · Posted

      Yes, been on several over the last 12 years. They are one of the safest planes ever built. The Dreamliner has been in service since 2011 and currently about 1,150 are in operation every day. Safe as houses.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      One of them climbed a tree and was breaking branches off and lobbing them at people as they walked underneath (myself included). When I stopped, looking shaken, they laughed at me.  Then they moved to near the cafe, climbed onto the roof and lobbed a beer bottle, a shoe, and various other things off the roof. One nearly hit a woman sitting there.  Needless to say they ran off just as I was calling the police.

      Found Passport & purse

      By keely · Posted

      My thoughts exactly when I found them I was thinking hope she is OK, have a feeling her bag was maybe snatched and then these items were just thrown.. I'm sure the police will pass it on to the passport office I just didn't have the time to get over there anytime soon. And agree they wasn't very helpful at all unfortunately I felt I was causing a problem with just handing them in !!
