Really? Can you give me any brand names?

Isigny Ste Mère unpasteurised salted butter

Waitrose Brittany butter with sea salt crystals

Sorry about the Waitrose bit but I just love the floor service, hate queuing behind fat bastards at the tills who can't equate a tipper load of shite with their and their kids figures, although think the staff at my superstore ASDA pretty good and shop at Lidels for quality single items and staples. What a London pseud snob!

Six pack of 1 gallon bottles of cheap cola, enough packets of crisps to feed an army for a month (only the disgusting flavours, of course), baked beans, frozen chips, frozen fish fingers and a full tree worth of celebrity gossip magazines.

You've been to Tescos then!

Does yours have the the old guy in the beige body warmer who monopolises the reduced shelf and it doesn't matter what day or what time you go in he's always there rummaging through everything and throwing stuff all over the place?

Oi! I'll have you know that it's hard work finding the good stuff!!

There's some truth there(but not the beige as I prefer the camo, you never know eh!) as when divorced, unemployed and living along side the prole I ate rather well from my local Sainsbury's reduced shelf as the stuff fell right between my areas classes, so Beef Wellington and package chunky roasties for brekky anyone, great with a cheeky morning blifter.

Is that you? I did wonder.

I'm not knocking the reduced shelf, it's just that I can never get near it because of the old git in the body warmer. I'm the old git who's left staring at the stuff nobody else wants.

No, I'm the one shoplifting down the spirit isle.

Using your elbows and body odour is the trick.

It's all tagged down here and I can't run fast enough anymore, local for me - 7 for a fiver etc.

Sorry, was once for me, reformed character now.

He does like to use links but there is nothing wrong with that now is there?
He does like to give opinions but does not everybody else here do this too?

Since this is a philosophy forum, then he should set up more threads based on philosophy (except here in the Lounge and above). What you're describing takes away from this forum because then there would be no difference between this forum and nonphilosophical ones. Importance is merely a matter of opinion and not relevant to this forum because potentially everybody is important. What counts the most is the debate and ideas, not goofy, stupid links and vids/cartoons.
