BL> There's nothing worse than being scrwewed on the price of a
 BL> screw connector.

 BG> There are far more important things to worry about, such as
 BG> Hydraseal tap washers which cost $3.50 a pair in
 BG> bubble-packing, or $0.75 each if loose. 

  Gee, $0.75 each if loose! Does that discount apply to loose men 
or just loose women?

 BG> A lot of their own generic things are really brand-name
 BG> products in their own plain packaging (but you already knew
 BG> that), and it quite often says so on the packet anyway.

  Some are just repackages as you say, but the really cheap stuff is
quite different. You have to watch them with food. I was buying some
really good half-price jam from New Zealand, and the next week it was
made in Eqypt! Same packaging. No thanks! And they change. I used
their cheap hair shampoo for years, and the bastards changed
manufacturer.

 BG> Lyn didn't know about Jewel, as their local branch is stuck
 BG> away behind the big Woolies and Coles supermarkets, but we
 BG> found it after she started going to the Umina branch, and
 BG> couldn't believe how cheap their prices were. I suspect that
 BG> much of the bigger stores' extra prices is due to their intense
 BG> advertising (junk mail, TV, radio etc.).

  Yair, they are definitely cheap, but the shop here in Concord is a
real shitheap... narrow aisles, boxes everywhere, they run out of
chooks... it's only mean bastards like me who like it. 

 BG> BTW, Jewel have their own service station up here, and you
 BG> receive a 1c per litre discount for EACH docket over $50 you
 BG> present when buying your fuel. Save up 63 of them, and your
 BG> next full tank of petrol is free. :) 

  Gee! 

 BL> Mum's legs are going, and I do the "heavy" grocery shoppng now.

 BG> Damn, you should have had the vet do a job lot after all...

  Thank you for your caring attitude... (g).

 BG> Just yesterday, I went to an empty checkout, and the girl told
 BG> me to go elsewhere as she had a huge swag of groceries waiting
 BG> to be paid for, and the woman had run out of money, and had to
 BG> go to the bank to draw some out (no EFTPOS presumably).
 BG> Needless to say, all of the other checkouts had huge queues,
 BG> and here I am with a single item to buy. What a bastard! 

  Bloody women! Have you noticed the way men fight to line up behind
other men? At least you know he isn't gioing to buggerise around. All
he wants is to be is outa there!

 BL> I'll throw her straight through the bloody window! 

 BG> I just run into their ankles with the trolley. They soon move.
 BG> :)

  (chuckle) I favour elbows myself, but I did my training on Randwick
racecourse. I've found the perfect way to move those little shits of
kids they seem to be breeding nowadayas. You don't ask the mother to
move the kid, you say to the kid: "Look out, or I'll hurt you." That 
seems to bring mothers running from as far as three aisles away to 
grab their little precious.

  I can't imagine why women like shopping! I keep refining my
technique to improve on my 11-minute record for a week's shopping, but
these bloody women keep baulking me. I'm like poetry in motion (kids
included). I'll even tell you my secret... don't wheel the rolley down
all the aisles, just do the ouside loop and make rushes down the
aisles for all you can carry. That way, the fucking women can't block
you with their trolleys, and you can just kick he kids out of the way
as you go.

Bob
