Baza, please talk a little more quietly, oh, and eat those Rice Krispies somewhere else! No more alcohol for me, I'm an orange juice man from now on.
Kim :o?

I understand that they are advertising for the first dog on a space shuttle to Mars!
Woof!

I take it that means 'yes'. Remember to take your SEO share certificates with you to bury with your bone, making sure that they are not biodegradable!

Mentioned the project to our dog. She asked what the sticks are like on Mars ? When I said there weren't any, said she wasn't interested.

I knew I should not have started all this partial physics, quasars, black holes, and the meaning of life thing with you lot about.
You make the comic writers of the BBC look like amateurs.
Cheered me up on a day/week with little happening
As long as Stanelco don't fall into one of those black holes, we should be OK.
But seriously, with all the little snippets coming through re Frogpack, the soluble capsule application, and other bits and pieces of news, the March results should be good if only for future prospect.

You've gotta have a good sense of humour if you live in 'Ull :)
Mind you - "It's Never Dull In 'Ull" is it ?????

How many bones can you bury in a black hole? Or is this the wrong superthread theory?
Beats discussing priority patents any day!

I can't believe it, the orange juice diet is over already, what a ridiculous time of year to have a Christmas party; I just know that in the morning (that is later today) I will be looking into my own personal black hole and my brain will be suffering in a parallel universe, parallel but far, far away.

Questions now coming in to the ASDA boss.
Answers to these questions.
8 more stores to open and 8,000 more jobs this year.
Boss stating that he has almost autonomy from Walmart to run the UK stores.
Carrier bags, only mentioned that they want customers to use re-usable bags.
Green issues are good for business, as this is what the customers want.
Intend to continue and expand the buying as local as possible issue.
Although I did no expect anything earth shattering, I did expect a bit more on he green issues.
Unless there is further re green issues during next couple of interview slots, wont bore anyone with the details.

Hi Blanche,
Missed that bit (post came), but that to me would be just political repeat talk.
Was hoping for a tad more.
Out now so will peruse thread later.

I did here on the radio yesterday about M & S i think it was. Its opening up a "GREEN" store somewhere down on the south coast.
These big supermarkets have pushed their brands,the have pushed how cheap they are. I think one of the future steps will be were the greenist.

does that not mean they'll try to use less and less packaging of any kind, thus boosting their profits immeasurably?

Yes cynic i think your right on certain lines. But on food i dont think you can cut corners. Ive normally shop at Tescos because of convience, but i do get an awful lot of lines like chicken breasts as an example, where the seal is broken or torn. If a supermarket offered me a better guarantee on their packaging i would change to that shop, Even if it meant travelling slightly further.Trust me Its a right pain in ass getting home from a shop to find that the item your going to cook for dinner that night has a split seal, and you have to take it back to shop.

of course, if you bought your meat and fish and veg at "proper" shops, then you would not only be supporting small traders (their quality has to be right of course), who are the backbone of maintaining diversity in our high streets, but assuredly you would find that they use less packaging of any kind!
