A lot seemed to be stocking up on booze and party food - make of that what you will. What sort of party food? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maintain it was tremendously insensitive of Mars selling 'Celebrations' this Christmas. They could have easily rebranded to 'Commiserations' or just kept it off the shelves till the vaccine is fully rolled out. Party food/funeral purvey, what's the difference? As you say, a bit of rebranding and they could still flog it. Edited December 29, 2020 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a supermarket with the quantities for party nibbles to feed 10,000 but I'll ride your bus. So these people feeding 10,000 let's assume you are allowing for 5 bits of party food each, that seems reasonable. Looking at a standard issue trolley I don't think you could get more than 1000 packs of duck spring rolls (packs of 10) so you are telling me whilst you were going round the shops you some someone with 5 trolleys of party food and at least a trolley of drink and think that I'm the one that's thick as shit. Why not chill the f**k out and mind your own business it makes for a much happier life. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleMoo Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hogmanay is one of the days of the year I rarely drink as I'm usually driving to other friends/family. If there's one thing I'll be doing it'll be getting absolutely shit faced in celebration of seeing the back of this year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just now, DeeTillEhDeh said: The reason I hadn't been to the shops wasn't because I was being morally superior but because I've been looking after my wife after her breast cancer operation on Christmas Eve. Now fucking do one. No one mentioned the reason you hadn't been in the shops since Christmas, they mentioned the assumptions you've made as you were in the shops today. Sorry about your wife's illness, but if you don't want to be challenged or made fun of don't post, don't just start chucking punches at people when they do so. I don't think I will "fucking do one" sorry 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
