Me too. I've a mate who's a wolves fan currently living in paris.we try and catch this game every year. I've only ever seen wolves beat us, so more a blessed relief than a random irritation i suppose....

I went when Traore scored late, was great day out but the view was awful.

Back to the irritations; Sainsburys Self-Scan.

Did a £240 shop today, get to the checkout, everything packed. Selected for a random check scan. Scans 3 items; "Oh, it doesn't recognise something that is in your basket." "So what do we do?" "You'll have to unpack it and put it all through the checkout; it sometimes loses connection, it's one of those things...".

The scanner keeps a running total as you go round. So, having unpacked, manually scanned & repacked everything, the checkout operator came to a total lower than the one I had self-scanned in... :mad::mad:


someones been in for the buy 6 get 25% off deal ;)

Me too. I loved the way we turned a last minute free kick into a goal against...
Was also at our 3-1 home defeat at upton park a few years back.
The only time i havent seen wolves win is when we've gone elsewhere because wolves were in a lower division.(millwall and fulham).

Sue Lawley. While working from home I have been listening to old desert island discs episodes on podcasts for background noise. She is obsessed with how much money her guest makes.

Completely agree. I think you should actually get a discount for using them seeing as technically you are doing their job for them :rolleyes:

Doesn't it occur to you that whilst our interest rates may have averaged around 11% my first house bought in 1975 cost £9,700 and that was a brand new 3 bedroom semi. Apparently £9700 in 1975 equates to about £89,000 now, which wouldn't buy a beach hut down in Kent


A few years back I noticed my first house bought for £9.5K in 1977 was on the market for £500K.

If they weren't aware of that train of thought at North Cheam previously, they certainly are now!!
That brings back grim memories. Use to do a weekly shop for my mum there and it was a nightmare store. My mate lives close and he'd rather travel to New Malden for the Tesco than go five minutes down the road to use Sainsbury's. Not sure why this store seems so disorganised and staff so vague and unhelpful

Apparently it is my fault that Mrs. BiM can’t remember her Zoom password, and it’s definitely my fault that she has been locked out of Zoom because she kept punching the wrong one in.

I never get that.. simple forgot password .. reset in 2 mins job done

Don't get why people enter the wrong password more than twice .. just reset it.. saves so much agg
