A Commercial Break

I realise I haven’t updated this blog for quite a long time. View it as a commercial break; time to put the kettle on, nip to the loo, get the chocolate digestives out, or whatever else it is you do to avoid watching those annoying TV adverts.

For those of you who like to stay put and be entertained by the adverts…

Tesco have an amazingly special offer on Crunchy Nut Cornflakes at the moment. Buy one box for £2.58 or buy two boxes for £2.50! They’re paying you 8p to take a second box! That’s better than Buy One Get One Free!


Every little helps.

Bargain!

Just before Christmas, ASDA were selling bottles of red wine for £8 each or 3 for £10.

Totally absurd.

Ah, I see you like to sit and watch the adverts Tom!

Wow, that is a bargain... for people who drink wine anyway. Maybe they just couldn't get rid of the stuff?

I just had a thought... I think I'll go and check the sell by date...

Don't you just love deals that logically do not make sense?

Girlie where you at?
Missing ya!

Mr Mans Wife said...

Sorry Aiders, been busy doing... er... nothing! Isn't it just a crime? Altogether now... "I'd like to be unhappy but I never do have the time!" Where is that from?

Anyway, yeah, I've been hibernating.


Catherine, some deals that don't make sense aren't that great. At our local supermarket they slightly reduce items that are about to go out of date - and then you realise that if you buy it fresh it's actually Buy One Get One Free - saving you even more!

'I'm busy doin' nuthin'
Working the whole day through,
Trying to find lots of thing not to do,
I'm busy going nowhere,
Isn't it such a crime,
I'd like to be unhappy,
But I simply don't have the time'

Sung by Bing Crosby in the film 'An Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court'

I didn't even have to look it up - I am a mine of useless info!!!!!

Mr Mans Wife said...

Thanks Trekkie. I was convinced it was from an animated film, like Snow White or something. I searched google, and it seems that others are of the same opinion, but no one can find any reference to it.

I don't think I've seen the film you mention, but maybe I remember Bing's big ears and got him mixed up with one of the seven Dwarfs!

Sigh It's still not ringing any bells. Thanks for the link though.
