Touche
But since you are here, perhaps you can answer this? I like "nice" numbers: even numbers are good; multiples of five are also acceptable; numbers that are "interesting" such as 33 are also suitable. However, most odd numbers and primes are not. Is there a term of such numbers?

For the second week running now my taste buds have been thwarted by the somewhat erratic stocking procedures of a certain 'J Sainsbury Plc' . Once again there were no 'Muller corner deluxe' yoghurts to be found, to which I have become partial. Instead I had to settle for the slightly more budget 'Crunch corner' variety: whilst the latter is slightly more appealing than licking a tramp's vomit off the pavement, I sometimes feel I am shopping in a Soviet era Russian department store, such is the paucity of choice on offer.

Did you get lost on the way to the "a bit council" thread 
The silverware needs buffing up,but my man is on his annual 1 days holiday. So I had to brave the supermarket for something for him to do it with upon his return.
I noticed an entire section marked "polish"...'excellent' I thought, lots of specialist creams etc for various kinds of silverware, but imagine my surprise when I found it to be full of packets and jars marked with labels like wieprzowa ,Polędwiczki , and Splotkoppy for all I could understand of them! Gave up in the end, now I know to let the staff handle this stuff.
Even worse,I now have another day with dull silver

I had manchego cheese with honey and almonds as part of my tapas on Saturday night and the honey got absolutely everywhere.
Tsk. Sounds like they got confused. Halloumi with honey and almonds as a Greek dish to be eaten with cutlery; whereas manchego, quince jelly and raisins to be eaten as tapas... or as the commoners might say, finger food. Hence the honey/shirt interface, i hope you were suitably embarrassed on numerous levels. AstonZagato said:
I bought a new Mini for my kids to drive. I noticed that the Navigation and iPhone integration is better than in either my Range Rover or my Aston. That left me feeling rather disaffected.
What did you expect? The Mini is German and the other two are British. If you wanted to have the superior vehicles you should have bought them a Fiat, or something. Maybe a Dacia Sandero?budfox said:
Mrs Budfox and I hold the maximum amount of premium bonds but we find going to the bank to pay in our cheques rather tedious.
We could opt for electronic payment but enjoy opening of winning envelopes.
We only pay them in when there are a few. Pointless going to pay in £25 at a time. We could opt for electronic payment but enjoy opening of winning envelopes.
