Here we are, loads of slightly used, cold teabags.
I know lets boil em up, drain off the juices and add lemon, peach and strawberry flavours and bottle it. Someone will buy it...we need a catchy name and advert...?
FFS it is COLD tea...! If you paid half as much in a cafe, the server would be wearing it! Anyone else got a bitch or whine about daft consumer things that make you go Hmmmmm?

Merchandising , I esp dislike the sacharine Disney brand , just try cuddling a real life Simba if you want to get an idea of how badly this stuff prepares kids for real life . They would do better if the money was put in a trust fund and went to the deposit on a house . Take them swimming , buy them a bike , or a computer even , send them away on an adventure holiday anything that they enjoy , and if it builds them as people as well , thats even better . I imagine some of you hold contary opinions !

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but as a wee girl, I loved my cuddly toys. They always there when I needed them. Sitting on my bed when I got home from a rough day at the nursery (colouring in aint what it used to be) They were perfect for crying i nto, holding tight when things went bump in the night and you were too scared to shout out for your ma or pa, and if you needed more proof that a soft bits of fabric sewn together and filled with un-environmentally friendly material is a child's best friend, pick up a Calvin and Hobbes Comic.

Hey , I am not saying kids should not have cuddly toys , at least one teddy bear and then some other witty stuff like Giraffes Ducks Orang Utangs Koalas and tortoises etc etc , it's just the whole marketing driven exploitation of it , and the brainwashing that goes with the Mouse Empire .
I have a Foghorn Leghorn that was present from someone who knows I am a fan of his ( he does have fan club) but he is genuinley funny ,he is sitting on a shelf in the study now about to slap me on the back with one wing before launching into a Georgia Democrat homily and no one from Warner Bros has tried to build as temple to US consumerism in Northern France , after declining to do us the favour of visiting environmental devastation on a salt marsh on the Essex coast with international ecological importance .
Was that a rant ?

No, just a very precise opinion. Incidentally, how did you know Foghorn has a fan club??!!!!!

I have a really unlucky neighbour it pisses down every time he has a BBQ but he still insists on carrying on cooking in the rain. Its all over my head I'm afraid.

The rain or his cooking??????

PATIO HEATERS

Ah yes. People look at lifestyles in other countries, and see an enjoyable outdoor life. "That looks great!", and out the door they promptly drag every friend and family member who didn't escape fast enough.
That's when they realise that in those exotic foreign countries, people enjoy outdoor lifestyles because it's too hot to stay inside. But by then it's too late: admitting this would make them look like right prats. And so the patio heater is invented: a device that converts money into heat, and pumps it straight into the atmosphere above. Has no one noticed that they don't make the patio the slightest bit warmer? They don't stop the cold wind. They don't stop the rain. They don't stop you looking a right prat.
And let me tell you: the outdoor life isn't so great. Not when there are mosquitoes around. What a delight it is to be over here.
