The good deed thread

finchy

I get a real kick out of helping other people and today was one of those days that presented an unmissable opportunity.

Standing at the self-service checkout in Asda, a family of salad-dodgers waddled up behind me and starting putting their microwave meals, oven chips, etc. on the belt. I then proceeded to scan my stuff and pay as slowly as possible without it becoming too obvious. The extra time they were standing there means they were burning off a tiny bit more flab than they would do when they went home to park their lardy ar5es in front of TV. Knowing I'd helped a whole family fight the fat gave me a nice warm glow inside. I can't wait until tomorrow when I will once again help somebody, whether they appreciate it or not.

I'll have a word her Maj if I see her* and put you forward for a OBE. Selfless you are, and a credit to the community.





*HRH doesn't often get to my local ASDA but I can't rule it out

You were probably doing some of us a good deed by sticking to ASDA

Well, I wouldn't want to bump into Lord Stevo shopping in Harrods for smoked caviar. I do sometimes cycle to Waitrose for my cheese, though. In Asda, blue cheese is labelled as "speciality cheese". :roll: :roll: In Waitrose it's just "cheese".

I suppose they have to call it that so Asda shoppers don't assume it's 'gone off'

When I was at uni I had some fairly expensive (£2.50 is expensive for a student) blue cheese in the fridge. The cleaners came in, I heard the fridge open, then I heard:
"Oh my God, look at this mouldy cheese."
"Euuurgggghhhh! That's disgusting! Chuck it away."

I had to jump down two flights of stairs to get down into the kitchen before the cleaner made it to the bin, then I had to explain why blue cheese is actually OK to eat. :roll: :roll: :roll:

In our house blue cheese means a trip to the clinic. :shock:

Reminds me of this article http://www.independent.co.uk/news/busin ... 88916.html especially the 5th paragraph about different types of ham. Will the likes of Stevo be tempted into a Tesco...

Went to a wedding a few years ago, it was that branch of the family that we pretend dont exist.

Anyhow, the reception is at a football club, was concerned that the car was gonna get nicked so found a table by the window. Helped myself to some baguette, chedder and pate, everything else was deep fried and pretty awful looking.

Spread the pate on the bread to bite into it and realise it was actually a chocolate flavour mousse with a brown jelly on the top.

Why did you not simply pretend to attend?

Wish i had done, ended up having to do 3 trips between the church and the reception rather than the other guests having to walk.
