    Put on a pedestal by the rabid media in this country, then knocked down and vilified. We need some kind of regulation for the bile spewed by the Scum, the Fail and their ilk. I won’t buy or read papers now, on principle.

    A Man walks into a bar with a newt on his shoulder. The bartender says “What an interesting pet, whats his name?” “Tiny” the man replies. “What an odd name, why do you call him Tiny?”

    Because...he’s my newt.

    Just had this video from the RNLI, an organisation I support. Their contribution to the safety of everyone who uses the seas around Britain and Ireland is immense and is entirely funded by public donations. Please help them do their job.

    Watching 'Saving Lives at Sea' on BBC2 I am always amazed at the bravery of the RNLI volunteers and how they put themselves in extreme danger to rescue others. When talking about the bravery of the emergency services, they don't seem to get the same recognition despite the challenges they face.

    Absolutely. 95% of RNLI workers are unpaid volunteers, and they literally put their lives on the line for no reward.

    Welcome to the board by the way!

    Just to underline what's been said above, all this to rescue a surfer who went out in a storm <doh>.

    Had a bit of a smoke earlier and was really craving a kinder bueno. So went to the shop to get one or two , put them on the counter and the young gal goes "oh you do know they're 4 for a £1?" So I walked back to the shelf, pushed every remaining one into my basket walked back . She looked at me, I looked at her,and we both burst into crying laughter. She knew the score! Made my day.

    Lidl do a knock-off version (mister choc "Bellona") for about £1.20 for an 7 pack
    I can't tell if there's any difference from the Kinder version tbh, so there's a cheap alternative when the craving hits you.

    The general public would be surprised at how many Lidl own brand products are supplied my name brand companies, so don’t rule out their kinder bueno ripoff being supplied by kinder.
    I have seen own brand crisps in boxes bearing the name Tyrells, which retail at a much higher price.
    Own brand yogurt with Muller.
    Own brand pasties with Ginster, to name just three.
    I was once told that their own brand lager was supplied by Heineken and electric tools by Bosch, but I haven’t been able to substantiate that with my own eyes.
