Thanks MabelJane, they're really jolly, aren't they?
I like the fact that I can wear them somewhere casual with shorts or to a posh do in my best frock.

It depends if we're talking food/clothes/household goods or the REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE: CDs, books, scores, etc
I got VERY STRESSED trying to find a decent suitcase yesterday in a way that I never would surfing the net for CDs or browsing through secondhand bookshops.

On of the pleasures of the internet is that it can reduce the amount of time one needs to spend in shops of various types.

I remember reading a theory somewhere that men adopt the `Smash and grab` approach to shopping. They go storming in and if they don`t see what they want, they leave the shop, whereas women, apparently, will go from shop to shop comparing and re-visting until they are satisfied. This led me to a rather disturning conclusion - I am a man! Blimey.  Oh dear Mort. It seems I'm a woman. Are you sure your source was reliable? |

So, during those internetless years when you could only buy things by walking round the shops on your legs, you must have spent far less money on purchases than you do now... Ooops this shouldn't really be in the Happy Room now should it! But internet shopping no doubt makes you very happy even if running out of money doesn't!  |

Well, just heard the worst imaginable pun, thinking about 'shopping'. After a day peppered with moments of writers' block, decided to watch some crappy TV to relax. Don't know if many of you remember the world's most politically incorrect sitcom, Mind Your Language, from the late-70s? One to laugh with and laugh at at the same time (really cringe-making - but wonderful as a result!) - lots of episodes on YouTube (if you've never seen it, you should try). Anyhow, in one of the episodes:
Mr Brown (the teacher): Right, today we are going to talk about shopping.
Giovanni (macho Italian student): Ah, I liiike him!
Mr Brown: What do you mean?
Giovanni: I like him, like the Polonaise - Dum-da Dum-da dum-dum-dum-dum Dum-da Dum (in the process of demonstrating on the desk, almost knocks over the Sikh student next to him)
