    Do you know when you go to buy something and something comes with it?

    And, you're there trying to get it off the thing that you were trying to buy?

    So, the cellotape is too much of a problem,so, you take it home, like Tom Hagan.

    And, you can't just bin it 'cos it looks like the puppy that nobody wanted?

    I'm tucking into a pack of Nice creams. I bought a 3-pack of biscuits. They were only €1.50. I bought them for the Bourbon Creams. The Custard Creams were also there.

    And these were in the middle. Hidden.

    Yeah? YEAH?

    I think they're Nice (excuse the pun).

    Oh, and coconutty.:)

    Imagine my delight, when I went to purchase the shoe that had been displayed in Korkys window for weeks, finally, I had saved enough money to go in and get lovely hobnail, when low and behold...........


    The matching shoe came with it free!


    And 2 x laces too.


    I was made up to fcuk that day.

    I bought a car once. Came with half a tank of petrol. "Get in there" I said, punching the air with a closed fist.

    I recently paid for the services of a prostitute

    Ended up getting genital warts off her, for free!

    I was buying a suite of furniture last year and it came with a free potato peeler, really influenced my decision :confused:

    Top-notch! I actually have a mental image of you now, smugly reclining on your HUGE new sofa, whittling a potato into a statue of yourself taking the furniture salesman to the cleaners! :):pac:

    You're not far wrong! If I had been tempted by a different suite in the same shop, it came with a bottler opener but no, no, I don't feel hard done by...potatoes since Feb 2011 have never tasted so good ;)

    LOL. I now have an image of you and your OH sprawled across your TWO new HUGE sofas.

    "Fancy a beer?" ;) Brandishing the new bottle-opener.

    "In a sec, I'm not done whittling this potato yet" ;)

    "I can't believe that sucker let us use both our vouchers. Here, let's pull the two of them together and make a square-shaped whittling craft centre."

    "Niice!"

    *clink*
