She's my bad conscience because of Faith Lehane (her Buffy-verse character) who is a bad ass and I love that character.

I don't know whether its good or bad for you yet either, because I'm going in blind to the thing you're referring to, so we'll have to wait and see...

Good luck to everybody left, I've had a troublesome few days, nothing major, and it could go on for a while.
I'd love to do this again sometime.

Apologies Green&Red for holding you up.

Morning quizzers


As a dairy farmer, I recently agreed to fix the price of a portion of my milk supply for the next three years, how much will I get per litre?

For reference a litre of milk in Tesco is €1.49

Edit: Can I have answers correct to two decimal places

Clarabel

Right. I know how to work this out.

Can I have your shoe size and your car colour please.

Clarabel

Oh also the name of the street your hotel was perpendicular to on your forth last holiday

I suppose we should be grateful that at least this question didn't come from a book none of us have read.

Like BA Baracus when he's just after drinking a glass of spiked milk

You can only hope and pray that somebody else is more incorrect than you are.

aaronjennings

Wait, it's €1.49 for 2L, not 1L, right?

Time to reassess my answer...

I was thinking the same but looks like there are quite a few of us worried. I'm sticking with my answer.

So am I. Honestly, I'm amazed I made it to Day 6. If I go, I go. And you never know... maybe supermarkets do actually make a loss on milk... :pac:

Well if you're not a dairy farmer/follow farming news then ya it's probably a guess. I was going to say at least there's an upper limit but based on a couple of posts maybe not:D

At least there's a lower limit.:D

Unless the Dairy Farmer's are selling their milk at a loss, and paying people just to shift the stuff...

SUPERMARKETS: Sorry lads, there's just not the same demand for milk anymore
DAIRY FARMERS: But the population is bigger than ever!
SUPERMARKETS: Yeah, but its the bloody Vegans and the Health Experts and all that nonsense, even the carnivores are having the auld Kale Juice for breakfast instead of a good old fashioned bowl of Coco Pops these days.
DAIRY FARMERS: What are we supposed to do with all this milk then?
SUPERMARKETS: Just hold on to it until the nutritional landscape changes
DAIRY FARMERS: But, milk goes off, it'll spoil!!!
SUPERMARKETS: Oh yeah, forgot about that, sh*t one
DAIRY FARMERS: Hang on, what if we all paid you to keep stocking the milk?
SUPERMARKETS: Well obviously that'd be ideal for us, but that's not how business works, whats in it for you?
DAIRY FARMERS: Well we're also in the Potato business and we're thinking of launching a new crisps range that come in a variety of mad flavours, that are super cheap to make, but we want to sell them at an extortionate rate. You pay us more for those than they're worth and that'll more than make up for the losses we take on the white schtuff.
SUPERMARKETS: Okay, I'm picking up what you're laying down, but Tayto and King have had a monopoly on the crisp market since the beginning of time here in Ireland, how are you going to compete.
DAIRY FARMERS: We give the brand a face, make it seem like a real salt of the Earth family affair, people will lap that sh*t up and turn their back on fictional characters like Mr. Tayto and... wait who is the King mascot, the King of Hearts is it, anyway doesn't matter, because we're gonna personalise these things to f**k, make it seem like four brothers are responsible for the whole thing, and everyone and their mothers will be going mad for them.
SUPERMARKETS: Sounds good to us, we're in, what's the brand?
DAIRY FARMERS: Keoghs!
