Rant Thread - Get it all out here

Funny I said exactly that when a bunch went off last night @Gazza_64 “if they want to set them off, shove them up their backsides and do it”…

Thankfully our dog isn’t as bad with them as others have been but she’s still really nervous of them and won’t go out if they’re going off.

They seem to have stopped near me (although the occasional one does go off still), the poor pupper was a state for the past month :frowning_face:

Oooh what pup do you have @Lovehoney_Brenna? :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Do we have a photo in the pets thread?

He’s a miniature schnoodle, lemme see if I can rustle up an image of him :smiley:

I love him! He’s gorgeous :heart_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

How could anyone think it’s okay to scare him or any other pets :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Australia maintained human civilisation throughout Covid, supermarkets never ran out of Vegemite in the UK. As a descendant of convicts I’m very vulnerable without my Vegemite.

Is that the same as marmite?
I’ve often wondered…
It is a staple part of my diet, if so - peanut butter, too.

Personally I prefer Vegemite and don’t go much on Marmite. Vegemite has a better texture & flavour.

My only experience of Vegemite is the Men At Work song Down Under! :wink:

I’ll stick with marmite :+1:

Ha! @Serpentwand, same here! Never again! :woozy_face:

We had it as a substitution for good ol’ Marmite once. I uncheck that box now.

Random and unwanted online shopping substitutions - there’s probably a thread topic there…

Some substitutions are really weird. Some make sense, like I’ve seen it before where they were out of that specific pasta shape so they just put in a different one (that swap actually makes sense). Then you see other ones like you ordered floor cleaning wipes, have these paper towels instead

I once ordered 20 packs of cheapo Christmas cards (£1 a pack), and they swopped them out for super expensive ones for no extra cost. Thanks Tesco. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

Ha! Yep, some just don’t make sense.
I once ordered a washing up bowl and they sent me a drying rack…:exploding_head:

I do like the jeopardy sometimes though; like as @Ian_Chimp says sometimes you get a much better deal and maybe get to try new things. Definitely not the case with the marmite/vegemite though!

I ordered cucumbers and got cabbages instead once…

My usual horrors are Aberdeen Angus Mince Steak, swapped for cheap, nasty ‘not really edible’ mince flavour meat derivative.
And wine - don’t get me started. I’ve ticked the ‘no substitutions’ box, but then you get no wine at all. Which is worse?

My OH did one during lockdown, not happy when they substituted a case of white wine for red! First and last time we do a food shop remotely!

See - that is your mistake. I’m not surprised that it went down the sink, but you need to buy a whole bottle of something made from good grapes. If you just want a glass (?) you can cook with the rest or re-cork it for another day.
And don’t buy wine from B&M, please. I’m asking for your own good :+1: :grin:
