Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,219 Posted January 25, 2017 I'm not a creature of habit when it comes to supermarkets. As I live several miles from the nearest town, and more or less equidistant from several towns, I go to whichever one is likely to serve my purposes at the time. So I may be spotted in Waitrose, Aldi, Sainsburys, Lidl, Tesco or occasionally Iceland. Horses for courses. Walmart. They own ASDA over here. Yeah ... There isn't an Asda near me. Or a Morrisons. ........not that you would be seen dead in either of those establishments Toastie..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not at all, when I lived in more urban surroundings my nearest one was Safeway, now owned by Morrisons unless I'm mistaken. There was an Asda in town which I did visit occasionally, but I can't say I favoured it. It was called something else before, what would that have been. I think it was Gateway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a blast from the past. Lady FN won a trolly dash in a magazine competition a few years back. Our choice of venue was limited to stores we didn't normally shop in so it ended up being the local Morrisons. We were there at 7am on a cold February morning and, well, it was fuggin brilliant!!!! Had meat and washing liquids/tablets and the like for life. We don't shop at Morrisons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted February 4, 2017 The IMDb staff can go eff themselves. IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. As part of our ongoing effort to continually evaluate and enhance the customer experience on IMDb, we have decided to disable IMDb's message boards on February 20, 2017. This includes the Private Message system. After in-depth discussion and examination, we have concluded that IMDb's message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users worldwide. The decision to retire a long-standing feature was made only after careful consideration and was based on data and traffic. Increasingly, IMDb customers have migrated to IMDb's social media accounts as the primary place they choose to post comments and communicate with IMDb's editors and one another. IMDb's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/imdb) and official Twitter account (https://twitter.com/imdb) have an audience of more than 10 million engaged fans. IMDb also maintains official accounts on Snapchat (https://www.snapchat.com/add/imdblive), Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/imdbofficial/), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/imdb), and Tumblr (http://imdb.tumblr.com/). Because IMDb's message boards continue to be utilized by a small but passionate community of IMDb users, we announced our decision to disable our message boards on February 3, 2017 but will leave them open for two additional weeks so that users will have ample time to archive any message board content they'd like to keep for personal use. During this two-week transition period, which concludes on February 19, 2017, IMDb message board users can exchange contact information with any other board users they would like to remain in communication with (since once we shut down the IMDb message boards, users will no longer be able to send personal messages to one another). We regret any disappointment or frustration IMDb message board users may experience as a result of this decision. IMDb is passionately committed to providing innovative ways for our hundreds of millions of users to engage and communicate with one another. We will continue to enhance our current offerings and launch new features in 2017 and beyond that will help our customers communicate and express themselves in meaningful ways while leveraging emerging technologies and opportunities.

I can't see why you can't use the message boards if you get an account but are to rate movies and review them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
