Can anyone make any sense out of this? George Orwell would be proud.

 

Deodorant bottles shrink to 75ml but remain the same price

 

New eco-friendly cans of deodorant go on sale today that contains the same amount of product, but which is half the size.

 

On the basis that our very own Stanley Unwin Scream is, as yet, unavailable ( he cannot get out of his strat jacket) to explain, I shall have a stab at it.

Basically, they have reduced the packaging, its weight and the energy used to manufacture it.

Because of this,so we are told, the consumer still gets the same quantity if deodorant as before.

This, in turn, reduces overall costs to the manufacturer allowing them to spend THIRTEEN MILLION POUNDS on an advertising campaign to tell us so...

I'm sure I've said this before, but I wish adverts were just plain and simple.

 

'Lynx, because you stink'

 

'Listerine - because you have badger's arse breath'

 

'Canestan Duo, for your itchy fanny'

 

The best lorry I ever saw had the simple slogan 'EAT MORE CHIPS' on the side of it, no idea what company it was for (although it did almost kill me because I tried to cut it up coming off the motorway at Bath - I would have been happy with that - death by chips).

Andrex now want to know if you "scrunch" or "fold".

What the fuck is wrong with them? Does it matter?

Why not just ask "How do you wipe the shit from your arse?"

Do they REALLY think that a Scrunch or Fold choice puts wiping arseholes into the same ball park as tucking napkins into your fuggin top to stop you spilling soup down your best shirt?

Wankers!

That's another thing that boils my piss - the man of the house INSISTS that we buy Andrex toilet paper, which costs twice as much as Tesco's - he says it's softer on his pert cheeks, I say YOU'RE WIPING YOUR FUCKING ARSE ON IT, DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

 

Scrunch, for the record. Folding has more potential for finger-penetration.

Or as an old work mate said...

 

Brown ballerina!

 

 

I go for an extra half sheet... On the first two goes... Use three sheets... Split a typical two ply paper and add each to a the first two full sheets... That way I have 50% thicker starting point... Works like a dream...

 

Any decent supermarket (sainsbury's) own brand quilted is all that's required round our gaff.

I fold, I does, covers a greater area with each arm action.

Apparently it is important for the performance of the product in question. US users tend to fold and therefore the penetration strength is critical whereas European customers are generally scrunchers where linear strength is more important.

 

But putting the question on the packs and actually alluding to the process for which people buy the product is a step too far in my British opinion.

Dear Deathlist

 

Please help to solve a dilemma faced by my wife and I last night. On inspecting the rear end of one of our cats (Norweigan Forest cat; v. fluffy round the back parts) I discovered a sizeable tag-nut, a real pearler that wouldn't have been out of place in a bag of Revels. Obviously, we immediately booked the cat for a clip and clean with the vet to prevent recurrence of this problem but...

 

Is my wife right is insisting we flush tag nuts down the toilet thus wasting a sizeable amount of water or am I right in suggesting it belongs in the compost bin to nourish our next crop of vegetables?

What do you usually do with the cat eggs you find in your garden?

Not generally a problem; our two cats chase the opposition out of the garden; and whey they shit; they bury it.

There was certainly something wrong. I can think of several causes, like the phase of the Moon, Earth radiation and General Holistic Interconnectedness, yet I think the most rational explanation is that it was posessed.

Because they do. That's all anyone really needs to know, although we are grateful to you for sharing this information so as to know not to get caught in a windowless room or elevator with you.

 

It may interest you (or not) to know that my late and not always beloved Mumsy had a bit of trouble with that issuance thing as well, We never did find out why.

Curious,

Milton Keynes

Because if it were abbreviated as THI it would be confusing. Seems straightforward enough the way it is. In Heir-itance Tax

 

 

 

My neighbor recently disappeared for a while and the police broke down his door to see if he was in there and hurt or alive or even dead. Would he have been suitable material for listing here on DL as he had appeared in several off-Broadway theater productions? (I mean of course, had he been dead. As it turned out he was alive and well and living on a cruise ship)

Depends how big your neighbour is, I'm pretty sure for the DL he'd need to be guaranteed headline news or breaking news slots in British news outlets.
