How much sugar do you consume?


In the last few months not a lot.

Have been staying away from energy drinks and soft drink.

It's improved a lot in the last few weeks since I resigned from my job with no stress.

Every fucker thinks they have insomnia though, its the same with OCD everyone seems to think simply being tidy is OCD


I check doors multiple times, I don't have the tidiness thing but I am obsessed with locking windows and doors.

Agree that it's not OCD, but it's damn annoying.

The talk of OCD reminded me of this 30 for 30 short on Clint Malarchuk.

For those of you who don't remember the name, Malarchuk is the ice hockey goaltender who had his throat cut during a game. It's a really good watch.

I'm the opposite, I'm pretty sure I'm narcoleptic.

It doesn't matter what time I go to sleep I can't get up in the mornings and if left to my own devices I can happily sleep for 12+ hours.

So you're like my sister.

No joke a jumbo jet could land in her room and she'd continue sleeping.

It's the gossip magazine crowd who cares about things like that, you know, women aged 30 to 65 who don't have anything interesting going on in their lives.

I hate, absolutely hate, working at a village shop. Everyone has a bloated sense of entitlement because they view it as their shop, as a community-run shop. Actually, no, it's owned-and-operated by Martin McColl, one of the country's biggest convenience retailers, and a profit-making company. The number of people who think they can get away with being short by 50p for their goods and make good the shortage is quite tiring. I'm not putting my job on the line for their inability to bring the right change along.

Strictly speaking they can. Prices in the UK are not set in stone regardless of what is advertised.

It's such a non-statement. Of course prices can be deviated from, the whole point is that Mr Willy is not authorised to do so and doesn't want to jeopardise his job because of that fact.

KM needs to learn to read.

I'd probably ask you to pay the right amount or leave. Legally, of course, the company can choose to adjust the price but I'm not specifically authorised to do that, unless I'm marking an item's price down because of best before date, or if a multipack is missing a can of beer or whatever. Not even managers are allowed to adjust prices on their own discretion, they get sacked for that. One manager put the price of his fags down, manually, to remain competitive with the shop down the road and was sacked for it.

I'm pretty sure your carer doesn't let you do your own shopping anyway.

I think my company is a bit dodgy with pricing, we've just started selling bottles of pop for 60p, not cheap brands either but Pepsi, 7-up, Sprite etc, these drinks were £1.45 just a few weeks ago, I could understand if they were on offer or short dated but their not.
None of the other shops in the area have done the same, not even the supermarkets, isn't there rules about undercutting the competition in such a way?

I'm more concerned that you call it pop.

McColl's are brilliant. Coca-Cola 500ml - 2 for £2. Or, Coca-Cola 1.25 Litres - 2 for £2. You can get an extra 2 litres of Coke for your money, yet customers still buy the smaller bottles. The most irritating thing is our meal deal, when customers think every drink is part of the offer. Cretins.

In Tesco often 2L bottles of Pepsi are a £1, but 500ml bottles are £1.20.

It's down to convenience as well, if you're on lunch break, or just about town, you're not going to want to carry round two 1.25 litres of Coke.

What's wrong with pop?

There is nothing wrong with the word pop in this context, Ninja is just bent out of shape for some bizarre reason and is attacking people due to this shortcoming.
