The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

After a discussion with a friend of mine in which we decided shopping simply isn't as exciting as it could be, we set about finding a way to inject some much needed excitement into the usual shlep round the shops. We came up with the following:

"Shopping Roulette"

The rules of shopping roulette are simple - it is a game for two or more people. One person is given a gun and has to hide in one of the stores within your chosen mall ((s)he doesn't tell you which one). the remaining players go shopping, but if they enter the store where the armed player is hiding they are shot. The game ends when all unarmed players have completed their shopping trip, or are dead, whichever happens first.

its a game where the "contenders" have to stay alive to win, its covered 24/7 til theres only one person left alive - its quite funny actually, as its set in a regular town - where everything continues as normal.

great film

I actually live and work a stones throw from the mighty shopping mecca that is Bluewater, and strangely for a bloke I actually do enjoy shopping. Doesn't make shopping 'exciting' though.

I fear due to the pesky crime prevention act and so called 'laws' you may find it difficult to enter a busy retail outlet brandishing a firearm-its just another of lifes harmless pleasures ruined by a meddling bueacracy-but let me know how you get along.

On second thoughts you could have a lot more fun by using said weapon to hold up the store while your mates set about stealing the keys to all the tins of corn beef.

I was in Tesco yesterday where I obtained every can of larger brandishing the slogan "12.5% Free". I opened them and proceeded to drink exactley 12.5% from each one.The saving is unbeatable but the hangover is terrible.

Speaking of those tins of corned beef,you know the ones I mean,with a key.I'll tell you what annoys me-you open the corned beef and inside there's a note and it says that the key will also open a treasure chest buried on Sarawak.Then you get together an expedition,rent a boat,hire crew,sail out there,you're gone twelve bleedin' months,you find the treasure and it turns aout to be four hundred tins of f*cking corned beef.

I remember them doing that on the Sunday Show where they walked in the shop and it said 33% free on hob nobs and they three out of the 9 biscuits out. They got chucked out. No fun, these shopkeepers.

Yup, Adam and Joe did that trick too.

Have to admit I laughed at Cornishman's Sarawak post, by the way. :D - jc

Take a bunch of grapes up to the counter-ask straight faced "can I try these on"?

There's always the old pound shop gag...

Me "'scuse mate, how much is this?"

Shop clerk "Pound mate, everything's a pound"

Me "Cheers mate" *run off, come back with something else* "'scuse mate, how much?"

Shop clerk "It's a pound mate, everything in here costs one pound"

Me "Cheers mate"........"How much...."

If you get called by those telesales people late at night trying to sell you a will or a plastic hip or something else useful, just ask for their phone number and tell them you'll give them a call when they've finished work to talk about things......

Another good one (but this only works if you live in a flat) let the double glazing man come round to give you a quote for a conservatory. I did it but he didn't seem to see the funny side of things when he found out I lived in a 2nd floor flat...................... 8O
