Nuclear winter is what they need

And I thought the frikkin snow covered ski resort above a mall in Dubai was preposterous enough…

Words fail me.

Bloody hell, I saw an advert on tv for that Neom and thought it was a joke or advert for a new sci-fi show. Didn't even realize it was a real thing.

Ad break on CH4 during Gogglebox ‘this ad break is brought to you by companies who would like to help in this difficult time of rising prices’ or something along those lines. Cue an absolutely standard break promoting Boots Advantage Card, giffgaff, coop’s ‘we give money to communities’ and any other useless advert.

Then back to deliveroo, McDonald’s delivery and the new electric bmw in the next break. So we’re ‘saving’ money in the first break and spending it all in the next. Thanks for help CH4.

and any other useless advert.

hey, somebody got money making those, people have to eat.

Well they could have put some effort in to make some fresh adverts for the initiative.

So we'll either get the clone army from Cortical Labs facing off against the droids from Boston Dynamics, which should be just like the Battle of Geonosis, or they join forces and produce the T-800. Exciting times.

Allison claimed he fired the [first] shot “to get out of the situation,” the sheriff said.

Lol

Nipple?

They look like blokes from the oakley thread, without their awesome specs though.

yes, was getting the same energy, they also look like siblings.

Unlikely that the mother would repeat the mistake.

It’s America, most people there don’t even know where babies come from.

America

Which part are you referring to?
There’s quite a few Americas around here.

The cabbage patch?

Not epic but definitely WTF. Halfords two-tier pricing. Went to buy a bike helmet for my daughter having looked online. £13.21 on the website, £20 in store with no explanation. Fortunately I'd clocked it and pointed it out at the till to get the lower price, but seems pretty sharp practise

That's right.

All 1.4 billion of them .

I like this. Who can we do next?

Are you projecting at all?

Yep. Noticed that myself with similar excessive price gap. Odd really as it discourages you from ever browsing there and browsing often results in customers buying more than they intended. The tills are always at the very back of the shop so it takes a strong willed customer indeed to not take a peak or two at other stuff on the way through.
Their bargain bucket end of line baskets used to be awesome at times. I once saw a pair of Pace RC30 forks in there for £65.

Seen that before with Halfords.
