(And she was brought up in Dunedin - though well before supermarkets...) I can undestand why you don't put fish in your haggis, but does that mean your family recipe includes beans? |

There is no sadder and more sheepish looking individual that the freshly converted ex-confirmed-bachelor trailing around the supermarket behind the newly minted wife, who insists he share every waking moment and experience. That explanation do for you Baldy? Cheers Billy 8-{) Lest I find a burning supermarket trolley on my front lawn, I hasten to add that this is not to be taken seriously! Mrs T was never like that at all!:8} |

| 252781 | 2004-07-17 05:39:00 | Having read the plot: www.about-shakespeare.com "At dinner, while discussing husbands, Beatrice vows to never marry, echoing Benedick's earlier vow. The men arrive in masks: Don Pedro and Hero dance; Benedick and Beatrice dance, and she makes fun of Benedick in general, possibly not knowing she is in fact dancing with him. Don John appears to Claudio, who identifies himself as Benedick, even though Don John knows he's Claudio. Don John tells him Don Pedro is actually in love with Hero, causing Claudio to become depressed. Benedick carries the ruse further, depressing him more...." So Benedick in the supermarket is the mischievous bugger who tells you baked beans are in the "canned vegetables" section, when he actually knows they are considered in the devious mind of the supermarket designers to be a kind of pasta. A deceiver, a twister up of typically pointless Shakespearian plots, which are rendered even worse by turning them into opera. Beatrice deserved him: even if it was bent. "to save himself trouble, he put it in double ...and so forth. Argus |

Supermarkets are places to be avoided like the plague, blokes (usually retired,who should know better and have better things to do with their time) trailing around after their wives, generally blocking the aisles which are never big enough anyway, gormless women dithering in front of the shelves with their trolleys at right angles to the shelves also blocking the passageways. Even worse, two gormless women gossiping, completely oblivious that their two trolleys are causing complete obstruction. Then there is the local Upper Hutt Pak n' Save, probably the worst designed supermarket in the whole of NZ. Just one small goods/delivery entrance, big trailer units have to back in just one at a time, others have to wait at the road side, and this entrance is all of 30metres from a busy intersection. No baskets for someone want to dive in and out for a few items, and a great perambulation around the whole tortuous store is required to get from the trolley entrance at one end to say the gardening section at the other. Hopeless. |

Tsk tsk - has no one heard of online supermarket shopping? Woolworths (www.woolworths.co.nz) - there is one right in your backyard Terry :) /me doing my best not to comment on you describing women as *gormless* twice ... :p Men are just as apt to be thoughtless trolley drivers ;\ |
