Shame about the parking ***** "parking eye" who run all their car parks though! That must be losing them some business!

See, I told you all how fekking fantastic Aldi is!

Loz, one tip for you. Be careful when you're on the pull, mate. Sometimes, these fish take you down with them.

I spotted the old fashioned Mr. Muscle Drain Unblocker. It seems to be rare now, as I couldn't find it in Tesco and Homebase etc. They only stock the one-off treatment bottles with less stuff in them. I was made up.

The other very useful thing from Aldi is those double decker lunch boxes with sections. Swati Junior now takes variety in that lunch box to her work, and nothing gets all mixed. I've even got the little box of that sort to pack her gluten free desert for afters.

Amazing place.I understand they have the odd chain saw in and bbq kits too.Not your average supermarket!

Drifting gear is next week's special. Dubious stickers, dished steering wheels, hydraulic handbrakes, welding gear. Lovely.

Well, it's like a jumble sale in Aldi, but I've gone used to it, now. It's fun finding true gems among the piles of disorganised tat, which may not be tat, but it looks like it; just because it's disorganised. That's why I like charity shops as well. They're like Aladin's cave, man!

If I weren't a human head explorer by profession, I would have been a skip raider, I think. Mind you, both work on the same underlying principle.

I assume all parks. Parking eye have a contract with Aldi. They had one with Morrisons too but thankfully Morrisons realised what Cowboys they were! They have ANPR on the car park and if you exceed the allowed time you automatically get a "parking charge sent through the post for 70 quid!! Loads on the web and FB about them.

Watch this to do with Parking Eye, the guy is brilliant.

Glad i live in scotland where these kinda things cant be in forced, they still try though through letter but cant take you to court lol

JackClark

What a ****.

The Joshua Tree

How is he a **** by knowing the law and not letting these cowboys walk all over him and trying to trap him into appealing which means he's then admitted the offence.

JackClark

Knowing the law. LOL. Reading bull**** on the internet maybe.

JackClark

Oh look, the Canadians have the same law http://www.blissful-wisdom.com/the-d...al-person.html
and the Americans https://skeptoid.com/blog/2013/10/14...n-on-the-land/

Do you think it worked?

hodgy0_2

lol, conspiroto ****tards - don't you just love them

Parking Eye - "are you a lawyer? do you have any legal qualifications?"

Joinder - "yes I am a paralegal"


so NO then - basically you are a secretary that works in a Solicitors Office


As Legal Week noted, "These ideas are most attractive to desperate, vulnerable people who are going through terrible times in their lives." If someone is selling a simple explanation of why your life is messed up, the false hope it offers is extremely attractive — even if the explanation is complete rubbish and the suggested actions consistently just don't work.

JackClark

Stealing that Legal Week quote.

Isn't it just a matter of not responding at all to these parking companies? No doubt this tard believes it was his "Free Man" bollocks that got him off.

hodgy0_2

yes and no

the last time I looked into it the private parking industry have (to an extent) cleaned up their dodgy practices

in the sense that if they display clear and accurate signage in the car parks, I think they can pursue you through the courts if you fail to pay the invoice - and all things be equal you will lose

and they can't levy arbitrary fines etc etc

lozgti1

Lol. I thought seeing fishing rods in a supermarket was odd but 'The Man' made my smile. Good on the telephone guy for keeping so cool!!

I went in this morning grab breakfast (croissants, brie and parma ham ..... 1min in the microwave .... bonza)

Accidentally walked down the mystery aisle on the way out and ended up leaving with breakfast AND a small RC helicopter, lunch hour was loads more fun than usual!

Turbohot

My neighbour bought a German gizmo for 6-7 quid from similar location in Aldi, which omits shades like a switched on TV does. If you go on holiday, you can set that gizmo on a timer and it comes on automatically in the evening. The nasty robber from outside won't dare breaking in because he'd think you're in and watching TV. They have one for their touring caravan as well.

wayne9t9

Went in tonight, Circular saws £29.99, next to the naan breads And for every £10 you spend you get a free Stikeez. Yay!

Turbohot

I had to Google Stikeez, but I don't understand their function/relevance. Until I read your post, I never knew what they were, and if they existed.

What exactly would you do with them? Do you collect them to stick all of them on your Scoob's dash board or the back window shelf etc.? And when you drive around, other drivers on the road get attentive and say- "Hey, look at him! He has that many Stikeez, but I have more!" type of thing?

Does anyone remember those 80s little sticky rubber Octopus thingies? You chucked them against walls (or people lol) and they'd slowly 'crawl' down (due to their stickiness 'trying' to resist gravity).

silver-sub

Ha ha, yeah I remember them. Used to get fluff, hair and all sorts stuck to them lol

They existed in the '90's as well. I remember my kids having those minging things. Another thing was some sort of goo that used to come in different colours in a tub. Kids just messed about with it. Manufacturers imaginatively started to put plastic alien heads, skulls and scorpion etc. in them and boosted their sale. Another stupid toy of the '90's was Furby. My daughter's Furby just wouldn't shut the F up! Daughter tried drowning it and all sorts, but no! Eventually we gave it to a charity shop, I think. I bet it drove shop volunteers nuts! I'm glad that Aldi don't sell Furby.

Sorry, yeah it may have been the 90s for the octopusses (or at least straddled both decades?).

The 'goo' was called "Slime", IIRC. A 70s toy. I had it in green. It came in a miniature plastic 'dustbin' of the same colour as the goo. Was mental, and had a curious 'earthy' smell to it. When you plunged your (little) fist into it, it made an embarrassing 'queef'-like noise, ha ha.

It would eventually dry out though, and turn into a useless, hard ball. Well, mine did.
