Like a little flower

Anyway, I followed Tesco's customer care instructions for the situation when you receive dead flowers: let them stand in water for 24hr.

But look! C'est un miracle!!! Little Max has indeed risen from the dead.

Separated at birth
There was a wonderfully vile woman in the Lidl (cheap, nasty, foreign supermarket that doesn't really sell many well-known brands) near work this lunchtime. Me and a colleague were on the look out for dolphin-friendly tuna (in Lidl???), tinned sweetcorn (maybe, but not) and Heinz baked beans (no chance) and we kept hearing this woman shouting, "I said I'd just be a minute, I'm not queue jumping!".

As we got nearer the only open till, at which there had amassed a sizeable crowd of people waiting to pay, she ran to the front of the queue, shouting "Who's moved my stuff off the conveyor? I only went to get something that I'd forgotten, I'm not queue jumping!"

In fact, what she'd done was grab one item, stick it on the conveyor belt of the till, then gone round the store to do the rest of her shopping.

Definitely separated from her brain at birth, but not her downright cheek. Twat.

I wonder if Lidl and Aldi were separated at birth, they only differ by one letter.
