Have you ever been grocery shopping @ about 2am?

[Claymores]

...........to Asda's or whatever the equivalent 24 hour one is in your locality?

I did this 2 days ago and found it quite a laff - there was a woman there in her pyjamas and nightgown shopping. I thought it would be a good way to avoid the checkout queues, but there was only 1 till open so still a queue. I had to use the DIY checkout and stole 3 things.............I'm now awaiting the cops to arrive!

[Kerry]

Yeah but not 'in' the night. Think it was about 11/midnight. Horrible though. I'd only do it if desperate for something

[Claymores]

I needed cigs as on a give-up fail which prompted the trip!

No petrol stations?

[Claymores]

Funnily enough no. But I was joking with Lee a while back about Fife and her area is the same as mine..............

You can phone a taxi company and they will illegally bring you 20 B&H and a bottle of vodka at any time!!!!! You don't even have to make a taxi trip!

Last time i went at a time like that was when FIFA 11 was out.. Got there at 12 and didn't get the game til after 2

I forget which game it was, but a mate of mine works in a shop just across from the Game store - on it's release nutters had been queuing all night.

Pre-order and get it delivered you idiots was my thought.

[Stephanie]

yeah :joker:

[Claymores]

did you wear your pyjamas and pink dessing gown tho?!?!

When you Pre order you usually have to pay £39.99 for the game, Asda were selling it for £27.99 on Launch

Fair enough - now that I think of it, it was Black Ops that my mate was telling the story of

Yes its the same in many stores
the night staff are to put out stock
then rush to the tills for customers.
Thats the idea, anyway.


If you stole things it will be on Camera.
They can ban you from that store, if they wish to.

[Claymores]

I know arista - I was just in a silly mood - and at 2am the CCTV would have nothing better to do than capture me on cam

[Captain.Remy]

I love it. It's quiet and you meet weird, bizarre people.
I usually buy ice cream and other useless stuff I like.

And I also go there when I come back from parties, at 4am, semi-drunk, to buy something to eat because I'm starving.

Night shopping is the best.

:D Yes! It's so funny to go late at night, actually much prefer it to going during the day - my local Tesco stays open until 11 so I normally wander down at like 10 and get bits and pieces if I need anything rather than battle through queues during the day; I've been to 24 hour ASDAs before at like 1am/2am out of boredom and hunger too.

[Claymores]

hahahahaha Zee - I wanted to ask the occasional punter I passed-by in an aisle "why are you shopping for food @ 02.16?" I didn't - maybe next time!!!!!!

arista reckons I might be banned from Asda's anyway = LOL

It was bizarre Cap - I think Imight take your advice

[Beastie]

Yeah. Went to see my auntie. On the way home I said to my mum.. if there is a shop open please can we get some DOVE SOAP!! Because we ran out at home. Luckily there was a shop open on the way :hugesmile:

[Beastie]

did you wear your pyjamas and pink dessing gown tho?!?!

Lol I have not done that yet! I have seen other people do it though! I have drove in my car with jim jams on before though!

[Claymores]

LOL The girl across the street from me does it regularly - not night shopping but every weekend during the day on weekends!

She's quite attractive so maybe gets 'special attention' from the local shop-owners and no queinng!

Lauren's jimjams are nice I've noticed!

Lol. Haha perv. Ooo I know a Lauren who lives in Scotland....

I heard you could get prosecuted for wearing Jim Jams in a supermarket? lol

[Jords]

Noooooope.

[Beastie]

Noooooope.

:hugesmile:

Jords I was going to make a thread on you but I will just say it in here.

You remind me of a straight version of Alan Carr :hugesmile:

[Claymores]

Lol. Haha perv. Ooo I know a Lauren who lives in Scotland....

I heard you could get prosecuted for wearing Jim Jams in a supermarket? lol

Well there are only 6 million of us, so probably only 3 million females, so the chances are you do know my Lauren - silly billy!

Chances of being prosecuted? Dunno! It would be a funny trial tho

[Jords]

:hugesmile:

You seem fun and cuddly and I can just picture you being like Alan Carr :hugesmile:

[Claymores]

I find that difficult to conceive of - make the thread beastie

[Jords]

Its funny because my friend not too long ago said the exact same thing because apparently I share similar humour as him *likes Alan Carr so its all good* :laugh:

[Jords]

Dont make the thread, cant be doing with insults.

[Beastie]

Yeah. I suppose wearing baggy pyjamas it better than wearing some skimpy outfit with someone's vagina flashing in Tesco's or something.

[Beastie]

I won't. Just thought I would mention it in here!

[Claymores]

LOL beastie - I'll have to start shopping at Tescos :joker:

[Claymores]

I won't. Just thought I would mention it in here!

You hijacking my shopping thread? :nono:

[Beastie]

LOL beastie - I'll have to start shopping at Tescos :joker:

Haha it was only in Tesco's when I saw a teen wearing jim jams. Oh of course they would not do it in higher class supermarkets like Morrisons and Sainsbury's now would they? And could you imagine the DISGUST if someone walked into WAITROSE with jim jams on? All hell would break loose! :hugesmile:

[Beastie]

You hijacking my shopping thread? :nono:

Sorry bbz. Back on topic now ;)

[Claymores]

Kenny then!

[Beastie]

Kenneth Tong? You met him?

The 24 hour Asda is only up the road from my house so usually go in the middle of the night every couple of weeks

[Shaun]

not grocery shopping, but late night drunk/high munchies shopping yes.

[Lee.]

I spent a lot of time in our 24 hour Asda when I was pregnant mainly at stupid o clock at night or the early hours of the morning. I love it at that time.. I used to get really restless at night so OH used to take me to Asda..it was kind of like a night out for me! :laugh:

LOL Lee - you're a cheap burd...............no need to romance you with fine wine and meals out - just take you to Asda's :joker:

[Claymores]

That's allowed as long as it was a supermarket!

[Lee.]

No, plenty of slippers though!

Although I did see a young female jakey come out her house and walk down the road to the newsagents in Kirkcaldy recently. Nice goonie on and it was in the afternoon!

[Lee.]

LOL Lee - you're a cheap burd...............no need to romance you with fine wine and meals out - just take you to Asda's :joker:

Exactly! Although he used to get stung for a new book and a couple of jars of Shippams Chicken paste every time! :D

[Claymores]

Wee Dumfi Asda's or the big one Lee?

[Locke.]

Any punters in pyjamas tho? hahahaha

Every now an then, usually only about 2-3 other people in there though

[Claymores]

Kenneth Tong? You met him?

Thanfully not. Was it here or DS that someone joined from his school days at Fettes and predicted he would become a serial rapist?

[Lee.]

Wee Dumfi Asda's or the big one Lee?

The big one.. the wee one closes at 10

[Iceman]

Plus I fell asleep in a shopping trolley once....they were not impressed and I got barred from tescos.:bawling:

[Claymores]

I learn something every day! Next time I'm hosting a party at my bruv's house while they're abroad, I'll know where to go for extra nibbles!

Falling asleep in bad situations was our expertise while on tour @ away games with the Claymores. At Germany they do not have licencing hours so you just convince the bar owner to stay open until 6am, take a taxi back to the 5* hotel then end-up face down on the breakfast plate giving it zzzzzs!


The proper guests didn't appreciate it tho.

[Niamh.]

No I haven't!

[Claymores]

No I haven't!

You're boring - hubby must work shifts - never sleepless when he's on nights?

He does the grocery shopping actually:tongue:

[Vicky.]

I used to do it quite regularly to beat the crowds when I lived in gateshead :laugh:

The only problem was, all the jews are out shopping at that time to 'beat the english'...its not a problem in itself, as I didnt particularly mind the majority of them, but a lot of them are just ****ing rude. They look at you like you are something stuck on the bottom of their shoe, push the trolleys into you then glare expecting an apology from YOU. One of them actually started on me too once, so I hit her...she then went to the security guard and said I had called her jewish scum and randomly attacked her. Luckily the security guard actually knew me and knew it was bollocks.

I live in the middle of nowhere now though, so i have to do my shopping at a normal hour :p

:shocked:

Just walk down the shopping street. There is at least a hundered jews and a couple of rabis keeping an eye on things at there at all times :o

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The neighbourhood has a diverse population, with large Jewish and Muslim communities. In fact, Bensham and Saltwell is the largest centre for Jewish education in Europe and attracts Talmudic students from across the world.

I wonder if one were to lump together blacks or asians and refer to them in general as "****ing rude" if it would be acceptable?

Have I missed something? Is anti-semitism ok nowadays?? :conf:

Naw you're maybe correct - I call fitba "soccer" as I'm too used to non-Brits getting confused in the mix-up about the real game which is American Football.
