Putting in simple terms, I was recommend these boards by a friend and as soon as I arrived I signed up.

I did not realize that I could post as a guest. I wanted to ask a question so I signed up BEFORE even looking around and posted my question. I haven't left since.  ::)

Ok, what I would like to know is, why would a guest CARE about a birthday thread anyway? Unless they KNOW the person (or IS the person  :-\\ )  Ok, even if it wasn't THAT particular thread. What if it was say..."Happy Birthday Philip" or "Happy Birthday Dak" WHY DO THEY CARE???

That narrows it down.

Has Fawlty Towers been shown?


Yes! and it is one of the ones I wish they would show more of, but for some reason they choose to rerun and
rerun "Keeping Up Appearances"  "Are You Being Served"  and "As Time Goes By". They have been showing
them over and over for a couple of years.  They have just  begun "New Tricks" which is good. They had
"One Foot in the Grave"  and the "The Vicar of Dibley".  I kept hoping they would have "Absolutely Fabulous"
which I have heard about, but haven't....yet.  I don't have cable so I may not get a chance for "Father Ted".

All the mentioned titles except Father Ted are BBC, hence the availiblity for showing. Father Ted was a Channel 4 production, making the viewing of it on a different scale.

Another line that caught my attention back then, for the sermon has to be written in case someone does turn up to attend church and listen to the sermon.

I remember seeing it as a youngster at the movie theatre, that would be a long time ago. My friend seems to think he and I went and saw it some years back when they were showing it at a local theatre but I don't remember doing that.

Oh man, don't go to Wal-Mart.


I'd rather pay twice as much instead of going to Wal-Mart.

Their policys regarding Unions disgust me.

HMV and Virgin are my main haunts

For all intents and purposes HMV dosen't really exist in the United States, Virgin however has some stores scattered around the country.

Tell me, do Tower Records still have that enormous store in London?

Is Wal-Mart the same as Woolworths?


Except Woolworths provides working standards that meet the basic requirments of most governments in developed nations.

Wal-Mart dosen't.

They are different. Wal-Mart is the biggest company in the world and they got there by unfair labor practices. They have most of their goods manufactured in China by people who they pay something like 50 cents-a dollar a week (don't know the actual amount but I'm sure my figures are not that far off). They don't allow their workers in this country to form unions so they work for miminum wage and working conditions are awful. There are so many lawsuits out against them because of their labor practices. I have even heard that they have taken out life insurence policies on some of their workers. And that is just the tip of the iceberg of some of the s**t they do.

It is ok to shop at Woolworths-it is not ok to shop at Wal-Mart.

Sounds just like Woolworths, I know someone who use to work there and I will be asking questions.

The average working wage at a Wal-Mart store across the country is around 20% lower than the average wage at a comparable company such as Target.

Wal-Mart will open up stores in small to mid-size towns and slash their prices to such a low level that all other stores in the town will be forced to either match those prices or close thus destroying local business.

One of Wal-Mart's main policy's is their "Made in America" Bullshi..t. It's been revelead on many occasions that a large quantity of merchandise supposedly Made in America has in fact been made abroad and then just had a 'Made in America' label stuck on it. This of course takes money out of the Economy.

Roughly 15% of the Trade Defecit can be directly attributed to Wal-Mart.

They have a staunch Anti-Union policy. With upper management doing everything possible to discourage workers from joining or forming unions.

Wal-Mart is renowned for giving almost no benefits (such as Healthcare & Childcare) to it's employees. Who picks up the bill for this lack of care, why, the Taxpayer of course.
Just for an example, in Georgia (not exactly a state with a high population) State healthcare for children of Wal-Mart employees has cost Taxpayers in the state more than $10,000,000 a year. That's around Seven Million Pounds.

As you can see.. a strategic bombing of all Wal-Mart locations would have a serious impact on the state of the nation. A positive impact.

Come on people, if you want cheap products, just go to Target. You might pay 10% more on your bill and the merchandise you'll purchase will be considerably better. It's the patriotic thing to do  ;)

Oh and as Cat mentioned. Wal-Mart do in fact take out life insurance policys in their employees (dead Peasents insurance) claiming the money from these policys and not helping the familys of the employees.

Sounds just like Woolworths, I know someone who use to work there and I will be asking questions.



You seem to be right. I did a (very) quick google search and found that Woolworths has been involved in some unfair labor disbutes. Some as resent as '98 (but again, it was just a quick search).

As far as i'm aware K-Mart at least treat employees like humans. I myself wouldn't want to work there, but then again, i wouldn't particularly want to work at Target either.

I go to Target myself (even though K-Mart is closer) because they offer products that i consider to be of a good standard.
For those who haven't actually been to a Target..

You can actually go in to a Target and purchase.. for instance a coffee table that you would actually want to have in your living room, or pants that wont fall to pieces.
Go to Wal-Mart, sure, you can buy a coffee table for $50.. it'll be a piece of crap.

They're all similar in the way that they offer a broad range of products at an affordable price, but ya know, as i've said, Target do actually sell products of a decent quality and still manage to be affordable.

I do like Target (or should I say Tar Jay  ;) ) but they don't have one around here. I have lived in other areas of the country so that is why I familar with it. If they do put in a Target, I would go there. They used to have Ames but they went out of business-too bad. Ames was pretty good. But you are right-the are all about the same in terms of what you can get.
