Number Plates

I used to collect personalised vehicle licsence plates, just memorizing and writing down the numbers and letters not the actual plates. And I recently wondered why I had stopped collecting them. Simple, there just aren't that many where I am now (although I do notice them more now). But in Auckland and travelling to Waihi and back these are some of what I saw: (note the difference between the "O" and the zero "0"

Random Shop

What three things (and only three things) would one never usually buy in this combination from the supermarket?

Well, here they are:

1. Wedding card
2. Can of tomato paste (with garlic and herbs)
3. Methylated spirits


SIT COM

After lugging this lot home through blazing sun and scorching heat I plonked my booty on the counter and declared "I'm THIRSY!" at the precise moment I revealed the meths. Momentarily causing the girls to assume I'd bought it for some reason other than it's intended purpose (which was to rinse paint brushes, of course).

Can I just say that that was the most horribly pungent meths I've ever chanced to smell? It was so gross! (Later that night we added milk to it -just to see what would happen -yep, it curdled. I knew we should have tried lighting it on fire, now, why did we not? Oh yeah, I'm trying to keep up the cover of 'responible adult' and I didn't want to wreck my bowl)
