Funny NH-Gowers Shopping Habits

I was in Coles Firle today and was appalled by the conduct of one often disgruntled former 36er Todd Gower. He has obviously started to let himself go as he headed straight for the Pura 600ml Mocha Iced Coffee drink. He picked up the drink and proceeded to shake it up. As he walked down the aisle he then noticed the Juice section, in particular the Nippys Orange Juice. He looked at his Mocha drink then back up at the Nippys. He obviously was in a conundrum, "should I have the tasty Mocha drink or the slightly less tasty orange juice that may do less damage to my ever expanding waistline". Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Gower then chose the Nippys, but then instead of doing the compassionate and humane thing and returning the Mocha drink to its place he just dumped it with the Nippys. For shame Mr. Gower, for shame. I demand that he apologizes. People look up to former sport stars like himself, some child could have witnessed this horrendous act and then decided that this is the way he should also act. Think of the hardworking men at Coles you have inconvenienced, I hope you can sleep at night.

What's the bet that every single one of us (barring you ofcourse) would have done this atleast once before?

People are lazy, that's life.

"Todd Gower is a SAINT!"

A little exaggerated

If this was the extent of the problems of the world, then thank God for the wonderful world we live in. There is terrorism happening everywhere. Drunk drivers killing people on the roads, children being molested and Anon #10882 thinks its a big deal that a milk drink was put back next to the orange juice.

It happens everywhere. Obviously someone had nothing else better to do except stalk someone at a supermarket and then let the whole world know about what they've have done. BIG deal. Next thing we will all know about is what brand of toilet paper someone uses.

I was in Coles today also, having walked across the greater part of our continent seeking enlightenment in these bleak times.

Near death, I dragged myself into the supermarket knowing that only a milk product could replenish my fading reserves. By the time I reached the juice section, I knew my time was almost at an end - I would not be able to last until the dairy fridges.

Then, a ray of light pierced the haze, shining directly on a 600mL Mocha Iced Coffee drink - I possessed just the strength in one arm alone to reach up, snatch it, and quench my thirst.

Now that I know to whom I owe my life's thanks, I can thank Todd "The Ticket" Gower.

May your hair never be combed and may your steals per game average never let you drop from the lofty heights of ABL defensive infamy.

Hopefully EC you never complain about anything less than child molestation on this forum ever again.

Todd phoned in his credit card number to the store manager as a final gesture, so no worries there EC.

Then I pinched a few "tasting" grapes from each bunch in the fruit section on my way out, because that's just what you do in supermarkets. You know when you stand there and eat another one because you're "not sure" if you got an accurate reflection on taste from the last one, so you better try just one more? Those grapes were what got me back on my feet.

PS, Nino started a new job today - first pay cheque has been spent on a light plane to sky-write "ANON, STICK THIS UP YA".

DJ, not very often to be honest. Why, do you stake out the perishable sections of supermarkets? ;)

Request more product placements in this thread. When referring to Time, please give me a watch brand name. "Feet" deserves mention of a footwear maker etc. etc.

Having left his "Pura" milk, he left the "Coles" supermarket, with his "nippys" Juice, he bent down to tie up his "Nikes"..walked to his "Commodore", after checking his "Rado" watch, he realised he was late for his hair appt at "Tony and Guy's", he rushed in, had the "Sunsilk" put through his hair,then dashed off for dinner at "the Stag", being the superstar he is, he spent the evening quaffing the "Coopers" fine range before catching a "yellow" cab to his temporary apartment in the "Hyatt Hotel", then he.... hmm think i will stop there before i mention "stormys" "lifestyle" or too much more.

Remember we are watching :)
