Author Single ?

A girl walks in to a supermarket and buys the following items:

1 Bar of Soap
1 Toothbrush
1 Tube of toothpaste
1 loaf of bread
1 pint of milk
1 apple
1 banana
1 orange
1 plum
1 grapefruit
1 tomato
1 lettuce
1 cabbage
1 baking potato
1 kraft single
1 samosa
1 vegetable pakora
1 muesli bar
1 pie
1 frozen pizza
1 single frozen dinner
The bloke behind her in the queue taps her on the shoulder. He is
carrying a basket with a six pack of stella, a pizza and some Wagon
Wheels.
As she turns he smiles at her and says,

"Single, eh?"

The girl smiles sheepishly and replies

"How did you guess?"

He looks at her - straight in the eyes and gently says


"Because you're minging"

You're a nasty piece of work Enforcer.

Haha, love it!
Just so the Americans get the joke : Mingin' means Ugly.
No offence - I guess it's a UK word?? Maybe not. I'm rambling. Bye.

Thanks for clearing that up, Johnny5.

I didn't know what minging meant either.

although i'm not an American, I couldn't get at the meaning either. I think we're closer to the understanding of British slang than Americans. But boy oh boy, wonder what would happen to enforcer if he stepped foot in Texas.

1 Bar of Soap
1 Toothbrush
1 Tube of toothpaste

Kiwipete!! Now I am surprised.. I am also a Kiwi (living in London), and I really thought it was used a lot in NZ...(Well, I used to use it a lot anyway)

How's you doing down there anyway?? I am going back for a holiday over Christmas and America's Cup (of which we'll win again I am sure) - sorry Dennis Conner Fans.

But, most Canadians drink CANADA DRY daily. Amazing eh!. We never run out of water.

Nope. Just shown this thread to my Kiwi wife (with Irish grandparents).
Never heard of it.


And yeah, the America's Cup ain't goin' nowhere.
Is there such a thing as a Dennis Conner fan? (apart from Mrs Conner)

Oops. No IT element in this General IT Discussion post.

Umm... this message ws brought to you on a crappy state-of-the-ark Celeron 400 with 256 meg of RAM that I "found" at work & a massive 8 gig HDD that I took home from work "to fix".
