My local pharmacy has adopted the slogan "With Us It's Personal," which I take to be vaguely threatening.

"this is where the Boots, which is here, is" hahaha

I always thought they put 'Polite Notice' on signs (usually ones about being clamped or fined) because to a quick glance it looks like 'Police Notice' and will make the more gullible amongst us think that holding people hostage while their ex-con 'operatives' extort money with menaces is their inalienable right and backed by law. (can you tell Ive been clamped recently?)

@aragornthebrave And hope the smart ass pharmacist doesn't toss you a tube of jock itch cream!

@IoEstasCedonta I know, it's fucking bullshit! I reckon it's cause they want to maintain a 15+ or whatever it is in the UK rating

Sign not in use

I suddenly realize in none of these can I recall David Mitchell saying "fuck."

[GraveHorizon]

Sounds like someone has an overwhelming appetite for fecal discharge.

Mitchell's Law: objects do not automatically become whatever you label them.

I really want to go into my "local" pharmacy now and say "bottle of the usual" in front of the whole store :)

Lol this is hilarious

A few years ago, I saw the front cover of a magazine that informed me of something Jennifer Aniston was doing. It said, "Jen pops the question: marry me!"

My first thought was: "That's not a question".

My second thought was: "I don't care who she's saying that to or why she's saying it."
