I saved a special rabbit for you mate

Tealeaf · 21-12-2010, 20:19

Oh goody! When can I collect?

I don't want an Halal rabbit, mind you; let me deal with the slaughter.

Might be a slight problem then, did you want it alive?

I still have most of mine in the shed.

I don't need another.

It was hardly frosty at all after they were delivered.

I've only used a small amount.

As an exfoliator.

Being a greeny I didn't get last years salt, I certainly won't be ordering any up for this year, I think it's a shame that the world's resources of salt are wasted in this fashion.

Being a cripple I need every advantage to minimise the risk that I don't fall arse over tit on the ice again.

I won't be ordering anymore, by the way.

A worried family member ordered it last year.

No good on snow, anyway.

Just hope it's not too bad a winter again.

I'd rather the money be spent keeping town centre pavements clear, and safe.

It seems that the power of Accyweb remains as strong as ever since the mythical tongue-in-cheek figure that I attributed to this scheme last year was wheeled out as a hideously embarrassing miscalculation at Cabinet this week.

I was so embarrassed. Pity then that the offending post was attributed to the wrong councillor.

This year I confidently predict that a revised scheme will cost up to twenty quid less than the £6.6m I 'calculated' in 2010 and that we will probably only be able to provide 8bn bags of grit, not the 16bn I originally envisaged.

My apologies for any flippancy which may have escaped the sarcasm detector.
