...no yours is a bad one....ha!! ha!!
Yeah, Deb. I would rather go to the grocery store without Hubby. He always has to read the labels on stuff we are not even remotely going to buy.
"Did you know that this squid sauce is made in blah, blah, blah...that country used to be called blah, blah ... squid sauce has soyu sauce in it blah, blah ..."
"Do you want to buy that?"
"No, I would never eat squid sauce."
"Okay, moving along. Nothing to see here!"
He will go to the grocery store and shop if I ask him to but I would rather do it myself.
He's a good guy and very talented but he drives me nuts shopping. I see it, decide on it and throw in the cart.

The reason I wondered is because the US used to have a chain of stores called Woolworth's. They didn't sell groceries, though they sold everything else, sort of like Walmart. Well, now Walmart sells groceries in many of their stores, too. Anyway, if you want to read about Woolworth's (which your Australian food stores took the name from), see F. W. Woolworth Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When I was a little kid, my mom went to Woolworth's all the time. We called it the five-and-ten. I think originally all their stock cost five or ten cents. Sort of like the dollar stores these days, soon costs went up and things cost more than a nickel or a dime, but we still called it that when I was little.

This morning's continuing saga of "The Days of our Vapes" is just hilarious, I haven't laughed this much since a few hundred pages back.

I'd give squid sauce a try. Would you eat squid, Rabbit? I have, and I like it. Fried calamari with red sauce, sort of spicy, is really good. When I lived in NYC, we'd go out to Sheepshead Bay to the Italian seafood restaurants there. Yum!
Oh crap! Seems like the fan of my laptop is ready to die. Damn chinese fans.
Get out the compressor or canned air, Konstantine. Save that fan from oblivion!
We used to have a Woolworth's and a Newberry's in the town I grew up in, Freehold, NJ, the County Seat (and you know what part is the "seat"). Both were 5&10's but Newberry's had a soda fountain and made the best egg cream in town, even better than the ice cream shop down the street. Both had creaky old wood floors and a "bargain basement" that was actually in the basement, who'd uv thunk.

Roland. If you do that the party is over. I take apart this laptop every 2-3 months to pieces just for cleaning. Especially the fan and heatsink because it suffers from dust collection. I always lubricate the axis of it but it simply sucks.
This is the one that my aunt gave me after mine collapsed. The other one is now testing batteries.
Do not ever buy a compaq CQ56

I was thinking about your neighbor, the one with the 7kw generator running off the 3kw motor expecting 7kw out. Maybe you can sell him on the idea of turning lead into gold, they are very close atomically. Tell him you're an alchemist, like in the Renaissance, on know it can be done. Or maybe even sell him on a perpetual motion machine, that's more in ine with what he's trying to do.
I opened it again (was opened a before a week) and cleaned it again. I used lubrication on the axle. Noises stopped for now but that is temporary, i have to find a new fan.
I knew it was going to do this sometime because i was talking with a friend on the repair shop and he told me once this is going to fail.
Roland i could sell him many things but he is a neighbour and will bust my balls all day, he already knows i'm a mod on the electronics forum and asks stuff.

You'd hate to shop with me Lizzie. I have to read all the labels on stuff to ensure myself of the ingredients. It's a tedious chore when I'm looking at products I've not seen before. For extra fun, when I forget my reading glasses I practically have to stand clear across the isle to try to read the labels!

Then afterwards, she rides her motorcycle, with the dog in her lap, vaping along without her glasses.
Another adventure in the continuing saga of our little vaping diary.
You can shorten that to do not every buy Compaq, no specific model needed
I have about 3 dozen laptop fans, but I never have one that anyone needs....
