Oh, and thanks for spoiling the surprise. I got you a packet of vine tomatoes, and a Dangermouse pencil sharpener. Now we're even. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53296#post-153588 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 17:59:23 +0000 Qoxiivi 153588@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Poundland's ace. The toys especially. On a visit a few months ago I came across some plastic action figures with swords and shields and such. The range was, rather unambitiously, called ‘All Kinds Of Knights’.</p> <p>They could have called it anything; ‘Super Knights’, but, no. All they saw fit to highlight was the fact that there were ‘all kinds’ of them. To be fair, there were. Even ones that were ostensibly meant to be the same kind of knight were quite distinguishable from one another due to the slapdash and highly irregular paint-jobs. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53296#post-153583 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 17:11:19 +0000 Perks 153583@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nice. However my personal observation is when shop workers wear them they seem miserable. It's a beautiful mixture of joy and miserable Cnut </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53296#post-153580 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 16:57:27 +0000 Squudge 153580@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>yep - that is why we have 'em here<br /> <a href="http://www.poundland.co.uk/">tatsville</a> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53296#post-153579 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 16:56:13 +0000 waylandsmithy 153579@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I don't think we have them in Cheshire.

Most observers will just think you’re a bell-end.”</p> <p>Neat-O! </p>
