Not really surprised at all!

Nobody on this forum should be at all surprised by now. We have gone through this petrol price discussion numerous times before on this forum.

It still sucks, though. And a reminder to fill up is always welcome

Definitely, I have no problem at all with you sharing the news but just hoping it does not turn into another discussion about why it is increasing.

What did you purchase, Shake?

 

[RazedInBlack]

Ye! Tell us S&B! What did you buy?

Nope, actually you implied that YOU are not surprised. I on the other hand said NO ONE should be surprised! You get the subtle difference?

Unless of course you feel you speak for everyone on this forum?

I did?

Speaking for everyone is most likely your dept.!

Well I had to make the assumption that you were talking about yourself as your post was not grammatically correct. Your simple sentence failed to include a subject therefore the reader was forced to make an assumption as to whom you were referring to.

Not really surprised at all!

Jeepers - 3rd response to the question

/derail of note - I are proud

I walked out with Assassin's Creed for R100, that was it.

Not in the market for anything really and keeping my cash back for my roadtrip.

So just went in to see if something would catch my eye and have me making an impulse purchase. But luckily that didn't happen.
Those 50"+ TV's are awesome though! But didn't have R37k laying around

Nope - I might of been driving past on Canal Walk Boulevard - it goes to our house, and to my office - if the S2000 was loud, sorta like a V8 loud - then it was me.
