Tesco have recently applied their Clubcard Boost to a lot of stuff on Tesco Direct. I've got over £30 in vouchers at the very least and nothing I can justify buying!

It's kind of a good problem to have, but I seem to have it at least once a month...


Not got many point this time around but I'll pick up Dead Rising 3 for £20 using boost


The boost doesn't last long so don't forget.

Just waiting for my points. Any day now. Although I'm not sure how you boost them for online stuff as I've only boosted in-store before.

The boost is automatic once you click to add the vouchers at checkout. There's a Tesco site that asks for three digits off your card and tells you what you have, most of the details and links are here... Link above due to high levels of tablet FAIL :roll:

From time to time we get those motorbikes racing up and down the footpaths beside the river.
Police are always fairly sharp in getting to them though so they are never around for long.

We really only see the police when someone's attacking the Alliance offices. Again.

Am I the only one getting sick and tired of seeing mutilated children, and parts of children, used as emotional leverage on TV and the internet? Especially when it's to do with bloody Gaza?

Let the poor little bastard at least have some dignity in death!

Sick and tired, yes, but for perhaps different reasons.

While I am horrified by what's happening in Gaza - What Israel is doing is way beyond what's required to achieve their stated objective and innocent peopel are dying because of it - the reporting has to me seemed very... emotionally manipulative. Not so much showing the casualties being brought to hospital or such, that's fair game IMO, but ... for example, I saw a photo of a pile of rubble with a broken child's wheelchair on top of it. Now, there's no way that wheelchair got there on it's own and frankly there's no way someone sat in it could get it up there. It was placed there deliberately, 'posed' for the photograph.

That is false, it's manipulative and it's wrong. It reminds me of the war photographer Stephen Tomlinson (I think) played in 'Drop The Dead Donkey' who would always carry a child's toy around with him to place at the scenes of atrocities to get the best picture.

Stop it, just stop it. Tell/Show us the story as it is.

Manipulating or staging war images has been going on since the Crimea (clicky ).
If it communicates the situation, then I'm not essentially anti the practice.

IMO it's over-dramatising the situation (as if it ruddy needs it) and we shouldn't allow the news we see to be manipulated, at least not this blatantly. It's bordering on propaganda.
