I know someone who buys one bottle of full cream milk, pours half of it into an empty milk bottle and adds water to both cartons to make his own skimmed milk!

I also know another generous soul who refused to take part in a staffroom "bake day" as it would cost too much. This guy also thinks that 6 SAR per bottle, which he worked out his home brew wine cost, is pretty expensive.(?) This person would also arrive at dinner parties with a bottle of said home brew, offer no-one, pour a glass for himself, and keep the bottle on the floor by his side, topping it up when required. If there was even a mere drop left, he would take the bottle home. If not, he would leave it for his hosts to clear up!

I don't think it has anything to do with being in KSA. If you are mean, you are mean...wherever you are.

But we have to laugh Very Happy

Nothing to do with me. I am house-trained.

No a front to you S&B, but you gotta know that 'Tony Soprano' is a homophobic, sexist, racist macho jerk not to mention a cold blooded murderer!
I honestly don't get how you would want to have such an avatar representing your personna? Your 'half persian kitty' would certainly be more endearing to you personna wise Very Happy

Jeez, SnB...jes' wait until they come after my avatar...um...wait...they already have!

Seriously, guys! Lighten up! I'm imagining that SnB is about my generation and doesn't have anymore respect for PC language as I do. Really??? "People of color"??? Are Caucasians now transparent???

My avatar reflects my birth date. We all have our reasons for the avatars we pick!

I'm trying to figure out how NCTBA's avatar has anything to do with his age...

"working for the Yankee dollar..." is from a Leonard Cohen song...I can hear it in my head but can't think of the song title. At least that's where I've heard the phrase.

Back to the cheapies:

I had a neighbor who would not use his air con or electric lights. He would sit on the stoop in the fading light and read, then watch tv in the dark. He himself said he did it for the money he saved. He should have at least bought deodorant with the savings.
