My point exactly

So Darren and Fong May are braving the cold in an effort to hunt and gather. Therefore, Han Wen's been unanimously voted as washer up for tonight, only we haven't told him yet. Flat 8 is a republic, just like the little island most of us hail from, i.e. everything's put to a vote, or else.

There was a discount coupon lying on the kitchen counter, and I'm being generous calling it a kitchen counter, because it's more like 50-square-cm of faux-slate formica laminate half covered in bottled sauces and sticky stuff that glues all the bottles into their neatly arranged rows. Not sure what the sticky stuff is yet, haven't had the guts to find out. Anyhow, this isn't about the horrors that inhibit our kitchenesque corridor, so we'll get back to the discount coupon.

This coupon gives you a discount of 50p on Dolmio pasta. Not a bad deal when you're buying um, maybe enough for your hamster, but naturally, there are conditions, which are as follows:

"To the consumer:
Hand in this coupon (not a copy) at any participating Sainsbury's store where it will be accepted as part-payment (50p) towards the bona fide retail purchase of one 220g pouch of Dolmio Filled Pasta. Only one coupon per transaction. Please do not attempt to redeem this coupon against any other product, as refusal to accept may cause embarrassment and delay at the checkout. Valid until: 31/01/02."

Talk about a disclaimer.
