To be fair, it wasn't just the amount of people, but the staff had left loads of those trolleys they carry around the stuff for stacking shelves with all over the place. I hate supermarkets at the best of times. But that was horrible. Yep, Mere Green It was my own fault for going there at 4pm on the last weekday before Xmas. I only went there as I needed the cashpoint and a bite to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Genie Posted December 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2016 Remember about 15 years ago when you might send a text at midnight on NYE and because of the technology it might not get through for a couple of hours... Someone I used to work with just put on Facebook that he's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas now before the internet gets busy later... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a shop by the icc / library that sells postcards, don't think I've ever seen what I'd call a tourist tat shop* in brum going away from the original question, I love a good tat shop when I'm on holiday!

Paddywhack Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Walking back from the pub earlier with my dad and brother in law when my dad stopped us in the middle of the road to point out what a terrible job the neighbour had done on his conservatory. He'd moved on to slagging off his guttering when we noticed the neighbour's head was sticking over the fence a few feet away from us. He was putting Christmas lights up, probably making a terrible job of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm being honest, I'm not really sure what he was doing as I ran off as soon as I saw him. I can't think of anything else he'd have been doing to his fence at this time of year though, I haven't been in my garden for about 3 months.

StefanAVFC Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I work 8-4:30 with half an hour lunch. Bit shit really. But as my contract is for 40 hours (inc lunch) I've built up about 30 hours worth of overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted December 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2016 I just walked into the break room at work and a woman I've never seen before was sat in there on her own, crying. I did what anybody else would do, I pretended I hadn't seen her and made a beeline for the kettle. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
