Popular Post chrisp65 Posted March 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yay! Phaddywak office pranks. Years ago (when computers had integral roller ball mouse things built in to the keyboard and we thought we had to wear Space 1999 suits to drive a computer), we had a little spinning device installed in the CAD office for us cutting edge space dudes drawing on a screen not on paper. It was supposed to de ionise the air or some such aromatherapy crap. Anyway, we quickly discovered that touching the little spinny thing with one hand and touching someone else with the other caused a zap. A little static charge. Within the hour, I got to thinking, what if I kept my hand on the spinner, and waited, and waited.... Well it turns out that what happened was the guy I eventually zapped got blown off his chair and sat on the floor for about 15 minutes shivering whilst we all tried to reassemble his desk. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2016 13 hours ago, Chindie said: A recruiter has at short notice got me an interview with a company I've never heard of, for a role I'm exceptionally unlikely to be able to do to any great degree, or will sacrifice so much salary it's not worth my while doing it, in a place that is a nightmare for me to get to. I feel like a prick, because I did quickly agree to the interview as I walking down the street yesterday, but looking into it its an enormous waste of everyone's time, and my money to get there. Even if they offered me the job, unless they were going to pay me a figure that made it a no brainer (which they won't be doing by any means), I'd turn it down. I'm gonna have to say no thanks on the day of an interview and that makes me look like a clearing in the woods. Just phone back and cancel. It happens all the time. Tell them you've had time to think about it and it's not for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've called this morning and he doesn't seem to be about, typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Last time I went into a Starbucks was to get my girlfriend a frappuccino with soya milk because she's lactose intolerant. But they asked if I'd like whipped cream on the top and I said yes. I got in trouble for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Paddywhack's fiancee is lactose intolerant, but eats pizza You should refer to that when you got told off for a bit of squirty cream which is easily removable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a racist or saying something racist shouldn't necessarily be considered to be 'inciting racial hatred' which, unfortunately, it largely appears is the case. I've only had a quick look at the Huff Post article* (the Sky one posted didn't seem to have much detail about subsequent comments) and, distasteful as his language may be, I would again suggest that the police ought to have better things to do. The responses (i.e. taking the piss out of what he tweeted) would seem to me the best way forward - not using up valuable resources that are being required to do more for less, e.g. the police and justice system.
