The definition is 'rose' - not the flower, but the past tense of the verb 'to rise' - as in 'rose up', or... rebelled. Yeah I understood it once you gave me the answer. I'd have never got there myself though. Funny because I consider myself good at cryptic clues and puzzles. But the level that makes up cryptic crosswords is just beyond me.

Exactly, it definitely shouldn't piss me off shouldn't but I did come in slightly disappointed with the lack of thread bumps. Oh well, back to the takeover thread.

Xann Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Used to work for a guy who'd look the Times crossword over after clicking the kettle on, first thing in the morning. He often had it completed by the time he'd finished his toast - All achieved whilst sporting a thumping hangover. Really intelligent, really talented, really unhappy, shocking alcoholic. He had that genius/depression thing going on. He seemed to have read every classic book ever and retained everything. Other aspects of his life were chaos. He had the best office ever. A chair, a filing cabinet and a table with a formidable mountain of crumpled receipts. On the floor behind the door, out of site of the hall, a suspiciously stained mattress covered in cat poo. Talking of cats, our Git (that's his name) threw up in our bedroom last night. It had peas in it. Little weirdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted May 19, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2016 Manager at work. You know the one, the guy who gets up at 4am to turn the skybox on because he doesn't trust it to leave it on overnight. That one. His latest story is that his son ate a multipack of 12 bags of crisps one after the other right in front of him. When we asked "why didn't you stop him?" he said "He wouldn't let me!" His son is, at most, 18 months old. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2016 He has no control. None at all. When he looks after his son he calls it babysitting. It's like it's not even his son. I'm not a parent, but I know he's a shit one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably threatening to pull out his ipad and order a takeaway via just eat if he didn't. Kids can do that these days right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2016 He's also said he got in bother before when he was working from home and he was on a conference call but his son kept taking the phone off him. He makes it sound like his son walks all over him. And just to re-emphasise, his son isn't even 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he isn't to be fair. He is an absolute bell end though. Luckily I don't work for him. He just sits in my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
