I feel a bit bad about it, as I have friends who have them, but still, I can't help it. I was thinking about them the other day, when I saw a guy who had "BO55 DAD" as his. Groan. (although I guess that's not personalised, but still) I reckon the only time I would have one is if somebody bought it for me (although if they did they wouldn't know me very well!) or if I bought a car and it's normal numberplate said something like "nob" at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I saw a girl in a white A1 with the plate 'WH05 HOT' the other day. I overtook her just to judge for myself. Unfortunately the answer was 'not her'. Edited May 25, 2017 by JB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 There's a bumblebee flying around the office at the moment and it's the biggest bee I've ever seen. I swear it's a bear with wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should just burn the **** house down. The leak would put it out knowing my luck. I've found a decent tradesman at last. It's not the first leak I've had from the bathroom, for the past 6 months I think I've been chasing 3 or 4 leaks around in the space of a square meter, with the help of a variety of fairly bad plumbers. This guy turned up when he said he would (must be a first for a plumber!) and suggested ripping the whole mess out and redoing it properly. £150, but that should be the end of the bloody leaks, hopefully. then I just need a plasterer...

StefanAVFC Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 People who spin their roles on LinkedIn to make themselves look way better. There's being economical with the truth, and there's flat out lying. One of the first line desk agents in my my contract, in the UK is listed as an 'IT Operations Analyst'. Nah, you pick up the phone and troubleshoot basic Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I've seen a car with the number plate KR05 0TV in Sheldon. You have to laugh at the level of obsession. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that accidentally My title is "Head of Supply Chain Analytics - Actuation Systems", i.e. the head of analytics FOR Supply Chain FOR Actuation But the amount of messages and emails I get from people who obviously don't read past the first three or four words and think I'm the head of the entire Supply Chain for this massive company is amazing. I keep getting invites to make keynote speeches at these huge conferences and things like that Edited May 25, 2017 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's becasue they have literally bucket loads of confidence that they can manage to overcome their crippling inner doubts and learn to fly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 4 inch windscreen crack from this morning is now 10 inches long and looping back down to where the original one started. Insurance can't get it sorted until next Friday because it isn't in my eye line when driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I like training/the gym etc, but...the word removed earlier who walked through a crowd of drinkers, smugly drinking his protein shake. What annoyed me was that it wasn't a pre-bottled protein shake, and it wasn't in a protein shaker...it was in the detachable 'jug' part of a blender. Why would you do that!? You look like an absolute word removed! Nobody thinks you're cool but everyone thinks you're a clearing in the woods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look like an absolute word removed! Nobody thinks you're cool but everyone thinks you're a clearing in the woods. People love everybody to know that they go to the gym. Even when you're IN the gym, people seem to show off that they're there. Screaming and shouting and throwing weights around. Like most things, if you're showing off, the likelihood is that literally nobody is impressed. Same as when I saw a chav doing a wheelie on his shitty moped through Sutton Coldfield the other day. The only person who thinks that was impressive was him. Everyone else thought he was a prick. Edited May 26, 2017 by Stevo985 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
