Just overheard in the office - “the way you behave during pregnancy changes your baby. My mum says she did very little when she was pregnant with my brother and he’s really lazy, whereas she kept herself busy when she was pregnant with me and I’m really practical and active”. My cravings are for savoury stuff so it's going to be a boy. My mom knew it would be girl! She knew it, and she was right. So if she says yours is a boy then it's a boy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when pregnant with our daughter it was 100% a boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I've kept my head down at work for most of my career, even as I've become more senior but today it seems like my head is above the parapet in 3 separate topics 8 years of dropping no bombs and I'm forced to drop 3 in a day. See you lads at the employment office 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 28, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 28, 2023 Oh if we're on the subject of paying and transport Representatives for Wellingborough who pay by contactless when going through the Mersey Tunnels regular users have a fast tag - speedy as f*** Sensible people who aren't regular users have £2 ready in coins - still very speedy, like 2 seconds tops Pay by contactless and it takes for sodding ever. You can pay, have the money taken out of your bank, get the notification on your phone and the booth still says processing and doesn't open the barrier for another 30 seconds not only that it doesn't really tell you that its detected the contactless method, so people end up with their arm out of the car for an absolute age, something they just have to try again I think it's the only place in the country where paying by contactless is the absolutely worst option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 28, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 28, 2023 Actually it's the Mersey tunnels toll booths that piss me off thinking about it Pay by contactless - see above Pay by cash - they don't give reciepts Only got notes, go to the staffed toll booths (still labelled manned in this day and age!), they'll take your money and not give you any change. £2 toll, £20 note, no change - COVID being the excuse for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pay contactless. But it's really slow, like 20 secs or so. Then it prints a receipt. Multiply by however many people are on the bus and no **** wonder they're always late.

sidcow Posted November 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 28, 2023 Seems like Liverpool is the problem which comes as no surprise to anyone. They've probably withdrawn from UK banking arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Get the local MP in Liverpool to ask a question in the commons why the buses are always late and constant queues for the Mersey Tunnel, see what James Cleverly thinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more stupid than that, on Stagecoach you have to tell the driver where you are going to he can print the right ticket "But its £2 for any journey" - shrug of shoulders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see why nothing gets done? EDIT: And the answer to the bus question will be, the Metro Mayor is trying to take control of all the buses. It'll be better then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just drive through without stopping, but it photographs your number plate, and you've got until midnight the following day to log on and pay.
