Saturday night I had some fool of a work colleague ringing me at 1.50 in the morning to see if I was out, and last night at 2.10 I had another fool ringing me because he fancied a chat. Unreal. Turn your phone off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I was up last night anyway with the baby, but still, it's the last thing I want at that time in the morning. Hate talking to people when they are pissed as well.

Just... what? Why is it so oddly specific? What happens if you do underestimate a guy who was born in February and listens to Pink Floyd? There is a whole bunch of bands and months that come up on Facebook adverts specifically leeched from your data i actually thought what a waste of advertising money , nobody is gonna buy that ... seems I was wrong , at least one person has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to the Stamford but got confused. Both nice hotels but the Playford is way more expensive. Room more expensive Parking more expensive Breakfast more expensive So in less than 24 hrs I will be much poorer. Shouldn't piss me off cos my Mrs thinks I'm a legend, but it does cos she would've thought I was a legend at the Stamford and I would a had $100+ in my wallet. Oh well.... Just as long as you don't get your Mrs and your girlfriend confused as that will cost you way more than $100 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 2 minutes ago, Rugeley Villa said: Just incase there is an emergency with someone. As unlikely as an emergency is, you could use your phone's 'do not disturb' feature. I sometimes work nights and then need to sleep until around midday so my 'do not disturb' will only allow incoming calls from my missus and two kids. They know I'm sleeping and only ring if it's urgent, although in the last 4 years nothing ever has been urgent. Anyone else can leave a message and I'll get back to them when I wake or they can call 999! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a bank holiday I jump out of bed at 7 fresh as a **** daisy. 7:30 is a lie in mate, 5:35 alarm every day for me. 7:30ish at the weekend when the bambinos are up.

Midfielder Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 When you come back to work after a bank holiday, and one by one, chatterbox women come in and spend the entire morning either boasting how great / disappointing their weekends were. Good or bad, they can say this in one minute. But as each one comes in, the same stuff being said again and again but expanded upon. One, here, has been on a rant since 745, that's a couple of minutes over an hour so far and we have been off what, three days? Debriefing also, to people who dont actually like each other or give a sh--. It is like a free for all on bullsh-- worsened every time someone comes in, like a fire that's raging then dies down, then... is stoked and flames up again every time someone else adds their verbal kerosene to it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to avoid all this talking about stuff i care not. Don't forget, I am the only english person in the office so it's all in Dutch which unfortunately I can understand perfectly. It's amazing, it's only birds and it's still going on today at 10:21 am becasue some of them had the Monday off as well (Monday was not a bank holiday here but last Thursday was so some have 3,4 or 5 days of rubbish to talk about, in Dutch) I wish I had never learnt the language now. They don't have as many words as english so it can get a bit repetitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard about six or seven times about little bleeding Angus and the waterslide. He's between about 8-10 years old but i hate the bast--- and its not even his own fault. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
