foreveryoung Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 While we are still on topic of the BBC. Why should I still pay my TV license, if I'm paying to receive my signal from SKY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should I pay for a driving licence when I buy my cars from Japan? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We 'upgraded' to a new ticket logging system at work. First day live, it's broken and has been for 2 hours. Can't work properly. Fan-bloody-tastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) We're moving to Service Now soon and that looks amazing. Our current one is pants though. I didn't log a ticket for 2 hours, so now have to double back on everything as well as do my job as normal at the same time.

JB Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I read that it's something to do with the brain not being able to register that you're in motion because your eyes are looking at a (relatively) stationary object. I'm not sure how true it is but if ever I'm a passenger in a car and I start reading, I'll feel a bit of nausea come on. If I start watching the scenery pass by then I feel better almost immediately.

It's the same at sea. If I'm below deck, I'll feel sick. But standing up top in the breeze, I'm OK, even on a rough sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next Ad in the series: Trev borrowed money from Micky The Badger, to bet on Rooney to score first, in the big match. Rooney got subbed off after 10 mins, and now Trev is in 10 large. Micky The Badger is going to take his thumbs, if Trev doesn't pay up by Wednesday. Bet now you slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags! You love it! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2016 A year or two ago, I posted a pic in the Rogues' Gallery of one of my old football teams, and talked a bit about one of the guys in the picture, big Steve - no footballer, but a thoroughly great bloke and a good mate of mine. I am just about to set off to visit him in the hospice where he is dying of oesophagal cancer, hours or at best days left. Yes, it's another vote for cancer in this thread. Sorry for the downer, but I am absolutely gutted. Don't know what I can say to his missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Victor aswell. I actually moved to him from Paddy because of his odds. I do follow Paddy on the social media sites though because he is funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the downer, but I am absolutely gutted. Don't know what I can say to his missus. my thoughts are with you Mike from my experience with my friend who died in December I just acted as usual , My friend knew he was dying but we never had that conversation , we talked about how he wouldn't be able to drive again until the following year , how he was hoping to come away with us on the next lads trip once he was better ... we both knew but that was the way he wanted it to be ... the last time I went he refused to see me (or anyone else) , he did that to spare me \ us from that awkward goodbye , all we could do then was wait for the call ... and then after he died his family just wanted to hear stories and memories about him , I'd go around and drink tea with them whilst they spoke about him (yes , I know tea !!) dug up all those old pictures from our teens and shared them , I agonised at the doorbell before I pushed it , not sure what to say , if they would want to talk to people or be left alone ..rest assured I'm glad I did and I think that's all you can really do is just be there for the family ,ring the doorbell even if you don't know what to say we are doing a charity quiz night for him next month and have plans to do something on what would have been his 50th in October , the plan is to not let him be forgotten and I think that's all you can do really 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
