BOF Posted March 3, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 3, 2017 34 minutes ago, This Could Be Rotterdam said: The heating at work has stopped working overnight. Its getting gradually colder and I'm sat in the office on my own. None of this annoys me more than the fact i asked for the day off as annual leave last week and it got rejected because someone wouldnt work their day off to cover me. No problem, except that person is now working their day off in another office. All while i have to wait here for the engineer to come out and turn the heating on. Health and safety. Take the day off because the office is unsuitable. That way you keep your annual leave day. Make sure to flip the bird while exiting the front door for maximum effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The fact that the PWC officials who cocked up at the Oscars have had death threats and need protection. What is wrong with people?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the main reason I moved out. Upon my exit I screamed, 'They eventually get mouldy, you old fool!' and slammed the door. We haven't spoken since. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted March 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2017 I do it, but the next time I use the butter I use those bits first, so it's never a problem. But at least you're in the right thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 You contaminate fresh toast with old toast bits in the butter? You're a monster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The nippers homework. Trace the ZZ's to practice them. Write the ZZ's into the gaps of the words below. Trace the alphabet. Write out the alphabet. Write a poem about a dinosaur. I can't help but feel they've missed a few months of lessons somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted March 5, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ordering something to be delivered to home today and seeing Amazon state the item is still 'dispatching now' for delivery today by 9... I suspect it won't turn up... More annoying as it wouldn't let me cancel earlier and I hate having stuff delivered to home when I'm not in.

Ingram85 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) The new Aldi advert. Cue female voice over swooning over a semi naked man having water splashed over him commenting on his "washboard abs". Would this be allowed on modern TV if the roles were reversed? If I have a child in future I hope to god it's female, I wouldn't want to bring a white male into this stupid world at the mo. It's **** up. Hell of a reaction to a tv advert I know but it's not just that one ad obviously, the whole sentiment is starting to grind now.

Similarly, female on male violence seems to be acceptable for 'comedy' purposes. I have a 4 year-old daughter so watch a lot of Disney. Watching 'Tangled' the other day and Rapunzel knocks a guy out with a frying pan shot to the head. Twice. Once whilst he's tied up. In Frozen, one of the sisters punches a guy full in the face and I'm pretty sure Moana gave Maui a beating with an oar at one point. These are just some examples that spring to mind. I'm almost tempted to use a sentence containing the word 'normalises'... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted March 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2017 The amount of chin-stroking, beret and dungaree-wearing, beardy twonks that inhabit art galleries. I know this is exactly the kind of place they hang out but the amount of sneery looks I got for having the temerity to wander round the exhibition wearing jeans, trainers and a RUNDMC t-shirt was just ridiculous. I guess there's elitism in every part of the planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
