But the English translation is the most patronising thing ever. To be fair, someone has to be doing it for there to be a sign up, so I think the patronising tone is warranted. We have the same at work for pissing on the toilet seat and throwing chewing gum in the urinal. These animals need to be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Got asked to write a functional spec, did it, issued it for review, person comes back telling me it's all wrong, passes me an email telling me the detail of the function that supersedes the previous email. Have to do it all again because some idiot couldn't be bothered to give me all the detail. rocket polisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I've unfollowed a couple of prominent Villa related Twitter accounts today, for retweeting Donald Trump and Tommy Robinson. I don't follow those accounts for political opinions, they should just stick to football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There's these maple trees growing on council land just outside the fence of our back yard. They didn't use to be much of a problem until lately when they've grown so big that they block out the sun at about 3pm in the afternoon. The yard is South facing so essentially we lose something like 6 hours of sun and in winter probably something like 70% of the daily sunlight. Any ideas how I can get the council to at least top these trees? Why they planted maples that grow this much every year baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I went to the vending machine at work on Friday for a dairy milk and was delighted when the machine turned and two fell. I got back to my desk, ate one and popped the other one in my drawer for Monday. A few minutes later, I told a colleague about it and I offered her the other one (I'm a really nice guy). She said "Ooh, if you're sure, thank you!" and she popped it in her drawer. I'd forgotten about it, but she's just pulled it out her drawer and started eating it. Definitely something that's pissed me off that shouldn't...but she was supposed to eat that on Friday! You can't do that, can you!? I want it back now. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but what you don't realise is that whilst there's a pretty pathetic stink being kicked up over it apparently being health and safety gone mad that means people can't work on a live clock face ( ) the news story about the government getting close to signing off £4bn worth of refurbishment works to their place of work, which would make it the second most expensive construction project in the history of the world ever, isn't being told rocket polishers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, for a clock the H&S seems to have lost it's f****** mind there. Stay safe out there everyone.
