Stevo985 Posted September 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2018 People posting "has he gone yet?" in threads about footballers or managers. No. He hasn't gone yet. You know he hasn't. I know he hasn't. We all know he hasn't. What are you achieving by posting this? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 That guy at the football, who when clearly not happy with our current manager, shouts out a list at Bruce consisting of when Bruce should have been sacked and all the reasons why he should be sacked. Mate, it isn't an article and your point is getting completely lost and diluted. This is neither the time nor the place for reason Just keep it short and sweet with a "**** off Bruce!" and we'll all be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Trying to pick out a new sofa for the new house we’re moving into. It’s become an obsession to find the right one. Struggling to find anything I like that isn’t a £2500+ Danish design. Is that an outlandish amount to spend on a three seater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that’s outlandish. Last year my folks bought a 3 seater and a 2 seater for £3,500 - La Z boy style leather sofas. If it’s going to last you, say 10 years, you may as well buy the one you want as long as you’re happy to meet the cost. Especially if it’s going to look great in your room and you’re going to use it a lot. Think of it as £250 a year for the sofa. Or around £5 a week to sit in comfort. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2018 This is a weird one: People laughing loudly in an office environment. I'm not for one moment suggesting people shouldn't laugh in an office or at work. That's mental. But I find it weird when people laugh at the top of their lungs. Big booming laughter that you can hear all over the office. there's a couple of people in mine who do it. It pisses me off that they don't try to stifle it a bit.

On a related note, I work beside the loudest human on planet earth. His natural, non-shouty voice would knock Brian Blessed into a cocked hat. He's not trying to be loud. It's just a gift I suppose.

Whatever you do, take you time choosing. I spent a couple of grand on a sofa earlier this year and by the time I'd unwrapped it, I hated it. I already want to replace it but think I should wait at least 12 months before I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once worked with a woman who had a phenomenally loud voice over the telephone. So, if a colleague across the office got an internal call from her, they would immediately flinch away from the handset - and the rest of her could hear her stentorian bellow from across the room. But here's the odd thing - if you were in the room with her while she was using the phone, her voice was at a perfectly normal level. It was as if the phone picked up some specific frequencies in her voice and massively amplified them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m convinced some people, subconciously, don’t accept that the concept of telecommunications work. Hence, they raise their voice when talking on the phone to make sure they’re heard properly (so far away, you know). At least that’s what I think when I hear my wife talking to her (already loud) family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
