Paddywhack Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I had a sort through of my clothes at the weekend to get rid of stuff I've got far too fat for. I found a forgotten pair of jeans at the back of the wardrobe and couldn't work out why I'd stopped wearing them. I tried them on and they still fit. Chuffed. Went to the pub, put change in my pocket. Big hole in the pocket, innit. Edited January 14, 2019 by Paddywhack 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly when some cheeky sod puts a meeting somewhere between the hours of 1 and 2pm. Lunch time. **** off. Have your meeting. I'm not available. Quite so. Especially Friday lunchtimes. Pub. The only thing I miss about work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Mayor/President of Gdansk Pawel Adamowicz murdered at a charity event last night. Seemingly for political reasons. Desperately sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 GP's that have **** all clue about anything. Ignore the fact that they make you wait forever (that's something we should be pissed off about). I just hate how they make a ton of money and literally never have the answer for anything useful. They have three answers they use for anything. 1) Get lots of rest and come back if it gets worse 2) Use some painkillers or/and a sick day 3) You should see a specialist (read: a real doctor). Swear GP's are a total waste of good spunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You find a free slot in someone's diary, send them a meeting request, and they can decline it they can't make it/don't want to attend. Don't see the issue. I guess that's why the thread's called 'thing that piss you off that shouldn't'. Edited January 14, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't have featured in many cars! I had one in my car .. I was an early adopter of mini disc as you could run with them rather than CD’s that skipped all the time ... until i-river came along and changed the game with a decent MP3 funnilly enough I saw the mini disc unit from my old stack system in the loft the other day when I put the Christmas decorations away , might have to dig it all out one day and have a trip down memory lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 15, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2019 "Jadon Sancho has become the first player born in the 21st century to be called up to the England squad". No he hasn't. Quick lesson. There is no year zero. There are 1 hundred years in a century. Whether you like it or not, centuries go from 1 to 100. The 21st century began in 2001. He was born in March 2000. It probably shouldn't piss me off, but the dumbing down of 1-indexed stuff - and I include the whole 'midnight' thing which we've covered before - pisses me off because all over the place accuracy is being subverted by ignorance. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling over to [xx]00 is always still significant societally, so yes we all celebrated 2000 'like' it was a new century, but technically it was still the 20th century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A child up to their 1st birthday is zero point whatever. The calendar we use does not have a zero AD. 1BC is followed by 1AD, not 0AD. There are other numbering systems and other calendars, but we don't use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
