Just for the sake of talking is it?! You know the bloody answer. Stop asking pointless inane questions. Why?! WHY?!?!?! I put it down to insecurity. It's just for the sake of opening their mouth and 'CoNtRiBuTiNg'. I find it's nearly always the weakest or stupidest in the herd that feel the need to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Also, the widely-held belief (by many pub quiz setters, among others) that the singer on that recording was Sally Oldfield. It was Maggie Reilly.

Bizzzle Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 There is a guy at work that goes on holiday more than anyone I have ever known! Every time he is off he’s away abroad on holiday. Plus almost every weekend he goes away somewhere in the country! He can’t just spend the weekend just chilling doing nothing he has to be away doing something! People I have moaned about it to reckon I am just jealous but I am not because I could go away. I have absolutely no idea why it bothers me but it does 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who came in to IT from a different career i notice this so much. They typically lack in social skills and are quite often aloof to the point of being autistic (not belittling autism by the way). They get incredulous if you don't understand what they're saying to you but remember this - loads of them spend too much time playing online games against 14 yr old apprentice nerds, hardly seeing the light of day thereby developing skin tone the colour of tippex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used "More holidays than Alan Whicker" until recently when I had to explain to 75% of my colleagues who Whicker was and that he wasn't the creepy looking guy from accounts. I need to update my references. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
