They should have left it when they became millionaires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, they were **** useless and still had to go to A&E a few days later and get a box of cocodamol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was telling us about something this morning when she said " I was sat in my sofa..". This made the two women either side of her scream with laughter and interrupt to explain, "You don't sit in a sofa, you sit on a sofa!". I don't think they mean to take the piss, they're trying to laugh along with her, but this happens 2 or 3 times a day. I can tell it's starting to wind this woman up and she's said a few times "I want to hear you two speak Romanian." Another one this afternoon was "I was putting on the make up" followed by "Pwahahaha, I think you mean, 'I was putting on my make up'". There's this new American guy at work and we were talking about baguettes for some reason, then suddenly he changed the subject and asked if I was a fan of Friends which confused me but I went with it and said shit like 'yeah i used to watch it back in the day, Jennifer Aniston was fit' etc. He looked at me like an idiot and said 'are you a fan of Fraaance, not Friends'. Just speak proper ffs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely should have gone to a walk-in centre, but I was just concerned that I might need to get an X-ray. In the end, not needed, just lots of painkillers.

Chindie Posted February 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2020 Train journey this morning. Train basically empty. Great! Bang... Bang... ... BANG... Bang...bangbang... After about 10 minutes of this, which I could hear over the podcast I was listening to, I got up, and could see it was the toilet door, which had been left ajar and was slamming into the frame and the loo whenever the train shifted even slightly. This was an old carriage, it had the old real doors on a cupboard style loo, rather than the 'prize on Bullseye' (copyright Frankie Boyle) revolving ones. Right, I could do with a piss anyway, since I'm up I may as well take a leak. Having had said piss, I turn around and start the always slightly awkward manoeuvre for some larger than a Hobbit to get back out of a tiny room with a door that opens into it. As I begin to turn, the train suddenly lurches round a corner, and I'm slammed into the wall, proper cheek whacking the wall stuff, with the added indignity of the grab rail having my bollocks hurled into it. Just as the pain from that reaches my brain the train lurches again and I'm thrown off balance into the door, kidney greeting the door handle like a sex offender greets fresh meat. No pain this time though, because I'm absolutely raging. I finally get out of the bastard plumbing wardrobe and slam the door shut. But the thing that really annoyed me? In the seat right next to the toilet door, was a woman. She was doing her makeup. She'd been there since before I'd got on the train. The makeup must have been the equivalent of the Forth Rail Bridge as there's no amount of mysterious powders covering up a face like the Grand Canyon. The kind of face that's been eaten by the nasty, hate filled, self obsessed soul inside, slowly infecting through the surface. This woman was sat in the seat that could have seen her shut the toilet door without even moving her decrepit arse. Had she done that, I wouldn't have an aching kidney and my testicles wouldn't have retreated for recuperation, and I wouldn't have the distinct worry that my face has been whacked into a wall that's seen some true sights over the years. As the train came into New Street, she was stood behind me waiting to exit. I could see in the reflection of the window the sour faced bint was staring at my arse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A work email at 11:30 explaining that they’re selling pancakes for £1 on pancake day for charity. ”please let us know how many you would like by 1pm today!” Bit eager seen as it’s 3 weeks away but whatever. “please reply even if you don’t want any so we don’t have to keep chasing you” Absolutely bonkers. 12:45, I have a woman come over to my desk to ask if I want any pancakes, because I haven’t replied to the email. I think some people in your office have a lot of time on their hands and need to be reported to the directors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Bands gear stolen Quote A band who had equipment stolen during a car break-in has thanked the public after most of it was recovered from a buy-and-sell store. Do Nothing, from Nottingham, appealed for help after gear worth £800 was taken from an underground car park in George Street, in the city, on Monday. Bands gear stolen Quote “We returned home to some unfortunate news… Our trailer was broken into and our gear was stolen. The thieves broke our trailer door and got away with custom drums, cymbals, discontinued amplifiers, custom road cases, merchandise, and a new generator. Bands gear stolen Quote Colin Croom, a musician with Chicago-based indie-rock band Twin Peaks, has had his 1997 Fender Telecaster ever since he was 6-years-old. That guitar, along with the band’s other instruments and gear were stolen Monday night. This pisses me off when it shouldnt. The amount of times I used to see on Facebook, people sharing posts from bands that had gear stolen from cars, vans or trailers. This is lunacy by the band and sorry, they deserve everything they get. You leave gear in a van, you leave a band member in the van. Someone should stay with the gear. You wouldnt leave 800 quid unattended on the dashboard so why take a risk in a strange town and leave the essentials for your job unattended. Ridiculous. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rodders Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 people who play music / videos / podcasts whatever - in public areas without headphones, with just general callous disregard for anyone else's own interests. I'm trying to read a book and this arse nearby is - in the café lounge area - just blasting out youtube videos. Absolute tool. I can tune out loud conversations no problem - with the occasional exception of those people who absolutely insist everyone nearby is witness to their latest source of outrage. Cafe's are a bit less bad than buses / trains - pure evil - but still annoying. Is it a lack of self awareness? Not caring or am I too wound up by it? Similarly people who are clearly doing something like duolingo where I can here the PING! every 5 seconds when they've completed a task. Yes, you're very clever, TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 7, 2020 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2020 Randomers going over and playing the piano in the arrivals area of the airport. I know that's what it's there for. That's why it shouldn't piss me off. But is it too much to ask that I wait in **** silence? I don't care how good you are. I didn't come here for a **** musical performance.
