'I haven't learned anything since I finished training. Now I'm going to be demanding, and I'll be angry if you do things badly, but I'll *also* be angry if you do things too well and show me up'. My advice is learn how to play golf or whatever shit it is he likes doing in his free time. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted August 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2020 Going to work tomorrow to do work. I filled in a form which is required to allow people to take IT kit home. Sent the form to the security people, with "I'm in the building tomorrow anyway, can I therefore take the Monitor identified on the form home with me." No. Why not? You have to arrange an appointment, someone will escort you to the building and back to main gate. I don't need an extra appointment to go to the building, I've already been authorised to access and work in that building. You can't take it away with you, you have to make an appointment. That's mental! Don't blame me, it's the rules Can I have an appointment for tomorrow then? No. There isn't anyone available. You can have an appointment in a week's time. Forget it. I'll buy one and bill the company. This all occurred after I'd already done one visit to collect IT kit, where they wouldn't let me take a keyboard or monitor.(they've since seen sense and relaxed that) Muppets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I decided the management life was the life for me, it was suggested within the office that I take up golf. My direct boss saw an opportunity and gave me his clubs. Which meant he had to go and buy new clubs, win win as far as he was concerned. I did some golf, I chipped play balls up n down the garden, went to a couple of courses that allowed rank amateurs to wander around, did some ‘range’ practise. Very soon realised I wasn’t going to enjoy golf as I had a father and I wasn’t an absolute Pringle clad bellend. Sold the clubs. I was quite happy with the deal. Then one day my boss asked me if I wanted a game, I said no, I’d decided it was bullshit and not for me. He said fair enough, and could he have his old clubs back if I wasn’t using them... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2020 On Pointless in the final round, when the one who admits they know nothing about the subject but the other person does, nervously tries to contribute by talking through the other person's thought process.

Shut your thick **** face hole. Bloke in my village was boasting about "winning" pointless. Yes, he got to the final, but he was absolutely useless! They lucked out every round and he didn't contribute anything in the final at all. Knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut your thick **** face hole. Although conversely, when one player admits they know nothing about a subject, the other person picks that subject anyway, and then spends a minute asking the person who admitted they knew nothing about it for help 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I've started watching The Wire and before each episode the voiceover lady says 'This programme contains strong and frequent language' which doesn't make sense. Surely it should be 'contains frequent strong language'. All programmes have frequent language, otherwise they'd be silent. It just adds a new slight irritation to my day. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If I'm being honest I'm not really seeing what all the fuss is about but I've heard people say it gets better after the first series. The '**** scene' was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caffetiere does the job much better, loose coffee is cheaper and you can adjust to the strength you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are better than instant, but worse than everything else. My point was simply that the advert was trying to present them as some sort of innovation, when they've been around for decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
