What is the Plural of vinyl? Any hint of an S at the end of the response, take them outside and shoot them. It's perfectly legal 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 @Xela’s posts about old He-Man figures, in the ‘things that cheer you up’ thread have just reminded me that I’m still pissed off about something that happened 30 years ago. A few years prior, I was the lucky and excited recipient of a big cardboard box full of Star Wars figures, for Christmas. Most of them were probably second hand as only a few were in their original packaging, not that I cared as the box was full of them. Such classics as the Ewok Village, AT-AT, Millennium Falcon, X Wing and Tie fighter, Jabba The Hut, the big brown monster Rancor from Jabba’s pit, and nearly all of the characters, including the carbon frozen Han Solo. I loved these figures up until something else took my attention, like all kids. Then one day my Dad said he was going to a car boot sale and was there anything I didn’t want any more. So I gave him the now very valuable Star Wars kit. Just before he left my sister plonked her Connect 4 game in the box. When he returned we ran to see what he’d made. Ten f**king pounds. And he gave half of that to my sister. So yeah, here I am some 30 years on, still unable to forgive my sister for skanking a very unfair share of the booty. And still annoyed that I didn’t have the foresight to keep it all. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I've just been informally offered a mate's job. Who is still in that job, and I've been told not to say anything. I'd actually quite like his job and would happily take it if he willingly moved in to a different role, but what a **** dick move. Not just looking to force someone out of their role, but putting me in a position of knowing this. Going to mull things over this evening, but currently the most appealing course of action is telling him all about it, and handing my notice in. It's just a shit way of doing business and I've completely lost respect for management. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Eugh, I use Spotify but that might be the straw that makes me stop. The big tech companies need to be broken up or taxed back down to earth. There is far too much power held by a handful of CEOs of global tech companies.
