We measure liquids in ml and litres but sometimes will use pounds and sometimes kg. As for kilometres, can never see that being adopted. I can't wait for the pubs to reopen. First thing I am going to do is go right up to that counter and order 500ml of my favourite beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question this evening: Chuck D Flavor, Flav, and DJ Lord are members of which hip hop group? I mean, that’s pretty basic knowledge if you have even a passing interest in any music post skiffle. I've never heard of any of those people let alone which hippity hop collective they are from. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to the day in athletics when they announce that pre race, they are going to find out who’s fastest at the 100 metres... and give them a head start. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletics right now is a funny one. Between Nike spring-loading shoes and LEDs electronic pacing systems, the records in long distance are tumbling. It's all a bit crap. Like those wet-suits that ruined swimming for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although I never use it myself). On a related note, what pisses me off is when I repeatedly mis-key stuff. I've got big clumsy fingers, and even though I've installed a 'big keys' app, I still mistype - and often repeatedly. Then when I try and backspace I hit the '.' instead, and end up with the original* typo, followed by '..........'. * I did it, right there - typed 'origibal' TWICE before I got it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I prefer not to use autocorrect, I find it instils a false sense of confidence, and I don't trust it not to correct to something I didn't intend. I need to proofread for typos that are valid spellings anyway. It might save you from "thnaks", but it'll let "kind retards" sail right on through.

Popular Post Xela Posted January 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2021 Talking of work... i've got the spectre of work on my back like a angry gorilla. I hate January. I know its been strange in 2020 but Christmas is still Christmas and that means shorter work days and weeks. Plus I had a lot of time off from mid November, so the last 6 weeks or so have been nice. That is over now though. The thought of a five day week and impending tougher lockdowns makes me feel lower than a snakes belly. There is literally nothing to look forward to. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sneezed a look at my emails the other day just to be aware of what was going on, making sure there hadn’t been a raging fire somewhere for the last week. My emails included a Client asking me for stuff quite late on Christmas Eve, then sending an email on Boxing Day asking me to ‘just confirm’ that I had received the Christmas Eve email. My out of office was on, I shall acknowledge both emails, tomorrow, at 8:31am Head down and get through January and February. Which was also my tactic for November and December, promising myself a great family Christmas as a reward. Well that didn’t happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I've been off since the 17th and I honestly don't know where the time has gone. Tomorrow is going to be **** dreadful. My goal for the new year is to stop trying to be a hero, and stick to 7.5 hour days. If shit doesn't get done, someone else can pick up some slack for once. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
