Robtaylor200 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 People on phones again. Here is something from my fountain of knowledge I was given this tip many years ago and still use it today. If you are in conversation with some one and have had enough, Hang up during the sentence you are speaking. No one hangs up when they are speaking and so the caller believes its you that got cut off and then dont reply when they call back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 You know that rocket polisher at the Marine vs Spurs game last week? The Representative for Wellingborough blasting the air horn every 30 seconds? He's the type to loudly have a phone call on a train or walking around the office. There's basically two types of people, one group who assume everyone is really interested in whatever bollocks they're up to, and the others have some basic human decency. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I just opened my car boot for the first time since boxing day. I'd forgotten I'd put the 35,000 cardboard boxes from Christmas day in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten I'd put the 35,000 cardboard boxes from Christmas day in there. I was momentarily confused. I thought you meant you were opening a car boot sale type thing where your USP is cardboard boxes, that's why you had so many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Risso Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 I hate talking on the phone, absolutely have an extreme aversion to it. It's like when you're a kid, you love getting post because the only things you get are birthday cards with book tokens in. Then as you get older, the post gradually turns to bills, mortgage statements and insurance documents and everything else that is a pain to deal with. It's the same with phone calls, as a kid, the calls were from grandparents wishing you happy birthday, mates asking if you wanted to go round, and then later on from girlfriends. Then when you start working, it's dozens of calls a day from arseholes, either customers or members of staff and that childlike joy is destroyed, call by call. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don't know if it's because I've just noticed that today is Blue Monday, but for some reason I feel massively bad tempered and irritable today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted January 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2021 I habitually check the Google 'here's stuff that might interest you atm' feed thing on my phone. Usually it's rubbish but every now and then there's something I might be interested in. Today, one of the stories is from the Birmingham Mail website, one I was never going to click on because it's the Mail site. But still... The story is 'Heavy snow expected, but set to miss Birmingham'. Why does the Birmingham Mail feel it's readers need to know there's snow somewhere else? I appreciate that is almost certainly down to them producing these articles in bulk across the country and their various imprints and making minor changes to make them locally relevant, but still... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I do love how local news desperately try and get a hook into an international story. Huge bomb blast in Bolivia - Here’s Steve from Castle Bromwich who’s old neighbour once flew over Bolivia on his way to South Africa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah when I saw your first post I was going to reply that as you are MJM I had better not respond with what I posted round my WhatsApp groups today. But now you've gone and asked for it: Apparently today is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. If you are feeling a little low today can I recommend that you play Blue Monday by New Order on your stereo and have a bop around your kitchen. You'll feel a damn sight better then. Go one, you know you want to MJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
