It's Your Round Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Seat68 said: I may have mentioned this in this very thread but I hate this delivery if poetry. I am all for a bit of poetry. I like the reading if poetry but this way of delivering poetry is like that affectation some singers in the hit parade had. For that, I’m out. Know what you mean, I prefer the more classic style of poetry. They should have gone with this instead... There was a young man from the bank Who’s poetry reading was w@nk They pretend that they care, it’s really not fair. It’s shocking how low we have sank.

My name’s only three letters, Tim, pretty easy to get right you’d think? I regularly get emails and messages saying “Hi Team, Hi Time, Hi Tom, and strangely one this morning saying “Hi Neil”. Who the feck is Neil?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 3, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 3, 2021 I've been called Brain as often as I've been called Brian in emails. I know it's an easy typo to make, but I've decided to think it's because they think I'm all smart like. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Team member contacts me at 11.30 and tells me that they aren’t doing too well writing tests scripts and won’t get much done today. I tell them its 11.30, its not even lunch, why are they writing off the day when they have no other projects, they have no other meetings and didn’t actually start work till close to 10. FFS.
