Is it VAR related because Chelsea wear white socks? **** off No it's the rules of the game as they've been forever, two teams can't have the same colour socks, no different from shirts or shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 My economy department who obsess over our billed hours list. It's like it's the most important thing in the world to have them EXACTLY on time. Whether you're stuck on a hospital in Rwanda impaled by a goat doesn't matter. Then when you are so far away you can't actually do anything about it and a week passes without you delivering, what happens? Nothing. Everything works fine. And yes yes I know it's their job and if everyone did it, it would become a problem. But **** me. They are so annoying nagging about that stuff it boils my blood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in an economy department My construction company has an 8 man team checking that staff hours are booked in to the system correctly and 1 man sat on site managing £120m of subcontracts Its mental The worst thing about it is that due to the forecasting and actual booking and the evolving nature of the project I would say at least 25% of the work my boss wants me to do ends up in the bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want to know is whether he's sharing this hospital bed with the goat (because it's still impaling him) or if the goat has been surgically removed, and if so how was the goat disposed of? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted May 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 6, 2021 Let me get this right - there are people on here who like shopping, who actively look forward to it? Jebus. that said, I walk to the Supermarket and do the shop in the store - I can't be arsed with internet supermarketing - it's only a 5 minute walk and I know where stuff is...which leads me on to the TTPYO thing - when the Supermarket moves stuff around and then I can't find the things that I need. Why do they do it? what on earth gets into their heads? Leave stuff where it is, so people can find it. Twunts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Some are worse for it than others. There's not been any significant movement at my Tesco in years. When I used to work at Asda it felt like we rearranged things every 3 months, it was a massive ballache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Just one substitute on last nights delivery from Tesco, pack of 4 Kit Kat chunkys, they replaced the regular ones with white chocolate version. Just had one with my lunch, bloody lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Supermarket shop day is real in our house. We have to do a tour of Tesco for our food, my parents, and the in-laws. They ain’t doing no internet shop with possible swap outs and the like. So it’s our duty to triple shop ‘live, in store’ on a Thursday morning. The shopping is done early, minimal crowds, minimal fuss. By minimal fuss, I mean trying to decipher the hand writing of an 86 year old that can’t quite remember the name of that thing I have every other week, with the picture of a thing on it. And my parents that give instructions like, ‘could we have a birthday card for Elsie, but a nice one, and some of those biscuits, or maybe a bottle, what do you think?’ Or the usual classic, ‘no when I said raspberries, you knew I meant strawberries’. And everyone’s favourite, attempting to add to the list, after the shop! When packing away items, to be told ‘oh, and some cornflakes if you can’. Then going between the various houses, delivering, packing away, explaining again why we weren’t able to get a copy of the Mail for the 37th consecutive week. It’s a solid half day’s work. It is pure coincidence that today, a Thursday, I have not been able to work from home... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 When I go to the supermarkets on my todd, I like to look at, and find the most expensive honey. Manuka honey in Sainsbury's at £25 a jar is a usual jaw dropper. Whilst I would never buy it, I fantasise about just opening a jar and scooping it all out with my fingers and just trying it. Like... what's so special? I get cheap honey is mostly just refined sugar or whatever, but c'mon! Seen a few others for about £38, but never seen anything in store for more than £40. Caramel wafers are kept in the cake aisle, remember that - even though they're just two biscuits smashed together with caramel. Oh, and crème fraiche is in a different place to natural yogurt and they're both in a different place to sour creams - despite being all more or less exactly the same. I've had to be asked by several store workers "if I'm alright?" because seeing a 34 year old man who's obviously soiled himself and quietly sobbing is not something a toddler in a trolley should be subjected to on a Saturday afternoon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you get the "novelty sweet" bread bollocks like brioche with choco lumps of fart in it and whatever - but nah. I was very near tears/soiling stage, let me tell you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
