foreveryoung Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think it's all about the gardens at the moment. Coincidently, the Mrs called me today while I was at work and said the neighbour is having there garden done and she wanted me to ask the guys how much decking would be in to do in our garden. I said yes, I will do when I get home, until she told me what she wants done. Mrs wants the bottom of the garden decking under the trees, where you would never go? She ending up putting the phone down on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Just saw someone refer to Southgate as an "average player and even more average manager". What's more average than average? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Any body else on here can't let go of the past. Don't get me wrong, I'm all grown up now with a family, all good. But you just can't beat the nostalgia of the 90's, the boys holiday's, to Magaluf, Aiya Napa, the garage scene, Birmingham night clubs on the pull, Ritzy, Dome, central park, Stoodi Bakers, the music, Trip to Trumpton, On A ragga Tip, Warehouse Raves, my god those were the days, just a fantastic time to be growing up.

I don't think there is anything wrong with looking back. I sometimes look back to lads holiday photos and smile at the escapades we got up to. The best of times were had. Same with the nights out/clubbing every weekend in Brum. Happy Days. 90s / 00s were just great times. The World seemed more innocent then... wasn't completely **** and nasty as it is now... or that is my perception at least. Maybe it was the rose tinted bubble I was in! Even working was a laugh... was chatting about it to a work colleague the other day. The stuff we used to get up to in the office, we'd be disciplined now! nothing bad, just childish stuff and pranks. When did the world get so serious? All the fun has been sucked out of the workplace. I'm just glad i'm closer to the end of my working life then the beginning - want to be gone by 55 at the latest (13 years) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they owned the company but it wouldn't be like that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more of a fan of 80's German sports saloons like the E30 M3 and E28 M5 than hot French hatches but I can admire a R5 GT Turbo. Weigh no more than a cardboard box and goes like the proverbial off a shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Work email - i'm sure 75% is just rubbish. If someone had to write a letter to me or ring me up like they used to, I'm sure they wouldn't bother and they'd just get on with life. With email, they can, in seconds, cause me work that is probably not required or would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I know what you mean by the work pranks. I mean, imagine cable tying the Apprentice in a parts cage and jet washing him, you'd be in court the next week being sued by his parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid4ever Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 1990’s Friday afternoons in Docklands pre Canary Wharf, over to the pub at lunchtime and then cans of vodka and coke in the office for the rest of the day. Drinking at lunchtime probably frowned on now, and in those days it was the managers who started the coke can regime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see that again until three years ago when the executive restaurant at La Poste HQ had a sommelier on staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Good times are over. All the gammons who haven't needed to be in the office for a year to work suddenly need to be in the office to work it seems. M6 ****. Getting onto the M5 ****. Every erdington junction around Bromford ****. No sign of any crash anywhere! What are all you words removed doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
