sidcow Posted March 22 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22 (edited) I fondly remember walking to my local newsagents and ordering a quarter of my favourite sweets. Not sure why we weren't allowed the whole amount. Edited March 22 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted March 22 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22 I was disappointed when I discovered that the American game I'd seen on TV and was for hardcore drinkers, namely Edward 40 hands. Only involved drinking 4 pints of average (for the UK) strength beer (5%+). There's probably 12 year olds in the UK who could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) I don't mind cups for baking, it's really quick to scoop a cup of flour, water, etc, quicker than weighing. It's when it gets used for solids of varying sizes that annoys me. A cup of broccoli?! Edited March 22 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 We have a football pitch rented for our company once a week for an hour and a half. It's a 5 a side pitch, so with 1 sub, we play max 12 people every week. I'll be honest, there's limited actual interest from our employees, so we end up playing 10/12 people each week from shared friend pools. In order to extend the contract, we needed to get people from within the company to click a link saying they would be interested in playing. We asked some colleagues and ended up with 16 people saying they would play, which we thought would be good. We find out we're not getting the contract extended, due to 'limited interest'. Tbh it's fair, it's not a company game at all anymore. But their reasoning is that 16 people is 6% of the company which isn't enough people. What do they want? 20% or like 50 people to turn up every week? 2 mins per person? This is the definition of the thread title for me. Right outcome, ridiculous reasoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so, but within the social fund committee who pick the funding; I know the girl doing the checking and I am 99.99% sure she has no idea.
