What is hacking you off today?

[SonicShrimper]

That's a terrifying thought...

Metaphorically Pops!

Just a moment of madness was it?

Ha! I was on the way back from a late night gig to a place we were renting for the summer in Clapham.

You know what Vauxhall stands for don't you?

Fix It Again Tony

I thought it was Lots Of Trouble Usually Shane.

You know how you're having a **** day and one of your mates is having a great one? And you're really ****ed but kinda happy for them because they deserve having a good day but you're still ****ed so you end up just ignoring them because you don't want to be a dick about it? Yeah, that's my day.

Also, this gaming charity livestream I'm watching doesn't have much gaming in it. None, in fact. At all.

GG YOGSCAST! Ya bellends...

David Cameron in professionally sincere mode telling me "Because it's the right thing to do". Doesn't he have another stock phrase cos I'm sick of hearing that one.

 

[SonicShrimper]

"Call me Dave".

I prefer Richard, myself...

Just discovered that the wallpaper in my lounge and dining room is exactly the same as the wallpaper in the ladies toilets in The Queen Vic.

It's even inside the traps for Christ's sake.

Blooming cyclists, dressed in black, no lights, on the pavements riding at speed.
Blooming cars rushing through zebra crossings without giving any precedent to pedestrians.

25% of my department being laid off.......

There are lots of nervous faces.

I really feel for you and your department , but why is it always before Christmas that they lay human beings off .

Staffers or contractors?

Probably because they don't want to pay bonuses 8n January.

I am a contractor so cut my cloth with the knowledge that I could be given the elbow at any time.
It would be inconvenient but manageable.

Let's hope for the best...

As for me, it's my train in the mornings. A few months ago I would get this train, and have a choice of about 1/2 the seats on the carriage. I often meet up with friends and we would all be able to sit together. Nowadays I'm lucky to get a seat at all, and if I bump into friends there's zero chance of finding 2-3 seats together.

I know trains are becoming more popular, but I don't understand how this could have happened in the space of a few months.

Could it be that your witty banter has been heard by the good train traveling folk and they all want a piece of the action.

Spilling half a cup of soup over my desk. :angry:

Fortunately our lovely cleaner assisted, despite me being the butt of some very sexist comments :smile:

I blame the weather GHG. Mild, damp and windy when I would want cold, frosts and crisp days/nights to "kill" of the bugs.
Four years ago we had all that snow and I don't recall there being all the head colds that there are at the moment - especially on trains.

Yeah, you're spot on about the weather, far too mild for this time of year. Need a bloody good cold snap to sort us out.
