no one would watch it if it wasn't from the USA!

I don’t agree with this, not in my case anyway.
I only got into the game since moving to Vancouver where both Canadian and American football codes are shown in pubs and on regular TV. I never watched it before that but now I’m a fan.

The whole small talk and have to say hello culture in the workplace.y s

I don't want to say the mandatory hello. Im not in a good mood and I don't want to be here. I share little or nothing in common with you and you make me slightly uncomfortable and nervous. I wish you no ill will. Its not personal. I just want to fade myself out mentally as much as possible for the next 8 hours. As a kind of anaesthetic.

Why must we exchange false pleasantries. It doesn't help. It only serves to make the day feel longer.

I have actually been called up on this at work- basically not being friendly enough. I am friendly polite and courteous. That's it.

I get the job done. No I don't stand around making small talk and generally engaging in 'banter'.

I am the busiest and highest fee generator here- that does not happen by sitting around talking ****e. I don't give a **** about the personal lives of the support staff and I don't expect them to give a **** about mine.

You engage in small talk for at least a couple of hours every day and then complain that you are still at work until 7 and at weekends. Go figure.

I use toilet paper. A dish brush sounds painful

My sincerest apologies, I never realized. This just goes to show that on the internet, nobody knows you're a toilet.

Twice recently the toilet brush has had to be used as a poo breaker for some multi-flush stubborn bastards. In work.

Its not that the logs themselves were prize winners. 💩
It was because I cover the seat with paper triangle, plus a knob guard, plus a landing pad.

All necessary because of the savages in work.
Just thought you should know that.

Tl;dr the toilet brush is an emergency device, and saves time when you have return to work. Means you don't have to wait on the cistern refilling.

The back of a dish brush usually has a hard edge. Even better than a "toilet" brush.

The clamour for "diversity" in awards categories.
Prince William was on about it at the BAFTAs last night.

Now I'm not familiar with the categories but is there any obvious ommissions that should have been there? Or can we assume the best of the category was nominated regardless of their profile?

I dunno about anyone else but how many female black directors are out there. It then become tokenism. Surely we should live in a meritocracy.

Especially in Ireland, someone bitten by a poisonous snake would be be left lying on a gurney for a few hours.

Yeah I do get that and it is important so I leave it to others plus I am in a separate part of the building so a somewhat isolated so don't see everyone else too often.

Exhibitionism

I don't care if you are whatever it's not my business to know or care and by telling me about it you are forcing me to be included, **** off with whatever you do in your own private time be that lifestyle or sexualities or giving to charity or whatever I don't want to know about any of it.

If wanting to be recognised for what you chose to do is your point of life I feel very little about you and what you are as the old saying goes I don't want to know you or what you do.

Seems to be an attention seeking trend now. Some well known straight actress breaks up with her well known boyfriend and the next thing you know they've tipped off the paparazzi to meet them on a beach to take pictures of them half naked in a skimpy bikini kissing some girl. Actresses, models, whatever, who cares who is kissing/sleeping with who? As long as it doesn't involve animals or kids I don't care.

Eastender.

Why in God's name do Irish people watch a soap about east London working class troglodytes?

I love the way in soaps generally the very few educated professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants, business leaders) that turn up every now and then are invariably always evil psychos.

But you can always rely on good ol Jimmy the mechanic- salt of the earth.
