That's a killer - especially when it's avoidable.

I've been eating below my maintenance calories and I still put on a pound. Grrrrm. Realising I have to give in and go on a diet. God I hate diets. *Downloads myfitnesspal in a rage*

Found a pristine copy of Herbie Hancock's Columbia albums box set on Ebay. Photos from the seller showed it in immaculate condition.

Arrived today. My heart sank when I saw the packaging he had used - brown paper and a thin layer of bubble wrap.

All corners dented and one side with a gouge mark.

Partial refund offered but he was genuinely surprised when I pointed out that the set didn't have a chance of arriving unscathed in such flimsy packaging. For a set like that the corners need to be doubly protected with bubble wrap wrapped very tightly and placed in a hard cardboard box so that it can't move around in transit.

I leant my friend my fav cd, after much reminding, she posted it back to me in a unpadded manilla envelope. :mad::mad::mad:

Thank you , it was like stripping wallpaper, the outer paper peeled off and there was still a thin layer of paper then the glue left !

Peddling drugs, most likely dude.

Aaah yes..E. and they don’t even know it.

What can you say.....

Compliments whose main purpose is to put down the person giving the compliment or to fish for a response. I can't even explain this properly.

Person A (lets call her Karen) says to me 'oh Molly you're so clever and so good at your job and they'd all be lost without you.'
I say 'oh cheers thanks, that's really nice'. Karen says 'I'm just so terrible compared to you, absolutely stupid, totally replaceable, I'm gonna be fired any day now. I don't know why I even bother'.

What do you say to someone like that? Does she want me to say 'oh no Karen you're great at your job too, and of course you're not stupid, come on now!'. Fs. I'm mentally exhausted from her sh1t before I even start the day.

I've two trivial annoyances at the moment.

Firstly, my right boot lace keeps becoming undone. I've tied it three or four times today already, and I can feel that it's undone again. One side is way longer than the other so maybe I should just re-lace it.

Secondly, on stupid 'Teams' there seems to be an unread message...except there's not. :mad:

I'll wait until I get home from work, assuming I'm not in a boot-lace-related fatal accident in the meantime. I've re-tied it. With gusto!

Have been looking forward to a few drinks tonight, but all of a sudden I'm feeling really tired and completely lacking in any energy at all.

An Americanism here. Hope it doesn't gain any momentum this side of pond.

A bint in America is referred to as a 'Karen'.

Completely unfair to Karens imo.

Majority are lovely people.

Knowing a sizeable no of ppl on the family whatsapp would be headed back to work this week, I put up a link for some back/shoulder exercises.
Got the usual 'why are talking about work and you're not a dr, with all the work I've done in x over the lock down Im strong as a horse, excuse me' type of comments.
All week the partners of same comedians have asked for the link again and if I could do a video of the exercises(?!) as they are being driven crazy with the moaning about work related sorenesses.

Ta, whatsapp opened another audience of comics in the family and that just cause its me, it must be wrong.

Bredabe

I asked someone if they wanted feedback on our work related interaction, I have a real issue on getting or giving feedback if its not needed or wanted.

Message tone went from frustrated businesslike to 'ah, go on then'(which as english is their 4th language, is a bit disconbulating) so now Im really no clearer if they actually want the feedback or not.

TA'd that toilets/water dispensers etc are out of commission in bookies

Plus side tho' is a lack of 'ethnics' congregating (thus far at least) :pac:

As far as I know, Bintje (sp?) is a Dutch variety of spuds.

TA spoilers in youtube thumbnails.


also TA takeaway related woes - justeat is acting the bollox recently and wont recognise my address suddenly despite never having this problem before.

So i went to a shall not be named takeaway's website to avail of online deals, one of which where you apparently can get two items for cheaper than usual.

Only once i add the deal to my basket and a fuucking 5 euro delivery charge plus service charge is tacked on, it ends up costing the same as it normally would for the two items, perhaps even more, rendering the 'deal' pointless.

what annoyed me is the random 5 euro charge that was never asked of me before and the takeaway is so nearby.
