The show is actually one of the few gameshows that I think is actually decent. The Chasers are all basically the Simon Cowell's of the gameshow world. They know everything and are really mean to the contestants. They're brilliant.

Agreed. Also the Youtube stuff of Bradley Walsh cracking up at certain questions is TV gold :pac:

Sully and Necro in

Clock Monsters! Sully is a rookie monster who is new to the beat and he must team up with an annoying talking clock sidekick named Necro.

This is the show, Bradley asks the questions, and chaser (anne the governess) and the contestant must try answer the question correctly. If contestant is always right, they can never be caught.

This is typical example clip of the show.

So, a bit like Eggheads, competing against brain-boxes?

I would defo call the company on that lunatic. Give the time and location and see if they can be traced.

Well done QB on the job. I didn't get the one I interviewed for yesterday. Their loss though :P

Thanks for the well wishes folks.

Aw, hard luck. There'll be others though, I'm sure.

Happy Monday everyone. Anyone else starting the week wondering if it's time to start looking for jobs elsewhere?

Baggly · 26-11-2018 11:03AM

What kind of work do you do Fixxxer?

quickbeam · 26-11-2018 11:05AM

A very happy Monday here. Gonna pick and choose a few classes to go to in my last few days and get loads of reading done in between.

Awww

Fixed contract is it sully?

fixXxer · 26-11-2018 11:21AM

Working in a Hospital, have been in the same one the last 12 years. I used to be a lab aid in the micro lab, which was interesting had responsibility but paid peanuts. I moved to admin in the radiology dept. a couple of years ago to get paid more.

It's been mostly grand but in the last 6 months staff have been leaving and not been replaced. A fair few of the old reliable heads have been let move on, even though they'd rather have stayed. Staff training and placements have been bizarre with people in places they've not been in before or with the barest training. Also there's the constant stress of waiting lists and more people needing to be scanned than we can cope with. Management doesn't seem at all interested in sorting out any of our issues, despite there being a good core here who want to do the best we can.

I dunno, demoralized I guess.

Whats the micro lab?

Sorry to hear that Fixy. Its really hard to hear stories from people on the ground that get held up on bureacracy!

fixXxer · 26-11-2018 11:47AM

Microbiology Lab. Where your wee and poo samples get sent when you're sick

Poop and tissue. Sometimes they crawled out.

Now that is an image I DID NOT NEED coming up to lunchtime. Boke.

I actually quite enjoy my job. It's definitely interesting and I get to satisfy my bossiness and nosiness personality traits with it. FYI I work in entertainment licensing so remember those few years back when Garth Brooks didn't get the 'Licence' for all his dates in Croke Park? The ones who refused his licence would be the equivalent of me in Belfast.

We call ourselves the fun police. Any bar or hole in the wall who provides live entertainment needs a licence from us. It also means we licence all the big outdoor events in the city which is kinda cool.

Well it took a considerable amount of cash and three trips to the dentist but finally my troublesome tooth has been removed.

Sitting here in the waiting room with no feeling in my mouth but very happy regardless.

Fcuk you bastard tooth!
