Twenty years older than you, and couldn't give a flying you know what. As you say, it's manufactured.

EB? So sad to hear that! She was witty, articulate and informative - all of the good things, and had a way with words I could only be jealous of. Hopefully she’ll come back again soon

The only EB I know is in prison, not closer account...
TA that I'm out of the loop ..serves me right for leaving for months on end

Ta, The rain's back here, guess it ensures a lush spring when the sun really kicks in.

TA how hard black appliances are to clean to a shine.

Never actually had a Valentine's ever pushing 40.
With somebody a few months who has told me he doesn't do Valentines..
So no valentines this year either

Oh well!

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 14-02-2020 10:04am

Found out last night that I get paid fortnightly. I never even thought to ask when I started the job.

TA that I didn't ask. Now I have to reorganise my budgets for the next 3 weeks.

Harleen Quinzel · 14-02-2020 10:45am

Gutted about eb, she has a way with words that I’ll miss tremendously.

I have no tea OR coffee.

The chances of me surviving this day unscathed just plummeted :eek:

You might be in trouble for that one, D. From what I can gather you can’t mention that poster as it’s against the “rules”.

A mod should be along in jig time to “erase” the reference.

I’m fairly confident it’s ok for me to “quote” your post but it’s still unclear as to whether I can, within the site rules, quote an earlier one. As was, it would seem, this is what caused that, particular, poster to leave in the first place but the “offending” posts were removed incredibly quickly.

Still all seems very strange.

When someone in a lecture thinks it's their duty to ask constant questions, jump ahead of the lecturer and generally give the lecture. Shut up shut up shut up. Its after 9pm and I have not paid good money to hear you sh#te on...

So ****ing annoying. Had that on a course I did a few years ago. Two people who liked nothing better than the sound of their own voices. Worse still, we had one tutor who was apparently glad to let them take over. Sure if I wanted to listen to sh1te talk, I could do that anywhere and wouldn't have paid good money to do so. :rolleyes:

The last two times he’s come up posts have been deleted, warnings have been given and threads have been “locked”.

Sadly, and strangely, no explanation has been forthcoming.

This one is particularly irksome. She seems to have an agenda about women's issues. I mean, we are all feminists in this day and age, in terms of the pursuit of equality etc. but with her, you just know she is waiting to take offence at everything "sexist" and jump on the bandwagon. She has already managed to steer the course (which is completely unrelated to social issues anyway!) towards contraception, equal pay and the abortion referendum - like, how does she even do it? We don't come to class to debate these things! And she is just sitting there like a barb waiting to shoe in her tuppence worth. I'd say she is the kind that thinks all men are potential rapists etc. Eugh

Antares35 · 14-02-2020 1:52pm

OH has given me his cold. Except when he had it, it was "flu". When I get it, it's a "cold". :mad:

Making a batch of quorn surprise and have half a box of tomato passata,
if I open a new box I'll have some left over again and will have to open a 2nd new box to use this one up(as its the only thing I use it for).

Never ending cycles of passata.

Been busy on a friday afternoon. Dont people understand that this is when we should be easing ourselves in to the weekend?

That said - here I am on boards while supposed to be busy...

And insert their fare one coin at a time, looking up at the driver for f*cking approval in between each one! :mad:

If I wanted bottled/spring/mineral water, I'd have asked for it!

Standing in the rain behind a queue of students who all have to give the bus driver their individual discount codes. Jesus, can they not just link some kind of card or something that can just be tapped or swiped?

Guy on the bus this morning who got on and saw there were no seats downstairs. Didn't bother either going upstairs to check there or go down the bus but stood at the white line beside the driver.
Big guy with a bag so anyone getting on or off had to squeeze past him.
Anyone coming downstairs to get off assumed he was getting off too until they realised he was just standing there.

iamstop · 14-02-2020 5:09pm

Dry lips and tiredness.

Every yawn opens the split again. Very annoying and damn near impossible not to yawn.

Princess Calla · 14-02-2020 5:10pm

Waiting on an intercom buzzer door to open.

Guy at front of the queue is in his own lil world.

Door buzzes, he's in dreamland, realises the door has buzzed too late.

Have to wait again on the intercom to be answered.

Not like its baltic or anything!

It's getting very attention seeking and childish.

If you need to take a break take a break.

However I'd say 90% are still lurking to see if anyone is missing them and what's being said.

They'll then re-reg, rinse and repeat.

It's getting very tedious.

NewbridgeIR · 14-02-2020 5:52pm

In the mornings when you walk past your place of work (I do because there is a nice coffee shop 50 yards beyond the work gate) - and you meet a colleague coming in the opposite direction (on their way to work) who invariably quips “you’re going the wrong way! Work is that way!”

And thinks they’re hilarious

Pricks

My lazy waster housemates let the rubbish pile up in the house after I stopped being the only lackey to put out the bins. mike will do it every week sure is the assumption :rolleyes: So I stopped.

I came home to see a black bin that was in the kitchen was gone. Oh great I thought, maybe they have copped on and put the bag outside in the wheelie bin.

I found the black bag in the basement. Honestly it would have taken less effort to walk 10 paces out the front door to the wheelie bin than to carry a bin bag downstairs to the basement! We are going to turn into one of those TV shows where a hoarder person dies

I don't understand how people who wear suits to work, work in great jobs and look much more smartly dressed than me live like this. They are "working professionals", have better clothes than me and carry briefcases and live like utter slobs.

Landlady contacted and she said she would issue warnings

I'm going to take issue with this

I'm doing it since before it was hip....
I just do it as my usernames are normally double entendres and give people a little laugh.
Also, I've been here approx 12 years and there's no way I could stick the same username for that length of time

Redneck Reject71 · 14-02-2020 7:51pm

I didn't close mine for attention, I had to tend to matters back in Mexico and didn't know how long I would be gone. So instead of having my original account just floating, I closed it.But re-reged with the same name I used only with a number, when I did come back.

I did say 90 %

You and redneck obviously fall into the 10%

MiliMe · 14-02-2020 8:20pm

More than a trivial annoyance but i cracked my phone screen. To be fair ive had it over 3 years sello I've probably done well to get this fast woth it.
