I can't for the life of me stay warm at the moment. I ordered an electric blanket and it was supposed to come yesterday but no sign of it yet. Why am I so cold!.

TA'd at the low expectations of my smartwatch. I opened a box that was delivered and it congratulated me on my workout.

Was this the box? In which case your watch might've had a point.

The stupid man that cuts the grass here keeps wrecking my flowerpots with the strimmer. He's shredded dozens of them, often damaging the plants, too. Does my head in. :mad: Would it kill him to watch what he was doing?

Can you get those little wire fency bedding surround things.... They are about 8 inches tall.... The top of them is like an m on repeat.... Or maybe a small little wooden one.

I know you shouldn't have to do it, but he won't be slow about opening his eyed when the strimmer cord breaks and he has to fix it

New Home · 10-07-2020 11:34pm

I was thinking of getting strips of galvanised steel around the pots. I'm not sure what kind of strimmer he uses, but those should take care of even a bladed one.

Make sure you have 'Auto Rotate' enabled, screen should flip so you can ready normally, just in widescreen, like a mini tv. It will also ensure you don't take photos in portrait mode, which is slightly more than a TA for me.

Install a mini electric fence, but don't tell him it's electric. He'll learn quick.

TA'd that I'm working next weekend and Ghost of Tsushima is out on Friday...

Up at 2am, 5am and 8am with the gremlin. OH "didn't hear her" apparently. When I mentioned the unfairness of the shift over coffee at 9 30 am, he says "sure go to bed now, I'll mind her". It's a bit pointless now doing the big guy! TA I'd love to hop into bed for a few hours now but I can't on principle because I've done the whole "it's a bit late now" charade. Damn...:(

Fruit and veg wrapped in plastic (and sometimes in plastic trays too) when we are trying to move away from things like that. If only fruit and veg had its own naturally occurring protective packaging...

Ted_YNWA · 11-07-2020 11:32am

TA at overhearing snippets of conversations.

Man walking past saying to friend .

"That's the first time I've done that"

Going by tone it wasn't something positive.
It is going to annoy me for the day wondering what it was.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 11-07-2020 11:49am

Ordered a package 2 days ago, knowing that it would arrive today, and according to the tracking it's in my local post office since 10:45am.

TA that this is one of the rarest occasions that the postman is really late, and I'm even more irritated at the idea that he might not show up, and might be Monday when he comes, in which case I won't be home, and he'll probably bring it back to the depot (because it's a large parcel) because I wasn't home, and there is nowhere for me to tell him to leave it without someone robbing it, and I won't have time to go to the post office to collect it until my next day off, which won't be until 7 days.

And I have no friends or family living in this town, it's just me and my partner, who works 12-hour shifts, so there is nobody to pick it up for me.

I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew it wasn't gonna come today.

New Home · 11-07-2020 11:52am

Would you ring or go to the local post office and ask them?

For some reason unknown to me, I've randomly got Meghan Traynors "It's all about that bass" stuck in my head. What a vile state to be in

Mollyb60 · 11-07-2020 2:19pm

Started the drive over to the Belfast Ikea this morning to pick up a click and collect order that was due for collection today. Husband pointed out that I hadn't got the confirmation email that the order was ready to pick up so I turned around and came home. Still no email. If they ask me to go collect it tomorrow or Monday they can **** right off. I'm not leaving the house past 4pm today. I ordered it to be picked up today for a reason!

Badly Drunk Boy · 11-07-2020 5:43pm

There's something that has been annoying me for ages, and it's people (usually men, but not necessarily) saying "She's a bit dipsy!".

No, she's ditzy (or ditsy).

She may be a 'dipso', causing her to be ditsy. And the 'dipso' comes from the Greek word for ' I thirst'. (I didn't learn Koiné Greek for 3 years without being able to use it! (25 years later.))

Wallpaper paste, sweet suffering jaysus, it will not come off the wall.

I have steamed and scrapped, washed down with hot water, washing up liquid and bicarbonate of soda (a tip from the Internet) and still as tacky as fcuk.....

I used a sponge and plain cold water, let it soak, then use a scraper. Horrible slimy mess. I'm never using wallpaper again.

I'll give that a shot.

I've never had such an awkward time of stripping paper. A wash after the paper comes off has always been enough.... They must have mixed super glue into the batch too

I'm watching Season 2 of the documentary "Roman Empire" on Netflix. This one is about Julius Caesar, who apparently was very keen on becoming "Console". :rolleyes: The position was, we're told, effectively the CEO of the Roman Republic, but the writers fail to mention that there were always two Consuls, so that each would act as brake on the ambition or excesses of the other.

Why do history porgrammes so often fail to get even the basics right?

Working from home with no fixed start time so I decide its a miserable morning and another half an hour in bed would suit me just fine.
Then a truck driver pulling a 45 foot trailer decides to stop right outside my house leaving his engine running for several minutes while he looked for directions, made cab cider, or whatever it is these guys do.
Plan ruined.

New colleagues who think they have the right to be passive aggressive. "As per my previous email". "Again, as mentioned in the training session.."

Love, you're here three weeks. You haven't earned the right to be an arsehole. It's probably not a good idea to f*ck off people that have been around the company block and have worked with the past three people that sat in your role before you came along.

I have clients who have to travel all over using the bus, many going to clinics and hosp appoints.

Can I get clarity from the transport companies on what their policy is when ppl have medical reasons for not wearing a mask and what they can expect from transport staff when they are asked about it?

I get the same attachment mentioning exemptions but not how they are expected to prove that or if they can be refused entry to the train! All 6 transport co's involved refusing me clarity on this and time is running out.

Bredabe · 13-07-2020 2:30pm

Surely a letter from their GP stating they can't wear a mask on medical grounds would suffice?
