  1. Being stuck in an office when it's around 24 degrees outside. Not only is that annoying me but the office is full of posh stuck up Edinburgh folk and Fifers
  2. Any book by Stuart MacBride is a great read and highly recommended.
  3. Firefox continually crashing at the minute and having to use IE.
  4. Had my 4th interview in 4 years for the same government office on Wednesday afternoon. 4th letter received this morning with the same outcome - reserve list.
  5. Been down in the garden this afternoon cutting away at some overgrowth using some sharp shears. Gave up around an hour ago as it was too damn hot and now my hands are shaking madly.
  6. I've buggered up my e-mail Inbox at work and e-mails are simply now disappearing once I've read them. I've also lost every e-mail that was in there.
  7. Last book I read was Exit Music by Ian Rankin. Found it a bit of a disappointment tbh and not as good as previous Rebus books. Wasn't the usual "unable to put down" Rankin novel I'm used to reading. Currently reading Cold Granite by Stuart MacBride. It's the first novel he wrote and I'm really really enjoying it. I'd say it's probably better than his 3rd one which I've already read but can't remember the name of. I'm finding that I actually have to force myself to put it down.
  8. Contemplating whether to tell my boss I'm looking for a new job. Do I tell her so she knows or do I take sneaky days/half-days off for interviews therefore using up all my holidays??
  9. All HR depts' are full of not even as good as half-wits. The HR dept of a previous employer waited 2 months to return a reference request and I'm convinced they only returned it after I contacted the top man saying I wished to make a complaint.
  10. I assume you've already done the whole "turn it off then back on again" advice you tend to get??
  11. Mozilla Firefox Every time I'm on the Internet using Firefox, it seems to freeze then crash. Now having to use IE.
  12. I was trained in my job by two guys who are both younger than me. One by 7 years, the other by 10! While they were excellent with the training, now I'm doing the job properly they're both gettin on my tits with their immaturity. Everyday's getting harder to bear them.
  13. I paid a couple of hundred pounds into my bank account using one of those slips and vaults in the BoS in Polmont last Monday. One week later and the money still hasn't shown on my account Haven't had this problem with any other branch
  14. For four days now I have sat all afternoon with absolutely nothing to do. Don't like that at all. Feels like taking money for nothing (and not very good money at that )
  15. Discovering that if I'd had a bit of courage a few years back my life could have been so much different to the way it is now
  16. I refereed an u15 game on Saturday morning (2x40mins) then run a line in the Juniors in the afternoon. Thought I'd cramped up during the 2nd half in the afternoon. Two days later my left calf is still agony I can see a visit to the physio at training tomorrow night being required
  17. £5 treble on Notts Forest, MK Dons and QOS on my On-Line account. 2 of those came up and one game postponed. Anybody have any idea what happens with that?
  18. Have you tried Evans Halshaw near TFS? I'm sure I saw a sign there saying something along the lines of "Runarounds from £900". I could be wrong of course
  19. £4 treble on Villa, Airdrie and Motherwell returned just over £21. It's not much but better in my account than Billy Hills'.
  20. Found out today that the woman who owned the shop in Falkirk where I bought my lunch each day until August died at the beginning of January. She was only in her late 40's
