The Buff going for £20M (lol) won't cover half of it. Who is in the financial shit? Sevco? I'm counting on it. Celtic? That would be a bonus. And who is the Buff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful experience, will not buy again unless they switch it back. #f***thewhales #notpetty some of us old cnuts had no choice in childhood- I'm sure McDonald's only did paper straws back then. I can certainly remember trying to sook a milkshake through a paper straw to no great effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the straw was metal. That's a slippery slope to buying mushroom suppers. And then I shall have to call the police. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the logic is paper straws are made from trees which can be regrown whereas plastic comes from a finite source, so they're not as environmentally unfriendly albeit very consumer unfriendly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Went into work tonight and was told there would be drug and alcohol tests. It's been the same woman for the last couple of years who usually gets called in about once a month to perform them but one of the other workers has been seeing her for a while and he told me she'd recently packed the job in so I knew it was going to be someone else. First thing the new tester asked when I got in the room was to see my driving licence but for the second night on the bounce I've left my wallet in the house. - "I've left it at home but I can get you a copy from the office" - *Dramatic hand to the forehead and a weird spin around on the spot from drug lady* "WHAT? You're a truck driver! Why don't you have your licence?" (It's illegal to drive in Australia without your licence on you). - "I just told you I left it in the house". - "I can't send you out without your driver licence. You'll have to go home and get it". By now I'm a but pissed off with her tone and histrionics. - "What's it got to do with you? You're just here to do the drugs tests". - "I'm your logistics manager". Brilliant. She started a few weeks back when I was back in Scotland and this was the first I got to meet her. Not the best start to our working relationship and I could tell she wasn't impressed with the back chat but nae luck - act like a dick, get spoken to like a dick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
