I also take my shoes off and walk around the office in my socks. I hate wearing shoes inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 D Aye, but my feet don't smell so there's no issue There is. You're at work?! Surely you're only a step away from cutting about in baffies?

That's at least 2 households that I know of that fly the flags of different countries in Dingwall. Bizarre place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I'd prefer someone cutting about in baffies over just their socks. At least it's some sort of footwear I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If clients didn't come to our office I'd definitely take my slippers in and wear them all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Danish law states that on Denmark day if you have a flagpole in your garden (which is very common over there) you have to fly a Danish flag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine the anarchy, if that was introduced over here. Now for something completely different... (Probably for a different thread) Anyway decent lassie in one of my classes that I've been chatting to for a while, didn;t have her on Facebook but had been walking with her back to our flats after class (we live fairly near each other). Anyway, today was the last tutorial we have for three weeks, so I was gonna ask her out. Unfortunately, I've had issues sleeping and did an all-nighter last night and the went to my 9am lecture before going to bed for a couple of hours. However, I slept from 10-45 until 4pm in bed and missed the class and didn't get to speak to the girl and I don't have any other classes with her for three weeks. In other words, I completely fucked that one up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 10 hours ago, jmothecat said: All four of my grandparents all had dementia, to differing extents, before they died. I just assumed it was what happened when you got old and that basically everyone got it, but judging by the reaction to the Billy McNeill news I'm guessing I've been wrong this whole time. My grandad had 3 strokes and a heart attack all between the age of 73 and 90, and pretty much lost the use of his right arm as a result but his brain was still sharp as it always was. My gran was the opposite, still charging about well into her late 80s, but had no clue who anyone was, to the extent that she thought my mum, her own daughter, was her grandmother. Dementia is an absolute b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 However upon closer inspection said price decrease isn't all that great; I got an email this morning saying my direct debit is going up by £8.25 per month, but being the absolute gems that British Gas are, I don't need to do anything about it and they'll contact my bank for me. Good guys. I live in a decent sized, modern flat, but pay the best part of a ton a month on gas and electricity. I do have the kids a few nights each week, but I'm out at work all week! I think I'm probably getting my pants pulled down here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it checked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Adam and DA - do you not have a float system where you pay a fixed rate each month based on an estimate of your consumption and then it goes up or down accordingly depending on your meter readings? We paid 80A month for a while which was far too much and then paid as little as 20 for a year then got a notification we were in the negative again so paid a little more. Don't think they just crank it up willy nilly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they just crank it up willy nilly. In my experience they massively overestimate, collect the interest and drop the bill later. If you read your own meter and let them know at the right time they wouldn't be able to do that though, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
