You talk for a living, try figuring out how to fucking do it.

It took me a second reading to realise you weren't upset at calling a fucking dog a "patient".

I am, in case it wasn't immediately obvious.

If you're going to criticise others' grammar, you'd be advised to desist from splitting the infinitive. Just saying.

I see your point, but Miguel doesn't talk for a living, I think that was the point of his post.

I've got another eggheads related one. 

When the contestant is given the 3 choice answer. Jez asks the question & contestant goes thru what are not the answers before going for the correct answer. If I was Jez I'd take what they say first & give them a red ex. 

Aaaarggghhh, Jez scream at them I asked what the answer is, not what it is not!!!

Our washing machine finally died at the end of last week, and I've spent the last few days trying to troubleshoot the problem and/or get a call-out at a reasonable price. I'd forgotten how quickly the dirty laundry stacks up, so I'll probably be wearing a bedsheet toga by the time the new one arrives on Friday.

Just been through the same caper a fortnight ago. Didn't actually realise how much washing gets done in our house and the chaos not having a working washing machine causes. Got a new machine last week though thankfully emoji106.png

 

Me too,  and my mate at work. It's an epidemic...that's not a type of washing machine. I think the world is about to end as the machines begin to rebel.

Last year when ours broke we took two massive black bags of washing down to the laundrette and it came back dry, folded and uncreased in otherwise better than our usual washing for around 20 quid. Was tempted to stick with that going forward tbh.

Business speak thread for this pish.

Stopping people doing business speak is like trying to nail jelly to the ceiling. We really need the mods to put a stop to it otherwise we'll get ourselves into an "I'm Spartacus" situation and we risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
