We were working on the outside of an old ladies house one winter day and she came out and offered me an orange, I politely declined, then she asked my mate if he wanted one and he told her no thanks, it's too cold for an orange, so she asked if he wanted a half and his face lit up, 'I'll take a half' he said, so she told him to hang on til she goes and gets a knife.

Think I saw that film. Did they ever find your mate's body?

I deal with tradesmen simply. When they first arrive I ask if they need anything. If they say no magic. If they say yes then I get them it within reason, then say if you do need anything let me know, then they're left to get on with it.

If I'm getting work done at my house, I'll tend to hire a mate to do the work. They can help themselves to drinks etc and I'll usually get them something for their lunch. Always let them in, then get the f**k out of the house and let them get on with it.
Even mates, chances are they don't want to be there any longer than they need to be.

Folk that wear their usual work clothes in the office on dress down Fridays...not got a pair of jeans and a tshirt? Weirdos.

Today I am resplendent in jeans and a t-shirt with my boss sitting opposite me in a suit (hopefully thinking I am battering out E Mails to clients).

There could be some mitigating circumstances (i.e. Client meetings, board meetings) but most folk who do it are just weird. I don't get it, is it supposed to be impressive? That guy must be important, he even wears his white short sleeves shirt on a Friday..? So petty, really infuriating the more I think about it.

A few in my work do this who are middle management as if trying to look important, they just look like wankers because the higher up managers and directors usually come in dressed ready in golf gear ready to gtf at 12.

Pishy Red Shoes. Not to be confused with 90s soft porn series The Red Shoe Diaries. 

Or is it? 

David Duchovny has had some life. First, The Red Shoe Diaries, then Californication. 

I'll accept pishy red shoes.
