It's like asking for a 2440mm x 1220mm sheet instead of an 8 by 4. You obviously don't know what size A4 is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky if you get more than two bites out of them... Family-size bags of crisps (or whatever) which say 'Contains 5 servings'. Piss off, I'll decide how many crisps I want to eat. (Yes, I'm a fat b*****d.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse is when you arrive first thing in the morning and the night shift person who was using your computer has left the remains of their dinner all over the table and crumbs in the keyboard. Luckily where I work there is no night shift and no 'hot-desking', i.e. we all have our own allocated desks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Moving the goalposts. Though the building industry is absolutely the worst for overlapping, contradictory, multiple terminology. The amount of different terms for the same thing, depending on where you're from, how old you are and where you trained are mind-boggling. The railway's pretty bad for that too. On a daily basis you have to swap between distances given in miles, metres, yards, chains, feet or SLUs . Depending on what yard you're in or the age/experience of the shunter you're working with you could be talked back in metres , yards , feet , megas, euros , twins , platforms, wagons ..... Pretty confusing at times ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst part will be the excuse. Probably message to say his mum/gran/wife died or his machine broke down.

You might still need a bit of elbow grease for really stained bits, but it removes most stuff. Remember to buy the cleaning fluid as well. How much did he quote? It's less than £30 including chemicals, dead easy to use. You order the machine online and pick it up at the supermarket where you buy the chemicals separately. The basic cleaning liquid should do, they try and sell you specialist stuff that I don't think does much. Get a decent size bottle though and consider hiring it for 2 days for another fiver in case you decide to give it another go when it dries out.

Mark Connolly Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 That Stormzy "Blinded by your Grace" song is a pile of shite, but seems to be on all the time. It's one of those songs people think they are supposed to like because it's by an artist they are supposed to like, but no-one will admit is fucking dreadful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Absolute scumbag bought an item from me off eBay this week, and has decided he doesn't want it (fair enough), but says he's not posting it back because it would cost him too much. He's going to call the eBay police on me if I don't give his money back to him sharpish. I've known plenty of folk who've had buyers like this, but seriously, does it ever work? Just off the phone with one of one of eBay's customer service wonks, whose response can be summed up as "lolzers", followed by, "please don't give this person any money". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 All this talk about dog shite up trees, I remember one day on the down to the shops on lunchtime from school we saw what seemed to be the remains of a dead Alsatian in a bin bag hanging from a tree. I do apologise for the slightly tenuous link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
