Thanks GD, very true. I'll just make sure that next time it needs filled up that the wife needs to do it.

In honesty the same thing happened to me twice in the last couple of weeks at the same pay-at-the-pump pump at ASDA.  Got fed up after £40 both times.

Unfortunately my wife doesn’t drive so I can’t go with your ploy.  :lol:

I've got another Christmas party Saturday night with some Scots and Irish and as much as I'm looking forward to it, the fear is on big time. I just know on Sunday I'll be completely dead and feel awful.

So not British then?

No. Unless you should think Eire is under occupation still?
Go home British soldiers. And Granny.

 

You do realise that “Irish” also applies to folk from NI?

I would refer to such folk as Irish (just as I would refer to Scots as ‘Scots’) but given your past form I assumed anyone from NI and Scotland would be ‘British’ in your eyes, you Tory voting, multi-lingual, imperialist scumbag.

This is one of my current PTTGOYN, cash machines.
Options are CASH WITH RECEIPT or CASH WITHOUT RECEIPT, and even if you choose without receipt it does repeatedly ask if you want a receipt is if the machine knows better.
 
Only surpassed by the idiot humans that request a receipt and then walk away with the receipt hanging out the machine as litter,
 
 


The bank machine owner charges your bank for providing you with a cash withdrawal. They can charge a bit more if they provide you with other services

That’s why machines seem keen to show your balance and print statements

I will take your word that theses rates for mail order brides are accurate; it doesn’t surprise me that you know them.

Married life over the last 41 years would have been easier if my wife was a driver.

Putting petrol in the car last night and it took about 20 minutes. Every time I put any significant pressure on the nozzle (steady!) it clicked off so had to ease off and as a result probably only getting a couple of drops into the tank at a time. What is causing this?

I’ve had two day binges the last two weekends, another night out tomorrow and I think I know what’s coming...I’m not looking forward to it.

At the risk of sounding miserly, there is a collection for the janitors and cleaners at my work. 
Get that right to f**k.

Has there been some sort janitor/cleaner incident? How condescending.
“Right, jannies, cleaners, we know you earn f**k all so us people with real jobs have put some of our real money together so you can buy some of whatever it is you kind of people like around this time if year. You are very welcome”.

No incident. It happens every year.

It's to 'thank them for their 'support'. They don't any more or any less hard than anyone else.

I’m poorest paid in my team, I’d be mortified if they had a whip round for me.
I’d accept it and spend it on bevy but I’d honestly want the ground to swallow me up.

Aye it's only slight less patronising and condescending that wrapping up a mop and bucket and giving it them as a present
