monkeyblair Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Being out voted 3-1 as to what kids film to go and see yesterday. I wanted to see Ice Age 4, they wanted to see The Lorax. It was pish! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I was watching a cooking show earlier the scene changed to a farm which bred ducks. The farmer was asked, 'how long do they get before they get to the plate' He replied, 'we like to let them live half their lives at least' No dumb ass, that would be their whole life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Assuming that you are not exaggerating, that is a serious problem. Do something like that at the wrong time of year and you can be in real trouble. I can remember some young wifey around the Auchterarder area (I think) doing this and freezing to death a number of years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodside Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 This. I was in Morrisons last week and spent ages trying to find some jam for a sandwich at work. Searched the two aisles with all the chutney, Branston pickle, soup, sauces etc, couldn't find them. Eventually asked a member of staff where it was and even he was stumped. Turns out it was sandwiched (pardon the pun) between the frozen foods and nappy / bog roll sections at the far end of the store (jarred pickles etc being one of the closest). There's almost a full-time industry employed just to design supermarket layouts. All the major supermarkets pay a lot of money looking into this. I'd guess the reason for my jam example is probably making folk like me think it's in one of the closest aisles where I'd expect it and then making me scour every aisle, seeing almost every product by the time I get there. Bread and milk always seem to be at near-opposite ends, probably for the same reason. I jumped into a morrisons in a hurry the other day and they had completely moved absolutely everything since the last time I was in! Nightmare! Im sure i read milk and bread are always at the very back of supermarkets for this exact reason so you have to go by everything else to get to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Trying to organise a week off work in October to be told that someone already needs that week off even though they've not marked it down. The way my work organises holidays is the longest serving get the first pick (not exactly fair but that's how they do it. Now I'm the longest serving member of staff in there yet they're being dicks about it and saying they'll get back to me when they've decided what they'll do. Dicks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I was under the impression that legally businesses are no longer allowed to give preferential treatment based on length of service, as it's a form of age discrimination. I'm certain that line was trotted out by my work when they were issuing new shifts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place I work is fucking clueless when it comes to employment law. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 On TV shows and in films when people are playing computer games they always smash the buttons repeatedly, flick the D-stick all over the place and even move the whole pad itself all over the place. If you played games like that, any game, you wouldn't get far. If it was Halo for example then you'd just be running in circles, firing intermitandly, jumping, using your weapon as a club, blowing yourself up with grenades and changing what grenade and weapon you were using. This irritates me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain that line was trotted out by my work when they were issuing new shifts. What about loyalty schemes? My work has decided to come out with a reward scheme where you get £100 after five years service, £200 after ten etc. Technically you're giving them preferential status by paying them more? As an aside, the whole thing's a complete waste of time but I'll take my £100 quite happily. I was planning on moving to Shell or BP with a potential salary rise of up to 10k but now that they say that I'll get another £100 if I stay another 5 years, then I'll stay for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffcsam Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 3 customer services . I had a rant about them last week and up until 5 mins ago, they were still hopeless at sorting my phone issue. Eventually phoned the 3shop in Stirling and spoke to a guy who solved the issue in 5 mins. Basically he said just bring the mobile in and they would replace it. Why has it took so long to get this service? Grrrr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 That's my mechanic had my car in his garage for 2weeks now, engine been stripped down and built back up 3 times that I know of and it still sounds like a bag of shite. Still, I ain't paying a penny for his experimentation, but I'm getting mighty pissed off having to walk up and down to work each day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Why do junkies always ask for 20p? Why is it never 50p or a quid? "can I have 20p for ma bus fare intae Paisley mate?", erm sorry pal but you are gonna need more than 20p to get from Glasgow city centre into Paisley. Remember one time a junkie asked me the above question and I offered him my all day ticket which I no longer needed so he could get the no. 9 bus to Paisley, he called me a w****r and walked off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
