The Naitch Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If they win it, do they host it the following year? No, it'll be hosted in a European city but they would be invited back to defend their title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Australia are to compete in Eurovision, the f**k? I moved to the other side of the World to get away from this fucking shit Apparently it's growing in popularity in the States too... Be nice if the Aussies did something a bit different to the usual bland Europop that plagues the competition. Although I'm guessing a "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" style humiliation is likely, complete with cork hats and guest appearance from Crocodile Dundee. I do love me some Eurovision 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Take it Rolf Harris won't be in the running. He's doing a cover of Jailhouse Rock. Number forty-seven said to number three "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see I sure would be delighted with your company Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me In the words of Otis Lee Crenshaw 'if you ever heard these words in prison you know you're fucked' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Isn't there a manager with enough sense to tell her to bolt and stop distracting others? That used to be a big thing in our place, burds on maternity leave coming in and doing the rounds with their spawn, normally the same few doing it on a monthly or so basis. The women tended to gather round in groups telling the mother a. it had her eyes and b. it was lovely, and the guys kept their heads down and tried to avoid eye contact, lest they be forced to tell the truth that the thing looked like Winston Churchill, a process which normally seemed to take a full afternoon. Management can be dicks, but they came up with a belter to stop this – any proposed visit would need to be preceded by a full H&S assessment, which would require a preparatory visit by mummy to fill in shedloads of paperwork. Stopped overnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always someone) Bonus points if Daddy is present at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I shared an office with a wumman who brought hers in the day after she came home from the hospital. She couldn't grasp that a typical office was a hotbed of germs and lurgies and that her bairn had no immunity worth speaking of at that stage. It was February so probably 2/3 of the people there were fighting off colds, yet it was more important that she show the thing off and receive the fawning attention she craved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) A guy in our place came out with a cracking comeback one time when a group of wifies were giving him a hard time for not showing the required level of interest in the latest littlest visitor, along the lines of: "You're showing me something that happened as the end result of a natural process, that's the same as every other one. How's about the next time I go for a shite, I stick it in a box and bring it round your desks to make noises at?"

philpy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's almost like these customers might have jobs to do at other times! I know gaz, it just gets a bit nippy. All the managers at the other branches (and ours) have asked head office to consider shutting for an hour at lunchtime, but they won't agree to it. Mind you, the bosses are dundonians... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Also, a few of the customers wouldn't come in at the time if they had the choice, but if their bosses tell them go for materials, then they've got to follow orders I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
