AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Went to the missus's to celebrate her wee brother and her pal's birthday yesterday and our token Jewish pal was there as well so dropped into the pound shop to get her some gelt for Hannukah and she was all teary eyed because no-one else had even acknowledged it. She works in the same place as the missus (who also had no idea it was Hannukah) and the work had said/done nothing for it even tho' they do stuff for Diwali, Eid and Christmas. My work also puts something up on the intranet for each of these celebrations and sometimes puts things on for them for staff but, nope, nothing for Hannukah. I'm an atheist so don't really care for all this pish but if work's gonna do stuff for one of the major religious holidays they should be doing it for all them. Especially my place as we're about a quarter hour's walk away from London's biggest Hasidic Jewish community and when I'm working the front desk probably deal with two or three of them a week. It's not as if they're rare round these parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Charity. They've only got about a dozen full time staff members. One Hindu, two Muslim, scattering of Christians and the rest just atheists/agnostics. It's not as if it's a huge organisation and they've just missed out some wee Jewish lassie working in the post room. She works in the same room as these folk and speaks to them daily and wears a Star of David necklace. Just shitebag behaviour to not even acknowledge it to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Coca Cola cherry and Coca Cola original have the same colour label on them and at a glance it can be very easy to mistake one for the other. Not sure why they can’t make it more obvious, I bet a person buys the wrong variety of Coca Cola once every 30 seconds in Britain alone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Gonna tell her to wear a yellow badge if no one says anything before FridayCould get all the Jews in the area to, say, identify themselves with, maybe, a star of David armband that is compulsory for them to wear in public. I'm sure nobody has thought of identifying Jews this way and I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong with suggesting it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, Rice Krispies Multi Grain Shapes are now in a blue box, as are normal Rice Krispies. Rice Krispies are ok, Multi Grain Shapes are like eating cardboard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaving foam or gel is a good substitute for shower gel or soap. Especially on the arse & knackers. Invigorating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waking up five minutes before your alarm is worse. Do you get out of bed then or go back to sleep till the alarm goes off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
