Quote from: YamFazFan on 30 November 2017, 04:30:18 pmI was in a hotel restaurant having breakfast last summer and a bloke and his partner were only putting their phones down long enough to take another forkful of food, then immediately continuing texting.Now this got my goat, but why?.It had no bearing on me and didn't affect my meal in any way.So why was it so foccing irritating to watch??! Because it is so foccing irritating thats why, too many people addicted to shit like facebook and twitter, they seem to have no idea how to have a real conversation with a real person.When we take the grandkids out for a meal I have a rule, food or phone, choose one. So far they have always picked food

Tea bags that are as weak as p*ss and taste less, and it doesn't seem to matter which brand you buy or how much you pay. Yes I do know how to make a good cuppa first thing I learnt as an apprentice brickie.
fazersharp....try a different supermarket
That was my point you have to use 2 now to get a half decent cuppa were as a few years ago 1 would do the trick.
Tesco Original tea bags are the dogs bollocks, One in a mug and squish it a few time and squeeze the juice out of it, Lovely.Ha Ha the Mrs just brought me one into the home office
Thinking that you've just had a good day at work and then being told you're redundant (as of now) just as you're about to go home.
It is legal because I've only been there for 18 months - I think the official term is "Laid off" but it amounts to the same thing.I'm being paid until the end of the week + my holiday entitlement.Yep, it's crap but it's a small family business and I think he's going to go down the pan altogether before too long.I liked the boss, he is also a biker, and I feel sad for both of us. He is facing a larger financial ruin than I am.
I am a lorry driver. I would not make a very good Barista as I would be too tempted to drink the fine cuppa that I'd just made I have spent the day hawking my CV to all and sundry. One definite maybe, one maybe, one maybe after xmas and plenty of nothing available.Came home a bit dispirited but got on the internet. Several applications sent.One phone call asking me to attend interview on Friday from one of the internet applications.Then I finally got through to a chap my boss had given me the phone number for and after a nice chat, where he said my boss had already rung him, I have been offered work for tomorrow and Friday - this may well lead onto full time work.So I'm going to have to email the nice lady in Edinburgh to say I can't attend the interview - I'm not going to miss out on the chance of full time work for a local firm (the chap lives at the other end of my lane).
