It's not..

When I started my current job, one of my then colleagues actually told me the only reason the Uni could afford to employ me is that his colleague had died of cancer a few weeks before I started. I felt awful, as I knew the guy as a student and he was a nice man. I talked to my then boss and he assured me that was not the case.

Anyway, The Daddy, it can be horrible losing a colleague as they can often be friends as well as work colleagues. I hope you feel better soon.

So sorry for your loss, condolences to you and all the family, Nash

I was a rolling temp as the guy whose job it was was having cancer treatment.

He was very good friends with the QM, who I'm sure does resent me working there.

Google Chrome.

I opt out of its 'targeted advertising' based on my browsing, however it's incredibly regular updates always opt me back in again. I'm sure that's the only reason for it 'updating' so regularly.

And another one (i'm on a roll tonight !). Virgin Media webmail - it's so poor and frequently inaccessible - can't be that complicated a function to deliver.

Yes l have to agree with you on the second one Mr K as its Webmail looks like its been produced on a shoestring and made by amateurs.

Not used my ISP webmail in donkeys years, I would say it is best not to tie your email to one's ISP as these can change.

My retinopathy screening result came back, I have the start of it in my eyes. As you can imagine I'm not calm about it. Might see if I can get the images and go to Moorfields.

Got locked in the spare bedroom as the door latch would spring back, luckily i had a tool box in front of me so was able to prize it open!

So it is off to Homebase in the morning to replace atleast 3 door latches in my house as those are also very dodgy!

Sorry to hear that TD it's never nice to lose a friend, work colleague or family member.

Sincere condolences.

TV Programmes aimed for the UK, yet they insist on using Kilometres & Euros.

2 units which mean nothing to me, plus the later changers constantly.

My company is being ISO audited, every I & T has to be dotted & crossed.

Its a right pain in the ass, as they go through every procedure with a fine tooth comb.

They asked if the company had a procedure/policy in-case our syndicate wins the lottery, they haven't, that was a mark against us.

As was the lack of KPIs, which are virtually impossible for us to do, but they don't see it.

It's almost as bad as "Six Sigma"

How much of a chance do the council give people, The house has had the Pest Control out 4 times within a year, She keeps black bags full of Rubbish in the house council had to come and take them away. Her children have not been allowed to stay there till the house is clean, the children are never at school. They have been given new furniture three times as they break everything, Children have been running wild destroying and leaving Rubbish about, She has a partner who has a house of his own but lives there and works seven days a week. Police and social services are never away from the door, She now not has been seen for a week , so she now has 28 days to come back and get her house in order or she will be evicted, The family are above my house and our house and the rest are all bought houses, I pray she stays away, We are going to see a councillor this Monday for advice, I think I mentioned this family before to you. They are a gypsy family

Saw my grandfather today for first time since last summer, and I am shocked how much he has changed. He now looks even older than the 79 he is, and to be honest I'll be stunned if he makes his 80th this November. He might be a selfish cantankerous old git but it is sad to see a man who was fighting fit just 10 years ago go so downhill health wise.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope he picks up Mark.
