You ever been to London? Nobody answers. If by chance a response is given it's as though you've offended the person :no:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Of course I have been to London. If they ignore me I give a further more stern. And louder response. Then I push forward. I don't really care if they look upset or offended. Their problem.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

They may get more offended when you step on their toes. :erm:

Went down to London last week for a couple of days to help my son & partner move into a place they just bought in Dollis Hill - whilst waiting for some fish & chips to be made on Tuesday evening, had a chat with guy waiting for his order; freaked him out… :D

The Welsh Arsembly has followed the SNP in increasing the Minimum Unit Price for Alcohol from 50p per unit to 65p per unit.

A litre of 37.5% vodka was at least £18.75. It will rise to at least £24.38.

All the extra cash was to go to "small shop owners", but actually gets swallowed by brewers, distillers, distributors and wholesalers.

At work on Wednesday and the Shift manager called me in to the office, I'm thinking has the FLM X, reported me.

Nope, it was to say they don't want 2 admins in the department, plus they are ditching all agency staff, and that Friday will be my last day.

So I went home, and decided Fuff that I'm not going in Friday, but will go in Thursday to hand over the stuff I'm dealing with to my friends.

I then decided to leave with the at 2:30.

So now the job hunt restarts

Then yesterday I dropped my phone and it landed screen down and cracked the screen and now the fingerprint doesn't work, so I cannot afford to get a new phone.

Damn that's rough Hom3r, hope you can find a job quickly even if it is not something you would go for.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Yep, crap thing to happen at any age, never mind if you're in your 50's.

I'm thankfully retired, but if I was applying for an office type job nowadays I'd lie and say I was a fully reprogrammable AI function with state of the art algorithms.

Trains :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I can't remember the last time I was on a train, maybe 10 years ago, I'm glad I don't have to rely on them to get from A to B, that goes for all public transport.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Don't it work out the same with your car issues and my train issues

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

What sort of car issues? It doesn't breakdown and if I ever get stuck in traffic it's not that bad but if it was I'd just change my route. I'd rather sit in my car than on a train or bus that's for sure.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I'd rather the train. I guess it's personal preference.

My return journey (right now) is the same as this morning. Nothing major. Just some slow legs of the journey.

Thank you Hugh :D It's not played up since switching to an esim

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I've had a stinking cold since Tuesday, and it's not getting any better, so we've had to cancel our 40th Wedding Anniversary weekend away - not a lot of point going to a Michelin starred restaurant & hotel when you can't taste anything, and it wouldn't be very sociable to the other diners celebrating Valentine's Day to have me hacking, coughing, and blowing my nose all evening.

On the bright side, the hotel waived their normal cancellation policy, and are returning what we paid for the weekend stay/meals, which is very helpful - so we'll book to go another time.
