General Chit chat / Randomness #2

D'Agger

Hardly seems worthy of its own thread so going to chuck this query your direction guys:

Where in Cork would potentially stock chess/draughts boards - I'm looking for a nice enough wooden set where possible.

Alternatively - does anybody have any DIY solution?

What's your situation that you don't want a full time job if you don't mind me asking?

Milly33

Not at all I work three days a week in an office and their great, but I started with covering maternity leave, then that lady came back and we do a job share as such. So I don't really want to leave them in the lerch by looking for a full time as I know twud be a little awkward So if I could get another job either two days or three days (as I really not needed the third day here) it would be great.. Id do anything really that's the worst thing I can't decide what I want to do

D'Agger

Yeah, and the thing is with part time - if it's two days you're looking for then you'll most likely be working sporadic days/hours that most likely won't suit.

Cracking morning there today, shades on driving into work listening to a bit of Marvin Gaye :cool:

theres about 2 days work in painting my fence and window sills if you fancy it? i dont pay much but i make a nice cup of tea:)

Milly33

I know the stress of it all, I might have to look for new work but again feel bad leaving work down as such but as himself says that aint my problem.. Painting you say, how much is not much then

I agree with himself for three reasons. 1) Look after yerself. 2) if it didn't suit them to have you, they wouldn't have you so finding a job that you might probably end up stressing yourself out making something out of. 3) there's a high likelihood that there might be someone out there for whom your three day week job is ideal- it might get them off the dole queue.

Such a strange concept.....more in their line to put more crisps on their bags...maybe add a bit of extra salt and vinegar to the blue packs too!

Id say if the chocolate was nicer it wouldn't be that bad.

Mint kit-kat won the competition https://www.facebook.com/kitkatuk?brand_redir=1

Dont ask me how it won.

However they did make an announcement on 12th april that they will be bringing the peanut butter one back and they expect it to take a few weeks for stocks to hit all areas.

Mint one the most recent one though no?

Peanut Butter was up against White chocolate, orange and double chocolate and won but they never properly released them.

They're damn good! Hopefully you're right about an impending return.

I'm getting tired of this diversification of chocolate.

Back in my day there was one type of kit kat, one of Maltesers, one of cadburys caramel, one of Aero Mint etc. Each chocolate delivery mechanism, whether bar, ball, or deck had it's own merits and pitfalls, but that was the whole point - take the good with the bad and show your loyalty for your preferred chocolate. eg the kitkat with it's tinfoil and external red wrapper wasn't ideal when driving. Maltesers wouldn't survive for too long in the bottom of a school bag. Cadbury Eclairs were grand for the cinema but not practical for lunch (too much sharing potential with greedy coworkers).

But now you're given not only every variety of flavour (peanut butter can go feck off) but also packaging type, so not only are we left with twenty different size types of Cadbury Chocolate bar, but now even the hallowed Malteser (capital "M") is available in bunny and bar format. Blasphemy. Too much choice = no choice at all; I can never decide and am bewildered by the selection on display.

Sure I can't even remember what the standard Cadbury's Caramel bar looks like anymore. All I can think of is that bunny from the ads.

CHOCOLATE - SHOW US YOUR TRUE FORM!

Very odd, Just had a chap call into the office where I work asking to speak to a manager, when I asked if he had an appointment he said not that it was really a personal matter or it was highly confidential. Gave the name Robert Dickson, he looked very agitated or kinda angry. So anywho manager said no as don't have a notion who he is, when I said this he just kinda went off in a huff, drove away in a white small van..Anyone know who he is
