Like Max Clifford, he wrote his autobiography in the third person.
It's supposed to be a hilarious read (but not intentionally).

(but not intentionally) hehe..makes me laugh alot.

Ta my flatmate even seems to read loudly. At the end of each chapter or sentiment he feels the need to go "hmppf" like he's realised something earth shattering. I don't care!! We're not reading the same book and I didn't just land on the same conclusion you did!...how about you read quietly (that's the nature of books btw) and keep your hmmming and hawing and commenting and ****ing ANYTHING for another day, yeah?

Since the weekend I have contacted two independent businesses for a quote on a version of what they do, so far not a peep even tho I know the messages have been received and read.

I finally found a short q at a localish branch of the national supermarket that I need to stock up on own brands from, ran around it getting this and that, came back without one of the most nb things.

Before I went to the supermarket I saw some fudge on sale and it set off a craving I couldn't shake, in the end I got a small bag in the supermarket. One the way back to the house I dropped into a small shop to buy eggs and spotted my very favourite in the world cheese biscuit at a exorbitant price, learning my lesson from the fudge I resisted. Now Im back at my desk the craving from cheesy biscuits is tormenting me.

Finally, the weekly conversation about how many eggs are in the fridge, neither of us knew so it was decided to buy a large box(which will prob go off before we get them finished) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Handy way to check if eggs are good or not, stick them in a bowl of water. If they stick, they are good, if they float, they are gone off.

TA that people throw out good food just because of a date. (Not directed at you Bredabe)

They know, there's a thread fot that.

My TA is that I'm over thinking about whether or not if I should enrol to do a diploma. The area is of interest to me, but probably won't be needed workwise, but you never know, it might stand to me when I go for an internal move.

I did it as part of my degree but regret not doing it as part of my professional exams. I was really good at it in college but that is like 8 years ago.

I also keep thinking about what a waste of money it would be if I failed. Me and my stupid brain :rolleyes:

It wouldn't be a waste of money, Shelly, it'd be invested in something you enjoy and makes you happy.

I used to go into the cinema and eat a truckload of pick n mix and then just leave:p

TA that I want a beer and I haven't even had coffee yet Ta'd that there's no alcohol in coffee ...unless....

OH works for a large, multinational firm and is now WFH. Every time I go into the kitchen to make a cuppa, he is on a conference call. Fair enough, I can live with having to dress before I walk around the house! But why is it that so many people whose first language isn't English, insist on speaking it with a faux American accent? Do they just learn it off the telly? :pac:

And it's all stuff about "issues" and "like" thrown in at every opportunity. Why

If ever there was a time for alcohol in coffee this is it. I can't drink at the moment and it TAs me when people who can drink pass up perfectly reasonable opportunities to do so - what a waste :P

I've been on a few web meetings over the past few weeks. My own web cam is disabled.

TA'd that I don't see any off script things happening in the background on peoples webcams.

No messy houses - they are all perfect.

No kids running in background.

No wife/mistress in a dressing gown making coffee.

I've had a colleague's child, in another country, IM me before (without mom's prior knowledge) and that same kid went mental using the pots and pans as makeshift drums when we were on a call.

Better off just bringing your own - apart from the exorbitant pick and mix rates charged by cinemas a lot of those jellies would be sitting there for ages going stale before you get to them.

Not to mention all the grubby kids sticking their hands in mauling it all! Manky!

We had the same thing yesterday, Ted, but what I noticed is that everyone was sitting by a window, and with a wall behind them. You really can't tell what else goes on behind their screens. Mind you, the other say one of my colleagues' partner could be seen in the background carrying a full laundry basket. Talk about washing your dirty laundry in public!

when ppl cut across me when Im talking and then throw a hissy when I refuse to repeat myself.

A friend gave a few balls of left over wool in Feb as we had been talking about knitting therapy for ppl with memory issues or family history of dementia. I started about 4 hairbands with it and gave up, I saw a post asking for wool/needles/buttons for ppl to use to knit comfort items for frontline workers.

NOW I'm seeing the colours I needed for the hairbands and rushing to get the bands knitted ahead of the date the wool is due to be handed over.
