razza699 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 People who are new to organisations who feel the need to reform and change without actually understanding what they wish to change and whether it needs changing in the first place. Totally agree we have someone like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Totally agree we have someone like that Once the guy at my place gets over his inflamed sense of self importance, he perhaps will work out that even though I am junior to him in pay and level, he cannot change what he wishes to change without my say so, and that ain’t going to happen.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Not so much blood boils as deeply uncomfortable-making, if you go into a small shop in Abu Dhabi (like to buy a drink, fags or whatever) the shopkeeper will move any none-white people out of your way and usher you to the front of the queue to pay. It's just utterly cringe-inducing. Sounds grim. I don't know how you can stand it out there. I hate being shoved out of the way so that white folks can go to the front of the queue to pay for their drink, fags and whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd probably be a bit unsure about whether you qualified, but they'd most likely bring you forward out of, "safety first." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Oh that reminds me. At Abu Dhabi airport, whilst waiting overnight for a connect flight, I couldn't access any porn sites on my laptop. Not one. They were all blocked. WTF??? How do people who live in that country cope? I demand a revolution You need a VPN link. Apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've got a little bit of a gripe with Nelson Mandela, not least because he's apparently so great that you can't criticise anything about him. Just a little bit of a gripe, but that's a gripe, no mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I took a private course on how to look good naked. £1500 and three days of my life and all they said was that I should just take my clothes off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) How to look good naked. Christmas. Welshisms ("Where you to?", "Alright, butt!", "by there"). Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes. Facebook. I don't mind Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes, its not her fault she has a naff job (for what she is known to us for anyway) I would agree all this email in with your views BS gets on my tits at times, if I wanted to find out what other people think I'd either come on here, go down my local, or go on the thousands of interweb message boards there are. Plus I think you might mean "alright bach", not butt Edited September 8, 2010 by rudemedic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to LGH, when it comes to her bit, I half expect her to hold up a painting which "Johnny, aged 6 from Burnley has sent in of his favourite footballer" rather than read out peoples serious opinion. Jackie Oakley did it one week and she did an alright job..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Most of mine are driving-related, with an overlap of people who have no sense of personal space, and people with no manners.

Ackey Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Fair enough. But don't get me started on Mother Theresa. Oh hell yes, this! I can't check it at work but it's fair to bet the following has some VERY strong language: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Oakley did it one week and she did an alright job..... OK fair enough except "bach" best translates as "luv", so you can see where I'm coming from (and they sound similar in a welsh accent). Now you mention that about LGH I see your point she's a bit CBBC, (although strangely some presenters who started on CBBC, e.g. Jake Humphrey, are quite good).

rudemedic Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Lorries overtaking Lorries (or other speed restrricted vehicles) on a dual carriageway where the speed limit is 70. Thank they've stopped that in Durham on the A1(m). Spending money in the public sector to change the names of organisations, especially when that name change is not really relevant eg Pennine Acute Hospitals trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnt Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Piss off Ackroyd. When you go in Troff in then Northern Quarter, and you go up them pretty narrow stairs to the lav...when you wait at the bottom to let someone past and they dont say thanks. That does my nut in. - Cities that get split into quarters to make then sound trendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
