    Sometimes 1 is necessary to shut out the annoying, overly chatty person. (If you don’t do 1, does that say something about you? ;wink)


    You know what’s worse? The colleague who comes in and watches TV programs without his headphones (it’s a small bureau).

    Or people who go in on there day off to use subsidised canteen

    Outcast, I currently have that problem re #1

    Since asking if he could seek help with his speech impediment he has been much quieter.

    He did ask "What impediment"

    I said, you seem to stop talking to breathe in

    Right I need to share a couple of things which irritate me immensely

    1) people who wear earphones and listen to music whilst doing an office job

    2) people who come in at 9 and then promptly have breakfast at their desks (no doubt using the company’s milk)

    I’ll probably find no-one shares my views, maybe I’m old fashioned..

    ;hmm

    I do 1 because at some point in the past all companies decided that open plan offices were the way to go and now you just have constant noise. So to shut that out and concentrate I wear headphones if I have to get something done quickly.

    I also do 2, because I get up at 4:30 to get in to the office for 8am, I'm just not hungry at 8 am, so I'll have breakfast at work.

    Re 2) As long as it’s not smelly and not noisy, it’s fine with me.

    Adam: so you'd be ok with a mime artist waving an air freshener around in front of you?? ;hmm
  • AdamAdam
    Are you saying mime artists need air fresheners in order to not smell? ;lol
  • KuchinghammerKuchinghammer
    No offense to mime artists, some of them are are good friends of mine ;wink but it can take a lot of effort to escape from an imaginary box ;yercoat

    I see Trump is now retreating BritainFirst stories..

    Also not surprisingly the content is inaccurate, the story was "VIDEO: Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!"

    But according to Dutch media, culprit wasn't a Muslim. Also not a migrant. But a 16-year old Dutch boy from town of Edam-Volendam.

    He was arrested on May 13th 2017, one day after the incident happened.

    Makes you cry.....

    I found it hard to believe when I saw what Trump had done, even by his standatds that is appalling.

    Ack. Sat with two Liverpool fans who are fawning over Salah.

    The same two Liverpool fans who were up in arms in the summer because they didn't want a useless Chelsea reject in their team.

    Hate Liverpool fans.

    A tough question, well for me anyway....

    Who is the only 2 players to have won the Champions League, the Premier League, the Europa League/UEFA Cup and the FA Cup and get relegated from the Premier League during their career?
  • alderzalderz

    I can think of Kanu who played for Arsenal and Portsmouth in England but I can't think of anyone else at the moment

    I'm not sure about the EUFA one but I think Michael carrick must have done the others.
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Thorn your good...

    Carrick won UEFA last season.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Oh yes. I was sure it was going to be an ex hammer so it had to be be of the 2003 ones and he had the best chance at Utd.

    Again me back for a moan

    I may be in the minority but I am sick and tired of hearing about Meghan’s life history

    It’s as though one can’t go anywhere without having something about her thrust at you
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Me, I'm sick and tired of having a Royal Family. ;biggrin
  • TheMadcapLaughsTheMadcapLaughs
    Who will be paying for the wedding???? ;angry

    I was always a supporter of abolishing the monarchy and replacing the monarch with an elected head of state

    Trump makes me glad we have a Royal Family.........
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    No great lover of the Royals but a Federal system costs money too.

    I view them as our Disney World good for Tourism...

    No one ever goes to Germany to look at Angela Merkels house...

    They do, though, go to look at the 'houses' of ex kings and queens. ;biggrin
  • TheMadcapLaughsTheMadcapLaughs
    I`m pretty ambivalent towards the royal family, on the one hand they don`t really bother me much, and on the other, I could line the lot of them up against a wall and take an AK47 to them. Ho hum.
