Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Ballsy move riding in front of and goading a scaffolder/scaffold truck. From the scaffolders I've known that could have easily ended differently. They're not usually the calm, measured type.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread

Surely if they're arguing that "he knows the "capabilities and limits" of his bike." then they're actually saying that he crashed on purpose?

Re: Menopause is now a disability (UK)

My missus has this habit of starting conversations with (talks at me) me when I'm texting someone (as in I'm midway through typing a 1st/2nd reply - mid conversation) , then flips out when I open the next text and read it because I'm ignoring her and not interested in what she's saying.

Re: Drunk Purchases

Must admit, I've used booze to Put My Big Boy Pants On and make big purchases, but those were purchases that I'd already decided to make and was just fear't of pulling the trigger on them. I don't think I've ever accidentally drunk-purchased anything in my life. Clearly I'm missing out on the surpr...

Re: Rolf Harris

Funnily enough Jobbo, my company used to have one of the units in your business park. The "Northern" MD chose it as our northern office (bearing in mind we do expensive city centre type office fit outs). We fired him when he turned out to be shit, shut it down and set one up in central Man...

Re: Your fleet running reports

On the bright side, but perhaps moot right now given the above cashflow issue, I had a look at a very cheap Range Rover this afternoon. Probably not going to buy it as it doesn't have a tow bar and I think it'll be worth holding out and paying slightly more for one with the factory fit electric job...

Yeah, just been down to the end of the garden. It's crazy bright in photos - but once you've seen it on the photo it starts to stand out more to the naked eye...

Talking about Collecting Cars, why would you buy a Turbo S and then make it look like a GT3 RS? https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2014-porsche-911-991-turbo-s-6 https://images.collectingcars.com/029852/Main3.jpg?w=1263&fit=fillmax&crop=edges&auto=format,compress&cs=srgb&q=85 7...

Re: People (Office)

To be fair, I've spent the last 2 hours sat in a pub in the sun for lunch with my office workers - we're pretty good at the social stuff - there's about 16 of us all paid for.

The whole "culture" thing actually means something in some places!

Do you reckon the boredom is down to the specific job you do - not suited etc. ? IT s perfectly suited to remote working so I don't have that issue. yeah, our projects are pretty short and fast paced, they work way better when everyone is in the same room asking questions, offering ideas and checki...

Re: People (Office)

I prefer working from the office - but I like everyone I work with - we're a fairly small office (<30) and I've had the benefit of being involved in the hiring of everyone, so we wouldn't hire anyone we didn't like. I do around 1 day a week at home but I find it boring.
