Re: People (Office)

I live 5 minutes from the office in the car so popping in or out of the office is absolutely fine. I've done 2 hours at home first, then nipped into the office for a face to face, back home for lunch and a few hours ans then gone back in for a 16:00. (to be around for deliveries) I've full IT kit at...

Re: People (Office)

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.

Re: People (Office)

Is it just the people or is the environment ? I like meeting up with people in my department because, as we have no fixed days in the office, it's variable who'll be in the day you are so it's not the same faces. Downside is that from time to time, the office can be quite empty so if you're on a cal...

The Final - Attack on Wembley - on Netflix Documentary about the Euro's final in 2021 and what happened outside before and during the game. I'm a football fan (Gooner - "It's the hope that kills you" :lol: ) so found this very interesting. I of course saw the news reports but I had no ide...

Re: Dogecoin etc

By BIL actually met someone who's made genuine real world money on BitCoin at his Martial Arts DoJo Not sure when he got in or got out but he bought a load and then sold it and was able to buy his house outright and mortgage free with the profits. I was beginning to think these people didn't exist. ...

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

A cyclist hit a pedestrian.

It is, therefore, the cyclist's fault.

End of discussion.

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

I suppose that's my point - if now, cyclists are entitled to cycle wherever they are legally allowed to be and no matter what the circumstances, it a car happens to be in that same space, it's automatically the Car's fault, then yeah, lots of junctions are going to need to change. Or else extend the...

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

Looking at that, I'd suggest that in order to have a clear view of oncoming cyclists, especially if it's a Van or 4x4 letting you out, you would already need to most of the way across the road before you'd have that clear view. Although the perspective of google maps view might distort things. And t...

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

Driver definitely at fault but the cyclist kept to the inside of the curve and didn’t help themselves. How should the Mini driver have avoided this accident? - they're making a, presumably, legal left turn, they don't seem to be driving with any significant speed. The amount of time between when th...

When I visit my friends in Stirling, the local Indian Takeaway has Chicken Nugget Balti and Puzza Naan…

So perhaps our Scottish brethren aren’t the benchmark for good Indian food… ;)

Re: HMRC Automated Phone System

The incompetence is mind boggling..
