Random Irritations

Also how can a rule be unwritten if its a forum where everything is written?

I didn’t say it was unwritten. I’ve not been made aware that it is an actual forum rule. And I won’t be reading them to find out. So please point me in the right direction if you know otherwise.

I think we should have an unwritten rule for this thread..if someone's irritation initiates more than 10 replies then it needs its own thread....

Good idea but 10 doesn't seem enough. 20 perhaps.
Unless, perhaps, you actually mean 10 repliers.
As 'proof', I believe there's already (though haven't counted) more than 10 replies about this very subject!!
Update....No. Exactly 10!

Had an email last night, at 4:30pm, basically saying "I'm on maternity leave from tomorrow, can you cover my project until they sort out my replacement? K thanks bye." WTF? Bit more notice maybe?
 
There is no actual rule regarding criticising anothers random irritation, but it is considered good ettiquette not to do so

However in the Mod Handbook (How to be a Mod) it does state that one of our jobs is to ensure that threads stay on topic,
and to this effect, it is probably fair to say that the subjects of Mason Greenwood/ Legal issues surrounding sexual assault etc, should now have their own thread

I try and move all related posts to a new thread later this evening

Maybe wish K well but have a chat with your boss about moving work around… win-win.

Not so much an irritation, just very sad.

Our oldest member, a few weeks shy of 94, had a fall yesterday morning as he was leaving the club. The poor guy is about 8 stone dripping wet, and rather frail. Add in dementia too. A broken shoulder, broken hip and broken ankle. The doc’s were operating yesterday evening.

Waiting to hear…

Great innings by a lovely, lovely gentle man. His stories and his history of achievements… A county swimmer in his day, a good golfer, an exceptional snooker player - I’ve seen numerous photographs of him playing the likes of Eddie Charlton, Ray Reardon et al, and a very competitive bowler into his 90’s. And a lovely husband to a wife, a make-up artist to so many top film stars, who had a rich history too. They had a blast!

Well played that man.

Sounded too much for a frail body when you posted...sad times but, as you say, a good knock..
Time to rest.
