Random Irritations

We are told to be concerned that our civil service is 96,000 heads larger than it was 5 or 6 years ago. I wonder why that is the case :censored: and I wonder how the number of jobs in in CS is going to be cut to 2015/16 levels given that one very obvious reason why they are required today. Or maybe I am missing something.

It is not our fault, we wanted to keep the numbers don to 2015/16... but those across the channel wont allow us..

From the south .....stay on the A1 until you get to Newcastle then turn left onto the A696 towards Jedburgh/Ponteland. After about 28-30 miles, you join the A68.
This is a lovely road and it's empty and the Woolen Mill in Jedburgh has a lovely cafe and a huge selection of whiskys

Spot on bobmac, I use the A68 to get down to The Roxburghe from East Lothian, a great driving road !
 
This is kind of funny as well as annoying to be honest. I was just checking our player registrations for the Sunday footy team, and one player is showing as suspended, even though he's never got a card. I emailed them to ask what's going on. The response says that his former team has folded and they were severely in debt so the debt has been shared between all of their most recent registered players, and he'll have to pay £67 to clear his suspension. Are they having a laugh? :LOL: Who's going to pay that? He's not even played for them in at least two years. I think quite a few players will be playing under new names next season...

Methinks that you've toggled to US Key board. Used to irritate the bejeezus out of me and I can't remember how to toggle it back.
 
Nothing new, but, the amount of pain I'm currently in as a 35-year-old who just played football on Wednesday and Thursday. My right adductor has gone with pain in the thigh and hamstring, my left calf gone as well, and somehow I have a 6 inch long bruise on my left shin and can't even remember why. I know I should rest more but also feel like I've only got a couple of years left until I won't be playing at all anymore so I don't want to miss any games now. Not playing until next Thursday now though so hopefully recover a bit in a week. :confused:

Hopefully the 18-hole walk tomorrow will do it some good. :censored:
