Random Irritations

I thought the footy and such was not always available on the Sounds app due to contractual restrictions.

Yes I guess it need to be on R5Live, last nights game was definitely on there.

Of course we need to report potholes. You can't expect the council to routinely go round inspecting all the roads all the time.

But I'm referring to the insanity of seeing a couple of potholes marked with yellow while there are a few others right next to them not marked.
I understand that the definition of a pothole is that it has to be 4cm deep, but to simply ignore others nearby that are, say, 3cm deep is just silly.

There's a guy near us that got himself a can of the paint that they use to mark the potholes. Every time some of the potholes got marked by the council he went out with his paint and marked other ones close to them. The contactors assumed their paperwork was wrong and fixed all of the ones that were highlighted.

The ones round my way probably would have gone "this doesn't match the paperwork" then fixed none of them and gone back to get it checked.

Would actually be better if they just said either we won't answer your question, or we can't - rather than a load of deflection nonsense, and unrelated gumph

Are you sure you didn't contact this forum by mistake?

Thats what I wanted to listen to, but at the start of it the whole of the BBC web site was down. Came back with about 10-15 mins gone.

Women driving BMWs… two wrongs don’t make it right ..

Also saw a 20 something drive into the gym car park with headphones.. i don’t mean small headphones, but proper over the ear, noise cancelling ones. How can someone do that?

 

[Robster59]

the same happens with the PFI hospitals

Tell me about it. I see it all the time. The money that is wasted due to the way those PFI contracts are written is criminal.

Are you referring to greenkeepers, pro-shop staff and clubhouse staff?
Don't know where we would be without them.
They have my praise and thanks.
Marvellous people.

I worked in a 7-day business for 22 years. Changing to Mon-Fri, I had a sort of guilty feeling for the first few years.
When a bank holiday comes around, I always think about the people for whom that means more or extra work. As it used to be for me.

I honestly don't know how anyone works 9-5

It's blooming awful

Writes off the entire day

Love a midweek round of golf

Much prefer shifts

Even nights aren't that bad when in the swing of it

I absolutely preferred shifts over 9 to 5.

BUT those who write the patterns need to incorporate something which provides a semblance of work/life balance.

We vetoed the companies roster and proposed our own

We needed very high votes (75%) but we got it and got voted through

12 hour weekends to mean 2 weekends from 7 on average

I have to work those hours or longer as that’s the uk business standard, maybe i should go on strike to demand a change
