Random Irritations

My colour blindness stop me from doing noddy electrical work.

I worked with a colleague who started out at 16 as an electrician, but soon had to give it up for this reason. He then went and worked for the local Inland Revenue office, before joining an accountancy firm working as a tax adviser. To cut a long story short, he worked his way up, joined one of the big four firms and ultimately made it onto their management Board. At that point I suspect he was taking home a seven figure profit share and has now recently retired. Throughout this time he remained the grounded person he started out as.

Just shows that a ‘problem’ became a blessing in disguise in this case.
 
when you've spent best part of a month structuring a £50M insurance placement and they tell you they want something different and you have 2 hours to sort it out!
 
when the next day delivery of a new mobile phone is delayed, and then delayed a second day - by which time it is too late to pick it up before you go away for the weekend...
 
Double standards of feminism... went for lunch yesterday with my dad at his club. We got talking to a some of the lady members who were chatting about how women and men are equal in all aspects of life and that there should never be different treatment for any one including physically..

Now my dad is a very old fashioned man's man, and said to them well that's fair enough maybe we should ask the committee to scrap men's and ladies tees and all play from the same place on the course!! The horror on their faces and they went to shout him down about how that's unfair on women, they should have their ladies only Tees because they're not as strong as the men and ladies only days they still have at his club...

His reply as he walked off "didn't you just say should all be equal physically and what if we had men's only day we'd be call sexist"

Now whilst I don't condone my dad's actions (maybe a little bit :ROFLMAO:) and I agree in all things equal, I can't stand double standards!
