Random Irritations

[Bazz]

Early 40’s, plenty of shelf life left. I think my colleagues issue is that anything senior (head procurement manager) people don’t want to invest time as they are worried about how much longer he plans to work, on the flip Lidl, Tesco and aldi won’t even give him an order picking job as “ you’re only using us until you find something else “ was a comment he was told.

I'd love to take a job at M&S when I'm getting close to retirement, use the discount and just wind down. Your mate will have loads to offer, not just work experience but life experience, so short sighted from hiring companies.

Slightly different in my case, having spent 30 years in a public sector role, but my one big regret is not moving around within the police. There was so much more I could have done, but I found a comfort zone.

Ironically, the most enjoyable period I had was when I was promoted, and they moved me from that comfort zone to a role which was as far removed from it as it was possible to be. I loved it.

I massively regret not trying out for the police, was morbidly obese in my early 20s so wouldn't have got anywhere near being successful but I wish I'd done something about it then.

Get your own his and hers draws.

I hope you meant his and hers drawers, not draws.

I thought about the police years ago, but by then had a family to think about. I would have liked to have made it into the RAF, I wanted to do an apprenticeship to be a weapons or propulsion technician, but failed the very final exam.
Do I regret it, no...I don't regret anything in my life. As I see it, if I regret something as life changing as that would have been I am regretting what life I have had, my wife, kids and grand daughter and I can never ever do that.
Wonder what if, then yes. Regret, definatly no. Life is what it is, and often the path is chosen for us.

This is what me and HID say.

Despite both my wife and I being right handed, when she puts the knifes and forks in the cutlery drawer she puts the knives to the left of the forks……infuriating

Hate to piss on ya chips, checked our draw this morning while making a cupper as it has a pre moulded insert from howdens.

Knifes to left, then fork, then spoons. No way of putting the knifes any where else as they are longer than a fork and there’s clearly a size difference.

The wife is right, just never tell her as ts more fun to argue about it.

Why do some people write as if they are talking with an accent?

Why do some people write as if they are talking with an accent?

Because they write using their internal thought process in the same way they speak, so people write in a way that matches their dialect. It’s common the world over.

My bloody shoulder. Been in a good place with it recently, able to train, play golf pain free absolutely no issues. Woken up this morning in bloody agony, can’t stretch the pain out and there goes my golf this morning.

Arrived in Japan yesterday. Before we came, checked the UK.GOV travel advice, and it correctly stated that British passport holders can get a visa when they arrive.

My irritation is that nowhere on the UK.GOV travel advice does it mention that if you make your declarations online at the Visit Japan website, you avoid the massive queues and the need to fill in paper forms. We only found out about that facility once we arrived at Tokyo airport. It's not rocket science for the Foreign Office to divulge this useful information to it's citizens

Second irritation regarding travelling to Japan...

This is our first time on Singapore Airlines, which has a really good reputation. But they provide such a good trolley service that the ailes are constantly blocked preventing passengers getting to the toilets

Will admit I was panicking and stressing when I was put at risk - early 50’s and looking was a worry

I had always planned my finances to retire at 55.

I worked in insurance and the amount of death claims I had to deal with for guys in the late 50s early 60s was a bit of an eye opener.

Why aye!

"D'ye ken John Peel" is an English song.

Missis T has been in the card factory for 20 mins looking for 5 cards. Am dying. Why spend longer looking for a card than the person who receives it does.

Our dividers are equal size, so any utensil can go in any section.

I’m standing my ground, it’s barbaric how she does it

Airport security removing stuff from your bag that’s over 100ml, no issue with that at all but then you can buy the exact same item in the departure lounge once you’re cleared
