scorch Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just heard one of the new (started Monday) temp to perm agency guys stood in the managers office saying "I really wanna go home, but I don't wanna lose my job" I wish I heard the rest of that conversation.

Hardcore1-6 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Yanks spell it wrong! Actually the difference between Irish and Scottish Whisk(e)ys. No E = Scottish. I checked and asked the Scotsman across the desk from me "Si, how do you spell Whisk(e)y?" 'Whisky, no E, because the Irish are *fruitcage* gay' Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Best thing ever was a Scottish person try to spell 'Mays' with a thick Scottish accent. Every A is an E. "not Eee, Eee!" Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 My pet hate is people who say the letters and the phonetics. It's not wheel of Fortune, knock that *suitcase* off. L for Lima always sounds like Alpha Lima. Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 No, that's just teaching the alphabet... Trust me, it's teaching phonetics. Married to a primary school executive head. I've had it drummed in to me. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's teaching the wrong phonetics though. Your wife's school is obviously not a member of NATO. I bet they haven't even standardised onto STANAG 5.56mm weapon systems. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I've been looking at TVs in John Lewis. Now anything less than a 65" 4K is unacceptable as they make everything else look too small. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 65"?! *fruitcage* me that's huge. I must have one for Archer season 6.. "Honeyyyy you know how I've broken my finger?? And the G42 helped make it better? Well I think this 65" 4K TV will probably fix what's left over? :)" how long can I milk this? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 They had a 78" one too. Only £9K. It was utterly stunning though. Link to post Share on other sites

Tinkerton Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Honestly? I'm happy enough with the 32" I've got, and have had for the last... 6 years? It's full HD, it's big enough to see the detail from the small living room I've got. I'd like to upgrade to perhaps a 40", but I've never seen a 4K one, and all my media is in 1080p anyway, so I'd likely not benefit. And 9k? *fruitcage* that. That's a deposit for a house for me. A house which will have a garage to keep Rusty safe in, and extra rooms to have mini-Tinks in, and security from landlords selling the house we live in or increasing rent or anything. I honestly hate how expensive electronics are getting these days. Honestly? NINE THOUSAND POUNDS for a TV? Had a check on the John Lewis website, and half the stuff I don't need and the other third I don't want. I don't want inbuilt freeview - I've got a separate box for that. I don't want 3D - it gives me a headache, the glasses are expensive, and it's pointless outside of a cinema where you can properly lose yourself in it. I don't want an inbuilt camera, I can get a webcam on my computer if I ever want to skype people. Why would I need inbuilt Wi-Fi? That just sounds stupid. And that's just crazy for something which is just a large display screen, and some chipsets and a pair of speakers. R&D simply cannot cost that much for a freaking TV. Anyway, rant: I was looking at some new-build houses last weekend. The guvmint is offering some pretty sweet deals if you're a first time buyer (like me and Mrs Tink are), which means we could over pay on a mortgage and have a shot at being mortgage free in under 18 years. that's damned tempting. Sadly all the houses that are available in budget don't have garages. Major downside. If I'm buying a house I'm having a garage. That's the one requirement I've got. There was an interesting 'clean hands self build' place that let you pick the outside of your house from a set few designs, then design the inside exactly how you want it. Want three floors and the top be one massive room? Done. Open plan ground floor to have a nice family kitchen diner living room? Done. *suitcase*, you want a lift? They can put a lift in. I could honestly see myself living there, with Mrs. Tink and starting a family and watching it grow there. Clear as day, I could see it. And this was in a house that was just to building regulations, so without a kitchen, or bathroom, or floors or decorations. I could see it in the most vivid way I've ever seen anything in my entire life and I want it so badly it hurts. It's out of budget. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Sadly all the affordable new builds available to first time buyers (Unless you're loaded) have garages you could not get a car in. It's utterly shocking the government hasn't amended regulations on what size a garage needs to be. Yeah, you could get an old Mini in one, but who has one of those these days.

Alias1983 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Well, every day is a school day! Cheers At work yes, I'm drinking like a fish, don't want to be there, I'm half asleep, and people are stupid and not human. Yeah just like school, people say stupid *suitcase*, I really do not understand why they say the things they say. But then again, I'm an introvert, they are extroverts.
