Alkaline Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Amazon / Royal Mail, I thought my Frasier DVDs would come today so I could watch them at the weekend, sadly they didn't and they are getting delivered to work so I'm not gonna get them till Monday now, and they'll be sitting at the back of the door in the office for two whole days Tuesday i would say. I'm sure the Royal Mail shut down for Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 We had mail today too, and tomorrow isn't a bank holiday either, is it? Actual post offices are open to the public today and tomorrow. I think it's just Monday they are closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Toilet Attendants.Why the fuck is there a toilet attendant in fucking Warehouse!? What the hell do the pubs and clubs get out of having these fuckers there? I don't know anyone who's thankful that there's a guy in the bathroom that forces towels, soap and aftershave onto you and expects money in return. It just makes people angry, intimidated and prone to unhygienic behaviour.One Tuesday afternoon 6 or 7 years ago I received a voicemail message from an apparent stranger called George - a Nigerian man who was calling to arrange to meet up with me as discussed and share with me the teachings of Jesus Christ. It transpired he was a Toilet Attendant from the Priory who, the previous Saturday night, Id given a month to convince me of the existence of Godas well as giving him my phone number. I never did that again. The fact that they are invariably black makes me feel uncomfortable about the whole thing (I should clarify I am uncomfortable with black people as servants to the white man, not uncomfortable with black people). I appreciate they choose this employment but.it just doesnt look good. On top of that it is annoying as fuck and they (toilet attendants, not black people) can GTF if they think Im paying them for passing me a towel and making me feel like some colonial gentleman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sloth Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I have reached an all time low. I now feel I have to hate myself. Why you may ask? The answer, for being annoyed if I miss an episode of "Come dine with me" I hate it having that affect on me. Not bothered about other reality shows, but I hate missing "Come dine with me" and hate myself for hating missing it. Cold Turkey is the only way to deal with shit TV addiction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washing your hands for free is an awesome privilege.The Nigerian guy in the International Casino is the worst. He suckers you in by asking you questions about football, then once you get into a conversation with him he tries to convert you to Christianity. I considered writing to the manager last week cos I qas quite annoyed about it. I don't go to a Casino to get preached at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time I encountered a toilet attendant, I was so overcome with some sort of white guilt at having a black guy literally wait for me to finish having a shit I gave him about half of my night out budget.Stupid in retrospect, but the associations made me really uncomfortable.

Surfer_Rosa Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 If all toilet attendants were like the guy at the Arches, who orchestrates regular mass sing-a-longs about poonani, I don't think anyone would have a problem with them.

waltz Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 The fact I had a dream about beating up a ten year old burglar. And the worst bit? Trying to lead a normal life, going on Aberdeen-Music and seeing all my rep had gone because the incident was in the news.Fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britheguy Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Cold Turkey is the only way to deal with shit TV addiction.True, very true. I was doing really well with it. I would miss weeks at a time due to work. However, I've now got Sky Plus, or whatever it is, and it gets recorded. I remember one time a episode where someones main course (turkey) was cold. Is that where you got the idea from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Chamber Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Filthy Christians.They were better as Protes Bengt (ask Toasty if you need to).Today's pet hate is my front doooor lock. Left for work this morning and heard a funny "ping-clunk" sound while locking up, thought it was a bit odd and promptly forgot about it as you do. Got home early for a change and found I couldn't open the bastard doooor. Cue slight swearing and mild panic before borrowing use of the 2005/6 Yellow Pages from the friendly, local hairdresser and phoning Lumsden's. Luckily someone was out within the hour to fix the lock so here I sit waiting on a no-doubt-hooringly-hefty bill for it. But what else can you do? It needed sorting and I needed in.

britheguy Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 People who eat minging food at the workplace. They pop it in the micro to heat it up and this causes the workplace to stink. Fish is the worst closely followed by some sort of local stew. I would cope with this by just going outside for a few minutes "ergo break". However, there seems to be new trend happening.....my room mate. He is on some sort of health diet. Fish is part of it. He has started eating canned kippers in the room....it's fucking minging the place up to the extent that i want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britheguy Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Tsk, racist.Oh sorry, do you think? I thought it was like saying something like "local brew" etc. Anyway, surely one needs to mention the area/country/region etc before it becomes racist. I could be speaking about Stovies, after all I did also mention kippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
