    Minor complaints thread

    One t-shirt is probably ok. Wearing hundreds of them at once is a bit showy imho.

    2020-21 Football thread

    I'm pretty sure the opening brass of the Georgian national anthem is different but the same as the sample from Jump Around by House of Pain. I don't recall the original sample, To my shame. Anyway, for reasons, Georgia is my team for this competition. They have such good walnuts.

    Your work situation

    Yeah, I know. Once I'm there I'm sure it'll flow easily enough. Now I can focus my needless worries on what kind of strangers I'll be with tomorrow.

    Minor Pleasures

As well as other things. Eating it now I discover that in fact the swirly thing is not just bread, but stuffed...

    Your work situation

    That's what ended up happening. It's not day rate +50%, but it's good. He's a good negotiator, this client. I'm just there to make it legit, so all I'll do is go up and down. Maybe occasionally shrug my shoulders and also decide when break time is. Just in my wildest notions last night I was...

    I'm in a situation and I need advice. a good situation. Someone is desperate for a tech who can also operate a cherry picker. Apparently I won't need to do anything other than make it legit that there's a qualified MEWP operator there. but I'm sure I'll end up getting stuck in anyway, in spite...

    Miscellaneous Articles You Should Read

    Just go back through the messages. iirc, last time someone mentioned paywalls I posted a link to a paywall breaker and got internet credits for it, from you. Though I thought it was common knowledge at the time.

    I already told you link earlier. I think someone else mentioned it too. Though you don't get pictures, which I feel is probably a shame for that article. I wouldn't know.

    Major Complaints Thread

    Picking and choosing which funerals or weddings I can attend. I went to one funeral (in Bristol)*, because I felt like someone had to. In doing so I had to forego a funeral in Scotland and an actual blood relatives funeral in Ireland. And also a wedding in Ireland, which I know the bride...

    Update on this, I should get a refund for that journey. Don't know how it works in Ireland but there's a system for this over here. I do foresee a to-ing and fro-ing of frustrating emails though. The return journey was lovely.

    Jaysus cycling!

    There's a market stall here flogging a variety of European cycling tops. Prices negotiable I assume. These jerseys mean nothing to me, but some of you might be interested.

    Insomnia

    It's utterly unscientific, merely a tool, but a friend recommended this to me. He had been told this by a court ordered psychiatrist after he got expelled from school and it helped him.and it has helped me immensely also. Life changing, in fact: We all know the four stages of sleep. They go in...

    Unpopular opinion: I've always found Irish peoples interpretation of other Irish peoples accent to be highly subjective. I believe it's a post colonial thing, but I don't know.

    Minor complaints thread

    Well this is fun. The info board still informs you that 1st class is located at the front of the train. The train that doesn't exist. Next one in thirty minutes. Maybe. There's actually a major complaint relating to this journey. Asahi £7.70

    It's a nice song. But if that was their first ever single it wouldn't appear on the radar at all. So DMP has a point I think re their Dub-a-lin thing.
