When everyone tries to do everything it all goes wrong very quickly. Facilities lady is right to give you a flat no. And you are right to accept it. There are reasons for these frustrating rules. I often shout "Systemic Issue" at work. How did you beat your swim time by that much?

Please don't try to make me that guy. No one here is that guy, that's why we're here. I have no idea what time zone you inhabit. I did assume, and that was incorrect. But hey, be big on the internet anyway, any time you want. Nevermind timezones, this conversation feels like time travel back...

Knowing the shortcuts around your workplace is definitely a big good thing. Like you're somehow cheating the system or something. It happens a lot in my line of work, where it's all wristbands and passes and I just show up through the other door. I didn't trespass or break in, I just illustrated...

My ignorance is on full display. I did say I was going on what others have told me. I would have thought that implied an admission that I don't know myself. But hey, you go ahead and feel big on the internet at 01:00 in the morning.

Is this boards.ie?

18%,but that takes it to a nice round number. 50% was never really feasible, and I'm a rubbish negotiater. I obviously would have liked more, but I couldn't quibble about an extra ten or fifteen quid a day. The next chat will take place sooner than this one. By which point I may be able to...

But that doesn't explain the non braindeads, like my mate, who seems to have gotten swept up in it.

Not mine, but I was at a younglings birthday party yesterday. It was in a pub with arcade machines. At some point my mates kid asked, with irrefutable rapscallion-ness, "can you give us money for air hockey?". Two quid for three minutes. Him and his little brother and another girl. It was 2-0...

Well I said "Napoli would intimidate a lot of people". Personally I loved it. The carabinieri were more worrying than any citizen. Handsome armed bastard's that they are. Never been to Poland or Romania, just going on what others have told me. Definitely had agg in Istanbul and Rome. And some...

Germany based friend has been taken in people claiming the "extreme left" are allowing criminals into the UK etc etc. I am an ass-hat, apparently. It's sad to see.h Him being Germany based, he has a unique point of view, Germany has it's own immigration/integration issues. But he's dead wrong...

I suppose they are. I thought Rome and Istanbul (if that counts) were hairy. Napoli would intimidate a lot of people. I've heard nothing but bad things about Marseille. And everything in Poland and Romania. Maybe the Hungarians are trying to prove a point about being better than the rest of post...

I'm half keen myself to be honest. On tv it looked like a great time. My dedicated wrestling mate says there are still good seats still available in good positions at good-ish prices. And the match-ups are, to quote him "GOOD". He seems to say good a lot, but he actually means genuinely good...

Have you used them yet though? It is Liddells after all....

I don't normally watch AEW, but I did last night when I fell into the gaff. There is apparently this English character who hates this smug guy who calls himself an all American Hero. And then some Australian fella ran in and battered someone. Both the brit and the aussie espoused the benefits of...

Is there a way of ignoring a thread? To make it look to me like it doesn't exist at all?

The filth.

Indeed, this is the sort of shenanigans I should have been doing in my 20's. But I was intimidated by all those muso people who post on things like thumped.com.

I think I diagnosed it in the end. Excessive dancing and a misjudged dose of shrooms. I'd forgotten about that. Feel pretty good now.

It wasn't a catastrophe, just a stupid, but a stupid I wouldn't have done but for other things. Line manager is on my side. And the other guy did a master class in skiving, making me look better. God bless these guys who work so hard at not working.

My line manager told me "consider your negotiating position and phone the boss. He's waiting for you to phone him today".* This is with regards to a raise, 15-50%, depending on what gets spoken about. Thennnnn, I messed up what I was doing today and looked like a fool, didn't have time to...
