It's not just since covid. I used to be in the exhibition industry and I can go back 20 years to the 2 hotels at the Excel site as an example. We wanted to do an early booking to get our crew in for the build up to the car show - questioned the price '' but thats loads more than your website states'' to be told '' but there's a big exhibition on then '' They knew that everyone staying were the exhibitors and therefore didn't care as it would all be on company accounts. In the bar , getting a round, I was served pints, which were 80% beer and 20% froth. On questioning the bar manager said it was correct whilst he showed me the two finger width method to measure from the top of the glass! He was a big chubby guy and wasn't pleased when I asked if the girl ( who was tiny and skinny ) could do the measurung.. ( I didn't have her do it, stuck it out and got all filled to the top)
Watched the grandson play football today and on the way there he told me that he supported Sunderland, when I asked why he told me "I have to!" My task is now complete
Had Sky sports news on yesterday. Is it me, or are the presenters starting to look like the news readers from Batman 89 when the joker tells everyone there's a deadly nerve agent in cosmetic products so the stop using them. So called respected sports news channel and some of the presenters need their hair brushing, unshaven, half arsed dressed, look like they're off out with the lads straight after and pretty much look like they don't care. Just an observation like.
I’m not interested in all this “Alexa” thing , but surely the tech is there to get her to “ Alexa- toilet seat up” “ Alexa-toilet seat down” and put an end to the argument ?
They were going on about Toney scoring for Brentford on Friday night on the radio. Commentator basically said has there ever been a striker bought for such a bargain doing what Toney is doing, instantly looked at the radio and said "Kevin Phillips". That is all.
First proper visit to the deaf club pre game yesterday and it was very good. Footy on the TV and quick service even when it got busy. Would recommend it
I was wondering about lorry drivers earlier. We were 60000-100000 short and were supposedly in big trouble. So, have we found a load of lorry drivers ( in which case can the media not report such good news) , or was it just exaggeration by the media and the industry
That was a reply I gave Sunderpitt when prices started to go through the roof and we were told we were a 100,000 drivers short. No it's not that mate, fuel tanker drivers are paid way above your ordinary lorry drivers, 2 lads I know drive the tanker lorries and they reckon there is a queue of drivers waiting for any lad to leave, wait until fuel reaches £1.45/1.47 and hey presto there won't be a driver shortage then. We continually get took in by the thieving bastards.
On this day . . . . Wednesday October 19th, 2005 The Iraqi Special Tribunal started the trial of deposed President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and 7 other defendants for crimes against humanity. Hussein, who was the fifth President of Iraq, was found guilty, and executed by hanging a year later on December 30th, 2006. It seems like this psychopath, although he was obviously an evil man with similarities to Putin, helped to keep relative peace in the middle east (compared to now)
Is there a way to put a poster on ignore but still view a thread they started which was their one good contribution to the board?
All I can think is, when Superman was originally looking for something to put on his face, the first thing that popped into his head was "Gimpmask". Apparently he went into down town small vill determined to get a gimp mask, but as he approached the sex shop, his arse fell out so he swiftly went into Specsavers next door.
