Eleectronic parking brake has jammed on on my audi. The AA will be required.

Nice looking neighbourhood!

 

What a load of cunts.

Welcome to 21st century Britain. There’s really no hope. Put them down, seriously.

It's 21st century Ireland.

[Wack]

If Ireland get the A bomb at least they know where to test it

[dozeydustman]

Even more reason for post-natal abortion.

No, but check the facts before you react.

No reason to pull an auction though, it's pretty bloody unsporting imo.

eBay has a Second Chance button for a reason.

Try to understand it from the sellers perspective.

Have a read of the ebay thread in the open section to see the problems people have had, personally I've had nothing but grief selling cars on ebay, usually wasting another week after the week listing while it becomes apparent the winning bidder is a waste of time while you have the vehicle sitting there costing tax and insurance - if someone waves cash at me I would end the auction every time.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Still fucked off at work for no apparent reason. Nearly snapped at a few people so took myself somewhere quiet away from others when I had a chance.

 

What does everyone here actually do and do you enjoy it? I work at a school, for context.

NHS IT & the sooner I can make a living without touching a computer/network switch etc the better. It's so bloody boring & annoying because of poor management.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Funny, I was thinking of doing a Comp TIA...

[Guest Hooli]

I've never liked IT, just ended up in it. If you enjoy that stuff it's probably better.

End up doing quite a lot of it by default but I can’t stand users. Not sure it’s a good idea.

 

I’m the right kind of misanthropic bastard, though.

[HH-R]

Absolute radio is always on in the office in some form (80s/90s etc) and it's ok, but fuck me, the adverts... I don't know how I haven't lost it. The urge to smash the radio to smithereens by 10am is almost overwhelming.

 

Sometimes I have to go and work elsewhere to get away, unfortunately the only other place seems to have "What about us" by Pink on a loop.

 

Some adverts I can tune out but the Vivaro and Corsa ones where some annoying know it all answers questions are absolutely doing my tits in.

That's the one good thing about 3rd line, I hardly have to suffer users at all.

[HH-R]

I do second line IT support and I can't wait to get out either. Every day seems to last a week, it is so mind numbingly boring.

Cyber Security dickhead for hire, currently working for a large retail bank in London, living the Alan Partridge dream of budget hotels 3 nights a week

 

Pretty enjoyable mostly.

 

Edit - slum* landlord too

if you set an atom bomb off on that shit hole it would do millions of pounds worth of improvements,

 

just like setting one off over sheffield or bradford..........

" A British brand since 1903"

 

 

FUCK OFF.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I drive people about , usually chatting bollocks about cars, then they give me money. I love it, never going to be rich , but then I've seen enough fucked up rich people to know that's not the most important thing in life.

 

There's actually are ' What do you do for a living !' Thread somewhere.

[chaseracer]

"An American brand since 1925, now with added cheese"

EFA.

 

FUCK OFF.

Indeed.

I had a listen to a bit of UK radio a while back when XM were re-broadcasting Radio 1 on satellite. There was no time delay so listening to Steve Wright just after I had woken up made me want to smash the radio.

 

Thankfully most commercial stations here don't suck and play halfway decent music most of the time and don't talk too much.

 

One of my favorite stations is actually in Spanish, on 850AM which is fine at night but too faint to pick up during the day. Helps that I can hardly understand what they're saying, but it's usually cheerful and enthusiastic and not annoying in the slightest.

 

UK radio needs to take a listen to other countries for inspiration. They say radio is a dying medium there- I can see why. Here is going strong because not every presenter is a complete tool and there's a decent selection to listen to, even here. 

 

On the FM dial from 88 going on up (from memory) there's Christian talk, a jazz station, sports talk, oldies (centered around the 60's for music), more church, a Spanish station, RnB station, sports talk, pop, pop, sports, rock, RnB/rap/noise, all-rounder listen-as-you-work, rock, indy sports, local indy prog rock, sports, pop and sports

 

At night the AM dial lights up around here with music from Mexico, bluegrass, sports, Cuba on a good night (which can be fun to listen to) and a wide variety of every type of religious PopSongs you could wish for.....

 

I struggled to find 6 stations on the entire FM dial when I was last in the UK. AM was totally dead. Does music have to be in Ultra High Def Super Dooper Surround (compressed to shit and coming in at 12.5kbps)?

I know we've spoken about job agencies before and how much a bunch of shysters they are etc... I know this but still decided to cautiously walk down the 'job agency' path as I really need to find some work to enable me to bring wife over...

 

After I'd applied for a suitable job I found, I cautiously accepted some info from this job agency who gave me the usual bollock talk about a nice job in a factory, long hours but a short week = nice weekly £pay enough for me to meet the visa threshold and still have time for myself/hobbies.

 

3 weeks after signing up to said agency I find I'm still being fobbed off with excuses, getting increasingly fed up this I decided to do a bit of digging and find out who the agency's client was. It took me 5 minutes including a phone call to find out who they were. I have now applied directly and explained the circumstances surrounding my application and the agency involved. I may get a response, I may not.

 

Also, grump-wise. Whilst I know that TV is mainly bullshit these days, some scaffolding has been put up which has blocked my satallite signal. The box was getting some stations enough to keep me entertained but bollock-brain here decided to unplug the box and now I can't get a single channel, even terrestrial TV isn't showing up. I called the company (eventually because thier signs have a couple of digits incorrectly placed) and left a message, I can't see them bothering with my request, they even spell thier own phone number...

 

At least I've still got internet which i didn't have a couple of weeks ago.

I would be amazed if it actually meant they were cheaper than earlier today or CP4L

 

ECP/CP4L pricing is a joke.

All you lot complaining about having to listen to Radio 1 at work don't know how good you've got it...

 

~wavy lines~

 

Its 2004, and my girlfriend has decided to use the day I get back from uni for Christmas holidays to dump me. Faced with the four weeks of dry roasted peanuts and passive-aggressive sniping that is a family Christmas, I decided to get a job. Any job. So I ended up stacking shelves in the chilled aisle at Tesco, being asked if we'd sold out of sprouts every ten minutes (yes, we're not hiding them by the puff pastry). 

 

Now, this meant Tesco playing their own Christmas mix CD. And Track 1 was 'Stay Another Day' by East 17. How do I know this?

 

'Baby if you've got to go away / I don't think / I can take the pain / Won't you stay another day / Oh don't leave me alone like this / Don't say it's the f...'

 

Bing bong! 'All available cashiers to the tills, please'

 

'Baby if you've got to go away / I don't think / I can t...'

 

Bing bong! 'If you want a fruity treat this Christmas, come to aisle 13 where there's 50p off Tesco deep-fill mince pies!'

 

''Baby if you've g...'

 

Yep, it started from the beginning EVERY PISSING TIME SOMEONE USED THE TANNOY. Track 2 was Rockin' Robin, providing sweet relief three or four times a day. Track 3 was Slade, which happened once, ever, but along with the fact my rabbit looks like Noddy Holder is probably the reason Merry Christmas Everybody is my favourite Christmas song. I like to think Track 4 was 'Just Like Chistmas' by Low, but its probably better I never found out as I'm not sure I'd have got over the crushing disappointment when it turned out to be Mariah bastard Carey.

Fucking hell. Replace NHS with University and third line with second line and you're just an older version of me.

 

My degree is in Sustainable Environmental Management, I still don't entirely know how I ended up as a network technician!

 

The management at my job are also hopeless.

[beko1987]

Would have saved £13 with no effort. But I was clever* and paid for next day shipping from cp4l so I can't cancel and re-order.

 

Ill just go back into my corner and grumble. Half of me thinks it's just sent it to me as it knows I've been on all 3 within 2 minutes looking at batteries! Bit fecking late now isn't it, should have sent it when I was looking...
