Isn't that the one when you shiver one out with a belt around your neck?

Oh, come on. I bet they are stood in an orderly queue outside OPs mudhut every morning.
Exactly this. My Stag was going to Bristol and going to lots of pubs. Perfect.
Jesus man, you don't ask them directly. Even after a drunken hand shandy!
I'm with Alex on this. This is why old game pads had the cable coming from the top, not the bottom.
School start time: 8:45 Normal office start time: 8 School finish time: 3pm Normal office finish time: 5 Oh yeah, I can see how that works now.
I'm pretty confident that my team and I are adding value since without us the infrastructure would never be built.
It's a single example of why it could be good as an option. I think you are missing the "option" point here. Please, feel free to continue arriving at work at an arbitrary time.
Well, they pay me handsomely for doing it, so who am I to argue.
There is also a huge contingent of people who have to race to put children in breakfast clubs and then race through traffic to clock in at an arbitrary time to do a job they could easily do out of the office. There is no "one size fits all" here. But there could be more options if available.
Flying whales - Gojira, for my daughter.
This is exactly my point. How much easier would commuting be for those that really had to be physically present at a specific time if those of us who didn't where not sat in the same life sapping traffic jam every single morning and evening. Was your WFH job a real job?
Hence "The Lions share of the infrastructure is already there" Sure, the the grid would collapse if we all switched to EV overnight, but that would not happen. It's much easier for us to gradually improve the grid in Pace with accelerated EV take up than fix the damage caused by ICE transport.
Weird, I work as a Design engineer in the energy supply sector, and own an EV. I've never seen any need for "Firehoses" let alone 20. I think you might be confusing them for something else.
Obviously it doesn't work for plumbers, but it really could for a fair proportion of the workforce. Why are we mangling the environment to fight everyone in rush hour to get to the same place at a given time? Flexible working could help the transport system and your mental heath. It helped mine.
How is having a sensible approach to the working day not a "real job"?
This is not a crazy idea. Have you seen the price of 20 fags these days? Worked for cigarettes, why not fossil fuels.
You live in a country where pretty much every building is already hooked up to the electrical grid. The lions share of the infrastructure is already there.
If we built a society that revolved around how public transport worked rather that arbitrary having to clock in at 8AM sharp, this could work. I WFH and have core hours of 10AM - 3PM. I have to do 8 hours around this as they suit my other commitments. Find a better boss, not better transport.
And the ever present waft of human shit
What's ya dough recipe? Mine is shite.
BP turning their logo into a green flower is straight up taking the piss.
This is true. I'm already old as balls. One one hot girl wants to shag me these days, and I'm cool with that. That's why I married her.
Oh no! Now all the hot girls won't wanna shag me as I parade my 70 y/o body up and down the beach! Who gives a fuck
I think you are confusing tattoos for personalised numberplates
My dad, on me getting my first tattoo "What will you look like when you are 70?" Me:"fucking awesome"
Bloody Nora!
Yeah, I'm struggling to like it. I really want to like it, but something feels off.
Used to be the fire safety guy at a small company. Boss refused to replace the extinguishers for the proper type. In my fire training I was advised to Bcc my personal email into any requests. Great advice.
I'm no fan of Jeremy Clarkson and disagree with the implication, but, I did laugh when he asked Krishnan Guru-Murthy "How hard can it be to sit in front of a camera every night and read the Guardian out loud?"
A bit sweeping, But I know one gentle parenting kid, and he is a fucking arse.
My last resignation: Boss:"So how much is this new place offering" Me, smiling:"Oh, it's not the money"
But.... Wouldn't the fact you lied about your health/weight on the application kinda put you on dodgy grounds for claiming harm?
Hard agree. Skintight lycra on fit women being socially acceptable is absolutely fantastic.
Lived in LA, one of the girls I knew asked if anyone had a "Dutch oven" she could use. As the only Brit present I absolutely wet myself. Still no idea what they think it is, but they all left that night thinking Brits were even weirder than they had thought previously.
Someone has never listened to TOOL
I've never done the day drinking part while WFH. Probably still over the limit from the night before a couple of times, though. Might try that today.
Yeah, I had a smart meter fitted. The installer messed up the readings. Invited them to visit my house numerous times to prove I hadn't built a fully automated factory on my back garden that month.
Just be fat and buy one of those sunflower lanyards off Amazon. Hey presto, queue jumping!
Seconded. Had a 2 year fight with BG about the very logic that randomly one month I'd managed to use £5k worth of electricity. Moved to octopus and its been smooth sailing since.
In fairness, I begrudgingly opened a Monzo account about a year ago and it absolutely pisses all over my Nationwide account.
We are a confused generation with one foot in chivalry and one foot in full equality.
I dunno, not sure if I'd get away on this technicality with my wife if she discovered I'd been out on 5 dates and a couple of sleepovers.
The *fanny side, surely?
Seconded. The impending birth of my first child absolutely grounded me. I can't even begin to empathise the overnight mental, physical and financial changes the took place in me knowing I was now responsible for another human beings welfare. Its night and day. She saved me.
Last couple of root canals? Brush your teeth, man!
Who takes their GF to Maccys? We're talking posh places, like Nandos.
It sometimes felt like that. One of the main reasons she is now an Ex.
Me, several years ago, to my now Ex "youve never worn that cool dress I bought you for xmas" Her"thats because youve not taken me somewhere nice!" Me "because consistently over the last 5 years EVERY time I've booked a table, you have taken so long to get ready that we've ended up losing the table!"
I'm currently enjoying my annual mandatory "How to sit on a chair correctly" training for my WFH office job.
Oh, there's judgement alright at a breakfast buffet.
We couldn't buy a house because boomers were sat in them complaining about the younger generation not paying their heating bills for them. So we turned from material wealth to inner wealth, and in a way, this made us a happier, more rounded generation.
Well, someone has never heard of Fent.
Rich beef sausages
It really is.
It does have its downsides, but I do spend most of my working day wanking and painting 40k miniatures, so there's that.
What, 50.3Kg? Maybe it's the same cleaner.
Our company has mandated this recently. We all work remotely and one of our colleagues topped himself without warning. We've been asked to look out for each other a bit more.
In retrospect, think he may have been spot on.
I don't hate me job. Don't get me wrong, I don't love it, but hate? Nah. It's OK. WFH, flexitime, great pay, and workload is utterly acceptable. Even quite like my workmates.
Much as this is not my ideal, surely, if you're going to do this then you should do it with minimal effort. My brother did this in Spain, and then a couple of months later, flew to Cuba to sit next to a pool. Fucking madness. Literally interchangeable experience except the price and jetlag.
You can find out who used the work microwave last by just entering 1471 on the numberpad
Wise words, Alice. Wise words indeed.
Oh, this so much. Strictly speaking, I'm a "Director", but I'm the only member of staff for my company, I never tell people I'm a Director. Ludicrous title. By that logic I'm also the office cleaner and tea boy.
The easier solution to phones at gigs would be to do what we did in the 90s when some drunk girl got on someone's shoulders and blocked everyone's view, which was to throw bottles half filled with piss at them until they were pummelled out of the way.
That's fantastic
The thing that grates me the most about Top Gun is Maverick's nickname being Maverick because he is a bit of a Maverick. Yanks are shit at nicknames. If it were a British film his handle would have been something much more imaginative, "Captain Sensible", for example.
Pretty convinced that they decided to air it in the end just so we could all enjoy seeing Katie Hopkins long lost twin sister completely fuck it up.
That probably why I'm a destitute migrant rather than a reasonably well off land owne...wait a minute!
No.
Pah, you sound like a right radical capitali.....wait!
Yeah, saw one parked up yesterday. Not Impressed.
Was forced to use the ol wankbank last night. Was like visiting an old friend, only with tits (C cup and below)
I cannot argue with this logic
Married men don't have sex, or indeed, make their wife climax. I call shenanigans
I'm no football fan, but at least with womens football the players are beautiful, they actually win shit and their success upsets exactly the right people. I'm all for it.
I once worked with a guy who opined that "That's what I call music 4" was the greatest album of all time.
I think you utterly missed the point of blackfish.
Early on I came to the realisation that worrying about my "size" would only make it smaller and less efficient. If a lady is coming back for more, then that probably a good sign.
Imagine all the people
Jeez, we were interested in a house because the front picture looked like it had a football pitch sized front garden. Did a drive by and realised it was only about 2 metres wide. Was equally angry and impressed by this photographic trickery.
Disgusting opin: you absolutely missed the greatest perk, blue badge. Park pretty much wherever you want.
You forgot 'Honest Ron'
Imagine a world where you had to take a selfie before you posted any "stop the boats" rhetoric.
I was asked for a age verification selfie for bluesky recently and I only use it for fesshole and anonopion.
Yet, I bet this guy is single because he's not quite 6 feet tall.
Yeah, his job was essentially a caretaker.
Used to have a convertible. Also have long, blak hair. The best part of motorway driving was the look of sheer disappointment on the faces of van drivers (mostly) when they caught me up to overtake and the beard revealed I wasn't a hot lady.
Top Gear absolutely jumped the shark and needed to die. Grand Tour tried to replicate the good bits of Top Gear and failed because it continued to overscript "spontaneous incidents" badly. Clarksons Farm has saved his career.
I've never considered him as a terrible PM (apart from being a tory) but I think it's just because I'm comparing him to the previous two PMs.
If this is the Durex cherry lube we tried, then you'll be scraping a sticky mess the consistency of honey out of this bearings before daybreak, while fight off wasps, probably.
^ this is my favourite reply of the day
They aren't really AI though are they. That's like saying F1 racing will never take off because you had a quick spin on a rusty skateboard.
She really was. It was confusing.
Terry Nutkins after they transitioned.
"Had to" needs a damn good explanation, young man!

I'm no doctor, but pretty sure eating deep fried fat isn't gunna help your waistline.
Mine was deploying a joke about Trerry Nutkins hair on the event of his death, only to be met with "Who's Trerry Nutkins?"
