There's a bloke in my office who had an excuse of cough on Monday took yesterday off, is in today, and keeps putting on and taking off a jumper in a vain attempt to gain sympathy from the rest of the staff, by proclaiming loudly that he feels a fever coming on. He is known lovingly as "sicknote" by those who know him well.

People coming into work when they are quite obviously sick. How self-importantly obsessed with the urgency of your job do you have to be to put other people?s health at risk? My health is more important than anyone?s job (bar perhaps a paramedic or midwife or something along those lines). I will never understand how the suited millions have this deluded sense of their own importance.

Blimey Jah, there's a blast from the past. Good player, unfortunately spent more time on the treatment table than on the pitch. Where is he now? I remember he was always known as a luxury player.

He's Bournemouth Captain, and he'll only be 36 next month, so not too old to play a bit at that level.


Aaaanyway, I've had enough of the crappy heating/air con in my office!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a fecking germ farm in here, and they have sealed all the bloody windows, I feel like I'm working in a plane.

If it's any consolation, my office is exactly the same!! And I've had enough of it, butthe I'd rather be in a job than out of one so I'm making the best of what I've got, and it ain't easy!!

poxy office work, management roles mostly, boring as feck but that, and owning/running my own businesses is all I know, the only trouble is I don't currently have enough dosh to open a business, which is far more rewarding.

... returned post with huge stickers over the address - how the hell is one meant to remove the person from the database when you don't know who they are! I'm aint no fooking mind reader! (6) soz I hurt my finger trying to peel the stickers off and am now grrr :-$

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
    • Have you ever considered your own motivations?
