I noticed my second most least favourite TV chef, Gino D'Acampo, promoting his new range in the Asda brochure I've been delivering all week. I must say he's inspired me!
I'm gonna start by noshing on Nonna's Focaccia followed by biting Mia's Meatballs. Fantastico!

Now I love a good Chinese/Amazon branded product as much as the next person. Especially when it gets all 5 star reviews. But when I received the gift of a WhizzBang 12 in 1 multifunction blender, I have to say I was a bit dubious...

Bated is a good example of language evolution, first used as a shortened form of abated it's now more commonly used as an abbreviation or slang term for masturbated.

It puts a whole new spin on the phrase bated breath.

When Mr Smith shouted after me "Have you got my jazz mag?!", I thought he was pulling my trouser leg....turns out there was a special feature on 'flutter-tonguing' in that months edition.

I'm in disbelief, but actor Michael K. Williams was found dead a short time ago. A suspected drug overdose. :sad:

He was brilliant as Omar Little in the classic HBO series, 'The Wire'.

Variety (Sept. 6, 2021) ~
Michael K. Williams, Star of ‘The Wire’ and ‘Boardwalk Empire,’ Found Dead at 54

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Carl Maden: "...the members would be better contacting their CWU rep and getting proper advice."

Is Carl serious? The CWU have run away and are currently in hiding. Our rep admitted the other day that his superiors in the CWU don't reply to him when he needs their proper advice.

I quit the CWU a couple of years ago because too often our previous rep sucked up to the RM managers in our office. Since he left, I took my colleagues advice to rejoin the CWU because (in my co-workers words) "you never know when you'll need them." Well, since I've rejoined, the actual truth is I never know where I can find them!

I really don't know why I've gone back to paying the weekly membership fee to these grifters. :evil/mad

Now I love a good Chinese/Amazon branded product as much as the next fellow. Even more so when it gets all 5 star reviews. So when I spotted the TurdPoke 3 in 1 multi-wet toilet brush at the bargain price of £1.37 including delivery...Well! You can imagine......
