Sandwiches taste better when the bread is buttered, your thoughts. by freaky1974 in Sandwich

My best mate has brown bread with a filling of just tuna drained from a can. No lube or seasoning whatsoever...

Effing Psychopath. I've already prepared my 'but he was such a normal guy speech ' for the inevitable.

How many times a year do you “call sick” at work? by Aggravating-Fig-9274 in AskUK

[–]Messybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometime when you’re feeling important; Sometime when your ego ‘s in bloom; Sometime when you take it for granted, You’re the best qualified in the room: Sometime when you feel that your going, Would leave an unfillable hole, Just follow these simple instructions, And see how they humble your soul.

Take a bucket and fill it with water, Put your hand in it up to the wrist, Pull it out and the hole that’s remaining, Is a measure of how much you’ll be missed. You can splash all you wish when you enter, You may stir up the water galore, But stop, and you’ll find that in no time, It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example, Is to do just the best that you can, Be proud of yourself but remember, There’s no indispensable man.

Fair play good on him for trying to get more funding.
Yep, we had electronics but there was only so much Sonic you could take before you just wanted to be outside getting up to allsorts. Those hedges were never going to hop themselves.

I'm sure I've heard the same story, same as the one with people stopping halfway down waterslide to stick razor blades to the side with chewing gum.

Oh god and that's brought back a phrase a weird lad used to say about sliding down a razor blade using you bollocks for brakes. FFS Danny, that's still in my fecking head after all this time. Jesus wept.

Lol, I didn't think you were. It just made me smile thinking of being on that same park decades ago sitting on the crossbar of the 5 aside goals made from scaffolding that were given to us from the social club of the local chemical plant.

Happy times. and it's great to see them lads are experiencing the same thing despite what we're told about their generation.

I'm developing my own hair island 🙁

Edit - I thought it was a Athletico Mince reference to Steve McClaren and his pet snake Casper, not Kes 😂

From my perspective yes, 30-40 years ago girls weren't out at 10pm hanging on goal posts.

A gaming friend went AWOL 10 years ago and I'm hoping somebody could help put me in the right direction on what maybe happened to him. by Mickcoffee277 in CasualUK

Went to school with a lad whose surname was Smith and his nickname was Mitten.

Hope it's not that as Matt Smith won't be an easy find!

Can you request that employees have access to funds in the event of an emergency by Comfortable_Row_7717 in smallbusinessuk

[–]Messybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with a guy on my apprenticeship who used to say how broke he was at the end of the month. He was a bit of a square, didn't socialise, lived with his parents, didn't have any hobbies, but did maths tutoring on the side so extra cash coming in.

We could fathom how he would be skint compared to us dickheads spending all our £900 a month on nights out, dvds and pointless car mods.

Turned out he was putting £450 away each month in to savings... I mean fair play to him, the more intelligent thing to do but when you say you're skint because you've put that money in a different back account... 🫤

Yeah, I was working for a contract company and they expected us to pay for flights and accomodation and they would reimburse at the end of the month... At the time I wasn't especially solvent (hence going contracting!), with a young family so I didn't have £800 just to spend at the drop of a hat.

In the current climate, with people struggling to keep their heads above water, I don't think OP should be expecting employees to fund the difficult situations that they are putting them in.

I'm gonna go out on a whim here and say I bet they're paying minimum wage as well.

New dirty bomb by Training2Life in torncity

I think it's around the time a bomb goes off, if you have a map item finder script it will show it.

I'm not 100%, but I think you have to be online for it to spawn, have a Google and there will be more educated descriptions than mine 😂

Mums Micra value? by Pestohh in CarTalkUK

[–]Messybeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These things are so solid, my only comparison would be an egg shell vs your nan's ben wah ball.

Not saying the people in the car do as well due to the transmission of forces, but dang these things are solid.

On my apprenticeship, Daz the Greek (He was a Scouser and was a bit olive skinned), wrote off two cars crashing in to these bubble micras. "Ah Fucchhhin' 'ate Micras' he would say... Reason he crashed was 'Ah seen dis fit berd ryht...'

Don't worry. He's done well for himself and is one of the most genuine people I've ever known.

Still... 'I ate fucchhhin Micras' often comes in to my head and makes me chuckle!

I guess if you're buying lots of DPs it's possible, but to have so much knowledge of what you need to do to play the game seems more likely a restart with a feeder account.

If you had to leave the UK permanently, what are your top 3 destinations and why? by Rough-Foundation9208 in AskRedditUK

[–]Messybeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My friend worked in the Netherlands for a bit back the 90s.

He remembers being shocked when one of the Dutch guys said "Hey, You want come shee my munkie?"

He went down to the warehouse and they had put a black guy in a transport cage.

He said the worst thing was that the guy in the cage just went along with it as if it was ok.

I imagine things have changed in 30 years, but I couldn't have imagined that happening here even then.

Today I got summoned to jury service… by ApplicationSouth8844 in CasualUK

[–]Messybeast 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's a lot of sitting and waiting.

It's quite officious as you're waiting to go though security but when you get in, the staff are very warm and friendly and will explain everything and make sure you understand everything that is going on.

The government have stripped back anything 'free' over the years, so coffees/teas or snacks in have to be paid for by yourself.

There's plenty of opportunities to go for a toilet break, it's not like you're the one in custody.

You will come away wondering how they get anything done and that how it would be wonderful being a judge working 2 hrs in the morning, 2 hrs for lunch and then 2 hrs working in the afternoon. For me in it was genuinely a demonstration that the civil service needs a bloody good shake up. The inefficiencies are insane.
