I reckon Skiers have a case on that front.the phrase "the race to the bottom"
Reminds me of Italia.the phrase "the race to the bottom"
The thing is they say too much has been spent on pre-contract stuff to turn back now. Possibly a billion or two. But they are quite happy to overspend on new comms equipment for emergency services to the tune of £2.5 BILLION! That's not the cost, that's the fookin' OVERSPEND!!!
Scrap HS2 now!
Just a small sign of the incompetence surrounding this vanity project - too many high up people earning a lot of money for it to be cancelled sadlyThe thing is they say too much has been spent on pre-contract stuff to turn back now.

That's outrageous. I work for a charity that plants trees in basically the Sahara and we have a 70% survival rate. You should just be able to chuck them in and let them get on with it in Warwickshire unless you've done something seriously wrong.HS2 - planted a zillion trees in Warwickshire - mostly dead
Thousands of newly planted HS2 trees deadThat's outrageous. I work for a charity that plants trees in basically the Sahara and we have a 70% survival rate. You should just be able to chuck them in and let them get on with it in Warwickshire unless you've done something seriously wrong.
Yep, up at 7 and in work 9.30 til 7. I'm a consummate professional. Wasn't too bad really just tired.Any good?
I get the same nowadays, clumsy as well.Yep, up at 7 and in work 9.30 til 7. I'm a consummate professional. Wasn't too bad really just tired.
I hate it when people pronounce 'issue' as 'issyou' instead of 'ishoo'.people that say 'ruym', instead of 'room'
e.g. Tarquin is in the dining ruym
Do they have the hand-held units there yet where you scan items as you shop, so when you check out you just hand them the machine?Self-service are great in part because I'm absolute magic at them, proper speed records and all that, but the amount of people who stare at them blankly and have to call someone over puts me off joining a queue. As long as the person at the checkout isn't firing the items at me quicker than I can bag them, I'm happier to queue to be served by a person.
I really like them at Tesco, other than when i get flagged for a "random" check. Saves a lot of farting around re-packing, not to mention queuing for the till.Do they have the hand-held units there yet where you scan items as you shop, so when you check out you just hand them the machine?
I tried one recently, scanned dozens of items and when I got to the last item on my list, the battery in it died.
Turned out to be a complete waste of time. I'd never use one again.
Cunning linguistics there, Rich! You must practice a lot!i prefer cúnt , it sounds more French
la cúnt
I've never heard the former and the latter I haven't heard in years. Seems to have dropped out of use where I am.The use of "upmost" instead of "utmost".
Saw "upmost" used on a notice about professionalism in an NHS hospital the other day ... (SMH)I've never heard the former and the latter I haven't heard in years. Seems to have dropped out of use where I am.
That’s very enlightening for this time in the morning - must have got your goat !People who pronounce the word "advertisement" as "adverTYZEment".
Especially when they are a senior lecturer in marketing & advertising at Coventry University (yes YOU, Lara Chaplin - as heard on BBC C&W this morning). Mind you, her entire interview fell into the "no shit, Sherlock" category! That's what you get if you employ a cinema manager with no relevant qualifications on your academic staff, suppose. #wasteof9grandtuitionfee

At least you didn't say "must OF got ON my goat" - that would REALLY have pissed me off :banghead:That’s very enlightening for this time in the morning - must have got your goat !

Marketing and advertising is a bit of a joke really, no coincidence that it's generally good looking women in the professionPeople who pronounce the word "advertisement" as "adverTYZEment".

It's still infinitely better than "touch base" thoughWorking in a corporate environment all my life it annoys me how the word "liaise" is used in what seems like every meeting. Fuck off. Can't you just say you're off to meet someone, or you're going to talk to so and so.
There's literally no scenario where I choose to use the word 'liaise'.

Or "let's take this offline" in a face-to-face meeting (which is the definition of offline, IMHO!) - my Director is a bugger for saying that!It's still infinitely better than "touch base" though
Struggling to picture that, Nick. But that is quite specific - is this WITHIN useless company meetings, or generally?!Already said it but people who start inhaling their drink about 5 seconds before the cup is at their mouth and then try and just suck the drink out of the cup rather than lifting it so the drink flows?
Guilty, toby fayre I only do it with hot drinks.Already said it but people who start inhaling their drink about 5 seconds before the cup is at their mouth and then try and just suck the drink out of the cup rather than lifting it so the drink flows?
