My eldest loved it. Coming from Bedduff it was a fashion Mecca. Think it’s gone on her list for uni consideration just for the shops.

We stopped on the way back from Cornwall a few years ago, they were charging for everything, refused to pay the £1 for the pier, decided to just get an ice cream and straight back in the car, the place was absolutely deserted.

Never been. Went to Deal camping a few years back, never having been to Kent before (except passing through to get the ferry). Really lovely places (except Margate, which was a hell-hole).
Might try Brighton some day.
Wessun (as we Bristolians call it) has really gone down the toilet in recent years. Cheaper to go to Spain or the Algarve.

Banksy scribbling his way round London. Don’t know why, but he irritates me.

Supposing ... Subversive genius Banksy is actually rubbish | Banksy | The Guardian
<b>Charlie Brooker:</b> Here's a mystery for you. Renegade urban graffiti artist Banksy is clearly a guffhead of massive proportions, yet he's often feted as a genius straddling the bleeding edge of now. Why? Because his work looks dazzlingly clever to idiots. And apparently that'll do.

I always get annoyed when people at work say they’re going to “liaise” with someone. I’m convinced it’s a word people only use in a work setting
Just say you spoke to someone

Did they liaise offline before touching base with the group for a scrum, assuming everyone has the bandwidth?

Yea, corporate lingo is bizarre. I refuse to participate.

Yeah, I work in IT and find it weird.
It's like when I had to go to my first "stand up" and every fucker sat down.

Dressing in themed costumes, like penguins, for just an ordinary social event. Why?
Receiving pictures of these hilarious happenings, which you have no interest in, on social media. Why?
Being expected to respond with LOLs and congratulations for your outrageous humour. My God, how original. You are a comedy genius!! OMG
Listening to frequent reminiscing about these goings on for all eternity and painfully weak 'running jokes'.
Annoying references to ME being the one with no sense of humour.

I don't work in IT but did some software procurement a few years ago as part of a wider programme of work. The cretins running the programme tried to impose agile project management methodology on everything, it was a farce.
Stand ups, retros etc, all necessary to engage often introverted developers but meant nothing to me. Asking me what I'm doing in my next sprint

Agile definitely up there at the moment. Hear it frequently. Disruptor another classic. In fact so many want to disrupt the market must be all over the place. We also have a lot of triage going on at the moment which I'd only ever heard of in A&E.

Always liked the word triage (and moist). Images of a mucky threesome.

We have a lot of triage going on, whilst good in principle it's another step that actually prevents anything being fixed. To use a bulshit bingo term the "process" is a "blocker".

It’s got crazily expensive since I left. I went in the Pond for a pint last time I was there and it cost £9 for an IPA.

Parents not in control of their kids. Mum with a pushchair, and two other little kids in front on a scooter and a bike. One on the scooter particularly out of control veers out right in front of my 18 tonner. VERY fortunately it was a tight road so I was already going slow.
Otherwise it’s a dead, squashed unrecognisable child. And me in jail.
FUCKING CONTROL YOUR KIDS!

You'd think with the scope the police have finding people, they'd be able to nab a vandal?
It's usually code that they're past and safe to pull back in!

I meant flashing the opposite sides of the road lol
Oh blinding!!
Of course back in the day they uses have an effort on bends at least mounted on the top of central reservations to prevent you getting an eyefull from the opposite direction.
Suppose it seems like safety isn't so important now, what with the lack of them and the increase in power of said lights!
