So your not from the Forest of Dean then?


Wurzel's best post so far by a mile. Hilarious, thank you!

I never want to see another credit card as long as I live.

Well, I had the benefit of cheap rent to enable me to do it. I was in a bit of schtuck with it all six months ago.

Nothing like exhorbitant interest rates, periodical rates and annual percentage rates to make one's blood pressure skyrocket. The greedy bastards

We have company equipment forms at work, on which employees must fill out any equipment they take away with them on a regular basis (laptops, etc.) We've just given printers to a load of our reps, so I was looking at some of these forms today and one of the columns is labelled 'reason', which you are obviously supposed to put what you need the equipment for (which, granted, is kinda obvious for most of the equipment and really is just corporate bollocks). One of that had put 'business' down as the reason for every item on his form.

My Parents have just (Like this last fortnight) signed divorce papers, and my Mum was reading it through and where it said 'Please list any children of this marriage', my Dad had written 'None'. When my mum pointed this out to him he said "Well they're hardly children anymore are they?"

Someone sent this to me today. It's an old job listing from a local recruitment agency and has been taken down - presumably they found someone to fill the post!

It should have been listed as "Stick operative required to poke stuff - no previous experience required" as it was in the subject of the email I received.

It made me chuckle anyway!

Going swimming later is making me smile (yahoooo)... I've had quite a stressful week, with 2 steps forward, 100 back, and I'm glad it's the weekend :-)
