Norma

I have to give a month's notice ... so unfortunately I must work until mid July!!! :arrr:

 

Norma

Oh boy..... :blink: :blink:

Oh boy..... :blink: :blink:

 

You sound confused? When one packs their job in in the States ... do they just leave? In the UK - you have to work a period of notice. Is this just a British custom?

I've seen people work just a couple of hours, get into a tiff with someone, pack it in, and say sod it.... <_<

 

I've had it happen to me, where I was sacked within a week, and within a 90 day 'probationary period'..... :unsure: :unsure:

The only job that I've had where I've said 'sod off' and gone within the hour was when I was cleaning about 20 years ago (job tied in with husband's job). I think my exact words to my boss (or the boss's wife) were 'Iron your own f*cking knickers then'.

 

Norma

I'm off to the land of nod now! Night night everyone!

 

Norma

Eh, so much for the non-TT B&I's here in the TT forum.....but, I suppose it was too good to keep on with.....I don't mind having the Roy Orbison and Hitch B&U's shut down here.....must keep the harmony flowing here at buzz....

 

 

On a side note: I'm in bug trouble at my favourite pub over here....they just recently, within the past 2 weeks, started serving liquor, along with the beer and wine....this pub, up until now, was solely beer and wine..... :unsure:

Well, in fairness you could do Roy Orbison in Retro and Hitch in Cinema, so not all is lost. :P

No I've not done a TT b-sides B&I purely because with the exception of a couple most of them are awful! And I'm saying that as a Take That fan. The best B sides have been 'Beautiful Morning' (Patience) and 'We All Fall Down' (I'd Wait For Life) - believe me - the others were just put there out of duty.

 

When I've posted anything slightly wacky in the Lounge (like - 'what kind of biscuit are you', 'what kind of footwear are you', 'what kind of sausage are you', etc - they all exist - you'll have to track back about a year ago in The Lounge) I was told to stop posting nonsense - which is why I thought nonsense posts would be ok in here. It seems people have been spying in on what we do here - without even bothering to post anything - and then snitching on us! :lol:

 

So - without further ado (well tomorrow anyway - I'm off to a pub quiz now) I'm going to start those B&I's in different threads. We'll spread them through Retro and The Lounge. If we have any strongly related film ones - we'll put them in there. I have to say though - that Mushymanrob - the mod for retro is a bit territorial with his patch and tends to act a bit like a rottweiller. I can say that in safety as I know he never posts in here and he'll never find out what I've said about him! :lol:

I would tend to agree with you, Norma, about Mushymanrob.....in reading some of his posts in the Lounge, and Perspectives/World News, he's a bit bulldoggish there, as well, in reading some of his posts.....nothing wrong with having a strong opinion on some subjects, but, I think he tends to go a bit over the top sometimes.... :rolleyes:

I think its all a facade with him! I think he's a big softie! I can imagine him sitting at home on a Friday evening in his fluffy dressing gown and matching slippers watching Come Dine With Me, sipping hot chocolate and flickiing nonchalently through his Practical Gardening Magazine! :lol: It was a real shame though how they closed the lip-synching thread he had going - it was pure entertainment for 23 pages! :lol:

 

I'm off now ... wish me luck in the quiz. If I get back before midnight - I'll do a quick post to let you know if we've won!
