Well it's more about why it's happening really.
It's certainly not normal is it?

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

Appraisals and all the management speak bollocks that goes with them! In all the years I've wasted my team doing these things no change has ever come out of it, not that i've wanted change which is why i cant answer career development questions as I dont want to develop it. At our place they are ju...

Re: This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

The correct way to clear your name would be a retrial.

Delaying judgement until it expires or being pardoned are just ways of avoiding the law. Only someone guilty would do that. I think we all know what's happening here.

Other teams should be allowed to moon them, or mockingly 'wank on the back' of a teammate as a response.

Tripped over when jogging this morning, one of those ones where you don't realise you've done anything until you find yourself spread out on the street looking at the sky. :roll: Of course I just carried on as before, so the fecker hasn't really healed up. My missus reminds me that if I'd done as I...

Re: Control screen/unit to act as a Jukebox??

Back in the day (say 10 years ago) before I became a slave to Spotify, I used MediaMonkey to import / categorize all my CDs - worked pretty well.

"Sunday driver" cars, where you're not going very far, that look the part and are maintenance free seems an ideal base for the weekend toy in electric.

Re: Recommend a Bluetooth speaker - old Bose speaker to phone 😡

I have loads of CDs too, they're all in the loft! I signed my life away to Spotify because in the end the convenience outweighs the cost. It took me a fair while to get over listening to everything 'as an album', like us old folks are used to, but I'm over it now. We also have one of those Bose spea...

So the story just gained momentum. * And I've heard Trump and Boris use exactly that very careful phrasing. And epitomises X 'free speech'.

Post on twitter init And this is the problem with all media once it's editorial line has been exposed. The BBC (and all MSM somehow) is seen as left leaning, therefore nobody right of that will go there for News. The ones that do, don't think it's particularly left-leaning. Twitter is seen as right...

Re: A Father’s Pride: WiMoto ‘Alfonso’ BMW R100RT

I'd change the front end (or at least raise those droopy headlights) and probably give it a different paint job. Ask me again after.

But the main problem is that while I'm ok with the side-on view, it looks really terrible from the front, and the back, and from the 3/4 view.

Re: 2029 general election results prediction.

Of course Farage wants PR, right up until the point that it doesn't work in his favour anyway. ;) And the whole thing probably puts us on the road to devolution, the breakup of the UK.

Re: Dope...

Personally, I find booze, fags and weed equally addictive. You have to want to break the addiction. Fags and weed are less socially acceptable, so there's some motivation to pack those in or at least do it in moderation. But of folk in my peer group thatve died before their time, booze has been the ...

You don't present your case and/or change opinions by running though... Twitter is owned by the guy who'll be standing at Trump's right-hand - the days that you could say it is impartial are long gone. That bird has flown. So, other media outlets taking a moral stand? Yeah, why not. It'd be like th...
