i found it amasing you could have a degree in English literature and then go straight into a management consultant role tbh never mind the rest

it’s as good a background for management consultancy as any other

It’s cadence
and aerodynamics, of course.

The savings depend entirely on how your company run the scheme – there’s no one right way to do it.
Exactly that. Little more than an interest-free loan for some, no real ‘saving’ per se.

will. I can’t see the wheels, because my eyes are bleeding from the state of that bar tape. Get it changed.

It was more Peter O’hanraha-hanrahan than The Thick Of It.

I’m more worried about the “myself and Alex” subtitle, me.
Why worried? It serves an important purpose – identifies the author as a numpty straight away.

Which is why we all give way to horses, isn’t it?
yes.

Here we go, its wrong , its right, my view is correct, yours is wrong blah blah blah.
Did they behave sensibly….yes
Were they in control……..yes
Did they hammer it down”forcing walkers off the track”…….no
Was it a bright idea…….probably not
Did they break any laws……..no

Looks like a good run on a quiet day, the sheer amount of other users would put me off straight away, but did they know at the time how busy it would get as they must have started out pretty early.

So before you rush off condemning people for not fitting with your idea’s of whats wrong and right, sit back , wind your neck in and have a little think.
God bless you all.
Why carry on after the first line? The rest of your post was precisely that.

So … I ask … should one take a personal responsibility test before being allowed anywhere near a mountain?

no. HTH.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 you get the idea, it tends to work quite well and you don’t get people asking all night why their table is called something that the majority of people don’t have a clue about.

this.

Although, careful seating plans can, as above, cause major comedy moments. I have a friend with an unhealthy obsession for the larger-chested lady. He goes into a trance at the very sight of breasts. It’s a medical condition, I believe it’s called Norkolepsy. So, where better to seat him than between his wife and a friend of ours who has the fortune/misfortune to have a set of JJs.

Bless. Poor dozy div. I can’t answer that question, because it is something you have formed in your own little addled mind. And yet in the next line you state the opposite.
Have a lie down.

Is that why they go on strike every 12 years – just because they’re “lazy” ? How do you know that ?
Or is that comment the sort of knee-jerk response one can expect from some dozy div too lazy to be bothered to think for themselves.
No. Going on strike is what one can expect from some dozy div too lazy to be bothered to think for themselves.
And why do you think they might need to get ‘the public on their side’ eh ?
Nothing. Bizarre.
They are in dispute with their employers, you know, those employers in the oil industry like Shell and BP who always make staggering profits even during recessions when most other people are suffering, so whether the public supports them or not is quite irrelevant.
There is absolutely no reason at all why the tanker drivers would need public support to win this dispute – they can easily win it without that. Again, this suggests a knee-jerk reaction from a dozy div too lazy to bother working out that this isn’t a dispute like public sector workers where public hostility to the employers, ie the government, can to an extent further their cause.
Your response suggests someone trying to read things that aren’t there. Take a day off. Maybe make a placard or two.
Maybe your brain has gone on strike ?
If it had, does that mean another day off work? Brilliant.

Sweeping generalisations about American cheese. Oh, and what Crikey said. And, riders with skills but no fitness. You go past them on a climb and then they’re trying to get past you on the next downhill, only to get in your way again on the next climb or section of flat trail…

Aren’t they going on strike about safety and training?
Disgracefull (sic)
FTFY.

Ah, good old industrial action. Bringing the nation together and getting the public on your side. You really can’t beat it. God bless those lazy tanker drivers.

Not tight, and a bit of colour? What you appear to be looking for is called a ‘Mumu’, not a ‘jersey’.

Oh…and what Wozza said. Except, the night before a race, don’t go for

I’ve tried all of those other than Game of Thrones. And I can confirm, they’re all shite.

7 biscuits is fine. Your use of the word ‘brew’ is not.

(oh and ‘Amarettis’ is also appalling. Go and learn about plurals.)

have you ever noticed how yer actual salmon is a bit pointy at both ends, yet all cans of salmon are the same size?

idiot colleague of mine once locked his bike by putting a D-lock through the front wheel and onto a railing. Someone merely flipped the QR and wandered off with the rest of the bike.
IC’s comments: ‘ooh, I’ve been unlucky there’.
No, you’ve been your usual f***tard self.

Of course there will. And there will always be people who sign a consent form which says it could make them very ill or even die but they will ignore that and focus on the cash, and then look for compensation afterwards.

have been involved in many, many thousands. Done a few, worked on lots. Lots of good stories but signed confidentiality clauses ;)

Is it lunar at all?

Something he has seen is similar to something he’s only seen in photographs. Fair point. Bit like seeing a lady’s front bottom in real life for the first time. Might look a bit different but essentially it’s very mingey.

Yes, if he comes back and says it was ‘very aquatic’

Well, various others have.

it’s what’s left after a poor pinata has been clubbed to death.

iPlayer and the occasional bit of 4OD is about the sum of my TV-watching. I’d gladly pay the licence fee any day.
The rest of it is all sh1t, basically. Anything on ITV, anything American which doesn’t feature either Homer Simpson or Stewie Griffin…utter dross.

Why did you even start this thread? Coming over as very bitter.

joao3v16 wanted to be an Octonaut, but failed the selection.

Bury is in Greater Manchester, not Lancashire
IT may werry very well be, but it’s still Lancashire. The county cricket champions, Lancashire, are based in Manchester. Thus, Manchester is Lancashire.

so even his own description is based on his own perception formed from a few photo’s and some guys talking about it from 40 odd years ago.

Oh, the irony.

he’s been to *one* of the two places. You’ve (presumably) been to *neither*. So he, by definition, has infinitely more knowledge of the subject than yow. ;)

Two wrongs for the price of one!

He’s been there, you haven’t. How can you question it? For all we know there may be no water or pressure or gravity or darkness or life down there. It may be *proper* lunar, complete with aliens and that.

Butchers. Ram’s bottom. Eew. none of yer fillet mignon here, lad, we eat mutton arris.

not even that.

Scotch corner is *originally* from north of the border. It’s where the ancient kings of scotchland used to stop for a pie and a dump after dismembering a prossie. Was intended to be taken to Westminster abbey, only the chaps carrying it got a bit bored so left it for the maccems.

@rustyspanner
Scotch is a drink you toss pot.

Scotch is an adjective for anything from north of the border. Whisky, eggs, mist, corner, people.

Champagne is only produced in the Champagne region, by law. I’ll happily drink some truly excellent sparkling from other countries and regions, though. California makes some very nice stuff IMO.
But it’s not champagne, by definition. People from outside Yorkshire can be racist, but not quite as vehemently. Stuff not made in Lancs may be nice, but it’s just ‘blood and guts sausage’, not black pudding.

At a guess..,Bury? ;)
